There are few things worse than going to take a sip of hot coffee and ending up with a mouthful of lukewarm bean water, or reaching for a refreshing glass of ice cold water only to find that the ice has melted. Fortunately, vacuum insulated water bottles provide the ideal solution; keeping your drink of choice at the temperature you want it to stay throughout the day.
Vacuum insulated water bottles or vacuum flasks work by creating a buffer between the liquid stored in the compartment and the external environment, keeping the temperature inside the bottle consistent. Most vacuum sealed water bottles are double-walled, which prevents condensation forming on the exterior of the carrier. In addition to keeping your drink at your desired temperature, vacuum insulated water bottles are far more eco-friendly than their disposable plastic counterparts.
Vacuum insulated water bottles no longer exist in an esoteric market; there are a multitude of insulated water bottles claiming superiority over the rest. Luckily, we’ve done the hard work for you and selected the 19 best vacuum insulated water bottles.
