Hot water, on demand. You don’t know how much you need it until you have it. The off-brand is fine.

It replaces a kettle because you only have to fill it once and it keeps water at a set boiling temperature indefinitely. The fancier ones come with extra settings for the real tea nerds who are particular about their brewing temperatures.

Probably not actually my favorite water but the empty bottles are the gold standard among the lightweight backpacking community. There are lots of gadgets—like the "backcountry bidet"—that attach to these bottles to extend their usage when in the backcountry.

Sorry I’m not an enlightened tap water enjoyer like I just can’t do that to myself…
I’ve posted about her a few times. I’m a cheapskate and try to get deals on everything by buying used or refurbished or open box so this one stands out as one of my best pricier purchases. It’s about $400 so it’s not super expensive but it is compared to a Brita pitcher lol.
I thought about getting a Berkey but they are so huge and cumbersome and I didn’t want something that took up so much space + after doing research I decided the Bluevua filtration system is superior.
It’s honestly such a cool little device!! It’s just a tad bigger than a drip coffee machine and has a similar setup where the water is filtered into a borosilicate glass pitcher. It shows you the contaminant particulate level on the display. The water goes through four steps of purification and then a remineralization step. The filters last about one to two years. I just replaced mine for the first time since buying it and it was crazy how heavy the filters were compared to the new ones! And obviously it’s PORTABLE so you can take it with you anywhere you move.
It comes out tasting like the purest most perfect water you’ve ever seen. I used to have a Penguin filter pitcher and I hated that if I left a glass of water standing for too long it would have a weird taste but that never happens with this water because there’s nothing in it to like go bad or whatever 🤢 If you love the taste of bottled water but don’t want to expose yourself to microplastics and want to stop creating so much waste this is the MOVE and it’s much cheaper in the long run.

Dry the whole business out for a bit in the oven if you can stand the wait, but it’s even good when soggy.
