Kerplunk for my coffee! The perfect thermal coffee mug.

July 14, 2011

KERPLUNK makes my all time favorite stainless steel coffee tumbler.

Why? Because of the lid of course!  It's all about how the shape of the lid and lip feels when it hits my mouth. Drinking coffee is sensual. If I have to drink it out of a thermal tumbler because I'm on-ze-go, or sipping in bed with two kids in the morning and not wanting to spill a hot bevvy on them (been there, not fun), I want the lip to be as unobtrusive in mouth as possible. I want to get straight to the good stuff without being reminded that I have a hideous piece of plastic in my mouth.

Kerplunk's is perfectly designed.  It holds 17oz, has a nice lip and thumb-slide closure which WORKS by the way.

I also appreciate the rubber grip.  I am a spiller and this helps with my spasticness.

The colors are stunning and their kids line ($8.99)is adorable (you probably have seen at Whole Foods) and my daughter is of course obsessed  with her princess bottle. Anything to get her to drink water!  Also their version of a sippy cup rocks too.  ($10.99)

And look at these glass bottles!

You can purchase in LA at WHOLE FOODS or EREWHON.

Refresh your drinking wardrobe! WATERGEEKS snappy new bottle has its own little built in filtration system. Talk about Spring cleaning!

Perfect timing.  I am never (and I mean EVER) without a water bottle. When I noticed that mine was filled with a creepy looking grimed – I freaked.  And tossed it.  I was out of my Skweet cleaner and deseprately needed a new one. 

Hellloo, WATER GEEKS.  First, I was taken with the stunning perfect grass green of their latest line.  But more importantly, there is a genius in this bottle that I have yet to experience for myself.  They've come out with a portable and affordable solution to filtering out the infamous chromium-6, on top of all of the bad odors, tastes and contaminants, found in tap water.

YAY!  

Why Stainless Filtered Bottles

① Questionable Water Quality

• According to a recent Gallop pole, 53% of Americans name “contamination

of drinking water” as their number one environmental concern.

② BPAs

• The admissions of popular aluminum bottle manufacturers regarding their

historic BPA contents can only serve to keep BPA's a major consumer and

media “Hot Button.”

③ Lead and other heavy metals

• High levels of lead have been confirmed in children in Washington, D.C. and

Greenville, N.C and “Watchdogs” now recommend consumption of only

filtered or bottled water to high-risk nursing mothers, children under 12, the

elderly and anyone with a compromised immune system.

④ On the Move

• 75% of bottled water is consumed away from the home making filtered water

pitchers unavailable when needed most.

⑤ Bottled Water

• Bottled water criticism has steadily increased as environmental waste, costs,

regulation and quality concerns continue to surface
