When I decided to stop buying water in plastic bottles I got a Brita pitcher. I've used them for years now, and they work well.

I’ve used an older version of the Brita water bottle for more than 5 years. I use it only at work because we have to fill our bottles from the tap. It’s easy to clean and simple to change the cartridge.

It is much better to get a water filter/filtration system and just use a regular water bottle.

I am trying to cut back on drinking bottled water. I am reading mixed reviews online about the Brita water bottle from care of bottle (is a pain to take apart, clean, and put back together) to water tasting funny. What’s your experience?
