The Bobble, a filter top water bottle developed by the famed product designer Karim Rashid, has hit the water bottle scene. They look pretty darn snazzy, although we have not had a chance to try one here at TapIt.The clear plastic bottle is made from recycled PET and the plastic around the carbon filter is also made from recycled plastic. This is a big plus, since it would be kind of silly to be adding to plastic waste while buying a bottled water alternative.
Filters are a key feature for water bottles for people who live in areas that have less than clean tasting tap water. The only problem is, most filter bottles on the market don't let the water pass through the filter very quickly. The water ends up dribbling out. It is not the most satisfying way to hydrate. We have yet to see if the Bobble improves on this problem. I imagine they did with all the design savvy that has gone into that curvy design.
Has anybody tried them out? Let us know what you think!
The Bobble will run you $9.95 and $6.95 for a replacement filter.
