Dishwasher-safe, eco-friendly, high-quality stainless steel water bottles from Klean Kanteen offer a great alternative to plastic and lined metal bottles. Constructed of food-grade #304 stainless steel, Kleen Kanteen bottles are BPA-free and 100 percent recyclable. An all-stainless steel interior, 18/8 stainless caps, and stainless steel threads mean the bottles won't retain or leach flavors, so you get a fresh, clean, crisp drink every time. Because Klean Kanteen bottles are constructed of food-grade stainless steel, they're not coated with a plastic or epoxy lining like aluminum bottles.
The new wide mouth line of bottles have an opening more than two inches in diameter, which makes filling, pouring, and cleaning the bottle a cinch, and the universal thread design works with most standard backcountry water filters without an adapter. With the Klean Kanteen Wide, you have even more earth- and body-friendly choices. They come in five sizes, ranging from 12 to 64 ounces, and all come in pure, shiny brushed stainless steel. The wide bottles are shorter and more compact than Klean Kanteen Classic bottles but incorporate the same slim design, meaning sizes up to 27 ounces fit in most cup holders. They also come standard with the Stainless Loop Cap, which works seamlessly with the S-Biner, so it's a snap to clip it right onto a shoulder strap or pack.

Klean Kanteen Wide Loop Cap Reviews
I bought my 2 27oz wide kleen kanteens, for my teacher and I, directly from their website. I was afraid to order from another supplier. I also wrote the company before I made my purchase. They assured me there was no bad taste, it was really stainless and all the other questions I came up with. They arrived within just a few days and I was excited to open the package. Sure enough they were beautiful! I have been using mine ALMOST every single day for school, work and any time I go out. My teacher did not like the big size, so she gave hers to her son. But, I kinda wish I bought the 40-oz and still may buy one.
If I do not clean it every day, it will quickly get a bad taste. So, I decided from now on, just wash it out every day and I have NEVER had any problem since. And there has NEVER been any "goo" in it. It looks just as nice as the first day I bought it. I will fill it with sweet tea, chocolate milk, soda, or water.
And I ONLY decided to even buy these after I talked with the company directly. They explained the old style of making these bottles vs. the new style. There's a chance if you are complaining you are getting some middle man's stock of the older style bottles.
I suggest you give these company a 2nd chance! I am actually going to buy an 18 oz. for my teacher for Christimas, since she is still drinking out of the nasty plastic bottles.
And do yourself another favor, don't fall for those aluminum bottles either-read about them, they can cause Al overdose. This stainless steel is the way to go!
And even the lid has steel on it. The ONLY plastic inside is actually on the rim where it seals-so it's not "technically" in the water at all! The plastic on the outside of course, does not touch your water either!
I am angry with myself though. One day I had it in the side pocket of my Backpack, but I did not have the compression cord over it like I normally do-was just lazy. So, sure enough as I was removing the pack, it fell out and all the way to the concrete! It got a small dent in the bottom of the can and a scratch on the plastic handle. Other than that, it even looks the same!
Just make sure what you are buying before you buy it. Go to the company for this one!
