Coleman FreeFlow Water Bottle

Why I like this Coleman water bottle. 1. The very long time that it will keep liquids hot or cold (all day). It appears to do that 20% better than most stainless steel tumblers. 2. It is very helpful to have a "dust cover" lid that keeps construction dust, dirt, etc away from the mouthpiece. 3. After each sip, it auto closes, which helps keep the inside clean and preserves the temperature of the inside. 4. As I sit at my desk, I can sip water without flipping a switch to open an opening, then switching it back closed again. 5. If this falls over, it is not going to leak, make a mess, or ruin my notebook computer. 6. I will probably use the loop to attach to my belt when walking. 7. I like the silicone bottom, which keeps it from sliding and from harming wood tables. 8. This is both beautifully and strongly constructed for years of perfect use. I have been using Yeti tumblers up until buying this Coleman water bottle. Reasons 1 to 8 above are why I switched. I am on a life long healthy diet which involves my drinking 8 cups of water throughout the day. Yes water should be listed as the 6th food group. VERY important to health. This Coleman watter bottle can be wherever I am to provide ice cold water (I don't like drinking warm water): my desk (this allows safely setting right next to my keyboard), my bed room (on my night table as I need a sip in the middle of the night), by the couch (on the end or coffe table) watching tv, in the workshop (right next to my crosscut saw), working outside (house/car maintenance - and other projects), working in the sometimes very hot attic, shopping in the hardware store (loading lumber), in my tractor cup holder (it can take 2 hours to mow my yard sometimes in 100 degree temps), in my car cup holder (for short or very long trips), walking (clipped to my belt), in my back pack, at the beach, biking (in the bike cup holder), in the gym (in the treadmill cup holder), in my gym bag (sideways or any ways). I chose the 24 ounce size due to its ability to be carried and fit so many places. I dont think I would use the 40 ounce version many of the places I go. I am using it just for actual real unadulterated H2O water (not for colas, coffee, etc), so I dont believe that any issues at all will arise in trying to clean the spout mechanism. In long past years, I have had other tumblers/bottles with complex mechanical seals and did not like how sugar and coffee creamer would get deposited in the mechanism, making it difficult or even impossible to clean. Anyway, for me, this is just for my WATER. I allow myself one cup of coffee in the morning and will use a tumbler with a very simple seal which can easily be cleaned. I give this Coleman WATER Bottle 10 stars. Five would be too little. It is a super, amazing tool in my daily tool box, with a specific, focused purpose. Other tools (like a coffee tumbler) may be used for other purposes, with no disrespect to the water bottle.

Most people will rate their purchases within the first few days or weeks of ownership. Unfortunately that doesn't reveal much about the longevity of the product being reviewed. My review for this is being shared after owning the 40oz bottle for almost 5 years. My opinion? You MUST buy this bottle. Nothing else will come close to the quality and longevity for the price. I use this bottle and spout literally every day. The spout mechanism is probably the best design I've ever seen. It's more complicated than most other lids/spouts out there, but dang, the engineers who designed this absolutely nailed it. It simply works and it doesn't leak (there are two caveats I will get to on this later) from the spout like pretty much every other water bottle I've owned. Even nearly 5 years later and a ton of abuse, this thing stays leak-free the majority of the time. The insulated metal body is also quite a rock star here. Hot drinks stay hot. Cold drinks stay cold. It's also incredibly durable as well. While most of the time, it's this bottle is used in relatively mundane environments like at home or office, both the bottle and cap/spout have proved to be exceptionally durable and have withstood *a lot* of abuse, such as being tossed in the back of military tactical vehicles where it bounces around, banging into everything. This bottle has also handled drops from less than 10 feet onto concrete and asphalt and drops greater than 10 feet onto softer surfaces such as gravel roads/dirt. Not just once either. It's handled such falls quite a number of times, with one falling lid first from about 5 feet when it was full 40oz of water. The metal body does not seem to care about falls. Heck, the paint barely seems to care either. As complicated as the spout mechanism is, it's very easy to clean with a dish brush and dish soap. The bottle says to hand-wash only, but I toss both it and the lid in the dishwasher and nothing bad seems to have happened. Your mileage may vary though. In terms of the occasional leaks, I've found this can happen from two different reasons. The first is not twisting the lid back on completely. If it's a bit lose, it will leak from the neck (this is a weird sounding sentence). The solution is to just make sure you tighten it more. The next leak area is the spout. I should preface by saying leaks from here have been *exceptionally* rare, at least for me. When it does happen, it's usually because the silicone seal isn't fully seated due to dirt or the button was pushed a small bit. The solution here is to make sure you keep the silicone seal clean and inspect it for damage whenever you clean it. If everything looks fine, but it still leaks, then the button might be slightly jammed open or the mechanism wasn't realigned properly. This will make more sense once you have it in your hands and look at everything. Another cause for leaks is if it's full of hot drinks (or if you fill it and then go onto an airplane). The steam and/or pressure change will pressurize everything. Normally this would improve the seal, but there have been cases where it leaked a little from some part of the bottle. The solution is to keep the bottle upright and release the pressure by pushing the button thing. Finally, in one of the pictures I posted, you can see the carry handle is broken and the spout cover lid is cracked. The cracked spout cover was caused by a 5 foot fall straight-straight down onto concrete while being filled with water. It only cracked the lid. The marks around the hinge were from me trying to remove the lid (to try replacing it, but I failed). The broken carry handle happened literally yesterday (from the day this review is being posted). The handle was up and it fell onto ceramic tile handle first. The bottle was full with water. I don't think anything except metal or TPU/rubber would have survived that impact. The fact this happened nearly 5 years after owning it, this sort of thing was bound to happen and can't be blamed on the build quality. It's also possible that cleaning everything in the dishwasher made it a bit more brittle over time. Who knows. So yes. This is a very long review that rates the product after 5 years of daily use. The conclusion is that it does exactly what it needs to do, is exceptionally durable, and all at a very good price.

I am sorry, I have had most of the popular COOL brand water bottles...the ones with cute logos...great colors etc etc. All I can say is this is my second Coleman FreeFlow bottle and it is just AMAZING and so well designed. Compared to the often much pricier cute logo'd bottles such as Takeya, Hydro Flask, CamelBak..even Stanley this Coleman might be somehow boring? Coleman beats them all as to its purpose!! That is, to drink out of, keep things cold/hot a LONG time, even has a rubber bottom to avoid loud clangs when setting it down, or dings to the bottom. The others you gotta buy some silicon nonsense another $4-$5, or other third party silicon nonsense to stop leaks from straws etc. I say boring if you more like to just PLAY with your water btl, and want a cutsie must have, certain color bottle. The lid is ingenious, But yeah, doesn't come in 25 colors. You need just one hand, one finger really..push the button, magic :)..water comes out to drink. Take your finger off the button this bottle NEVER leaks... It keeps cold cold, and hot hot. I even love the colors actually, esp the blue. If you want to stop the nonsense and get a water bottle that is SO easy to use, esp one handed without fancy straws, add ons...stuff that will get moldy, this Coleman is the BEST. I had another FreeFlow it's maybe 5 years old..it still doesn't leak it still looks almost new, I only got a new one ONLY to get a new blue color. Price wise, quality wise..this is one of the best purchases I have ever made. It should fit ANY car cup holder far as I know, Easy to clean,...simple and GREAT, I even like the way it looks. Just BUY it!

I never really write reviews, but felt compelled to share my love for this water bottle. I've had this bottle for over 5 years now and when I initially bought it I had no idea how much I would appreciate this bottle. It's never grown moldy at all on any parts and I'm not the type of person to wash my bottle daily so this has been great for me. I had bought an owala bottle and kept tasting mold when I would drink from it even when I would clean it daily. This bottle is also easy to clean, I love that it doesn't have a straw and is self sealing. It has never once leaked. I've dropped it, banged it etc. and it's gotten a few small dents here and there, but overall has been just as good as the day I got it. The button still works great, the lid, the handle, everything. A contigo water bottle I had, the handle broke off when I dropped it once. If I put ice, there will still be ice in it the next day. The only wear and tear is the rubber on the button part fell off. The only downside is I wish it came in cute colors like owala or stanley's etc. but every time I think about buying a different bottle I hesitate because of how perfect this one is. The only other downside is it doesn't fit in a cupholder, but truly for it's function, it's amazing. It's a great water bottle for lazy people like me, because it takes minimal to no maintenance to use and keeps my water cold all day. I love that I just push a button to drink and I don't have to deal with a straw (I hate straws on water bottles). I have nothing else to add, except that at this point this is my emotional support water bottle and I'll keep it with me forever lol

This is by far the absolute best water bottle I have ever used. Purchased in 2018 - 7yrs in and still going strong. Writing a review now because I'm actually looking to pick up another and was curious when I purchased the first one. Design and functionality are top notch - I have dropped this thing so many times and yet it remains leak-proof. Simple one-finger water function - no straws to clean, just a well designed bottle and your water. Keeps ice for many hours, warm beverages are warm 12hrs later.

I enjoy walking outdoors during the spring through the fall. I live in coastal Virginia and the humidity in the summer months is over 70 percent nearly all summer long (from late may to end of September) I wanted a water bottle that would keep my water ICE COLD for the duration of my walks. anywhere from 30 minutes to over a hour. After reading several reviews, i decided on this model (the 24 ounce version). prior to this, i was using a plastic non-insulated Gatorade water bottle. within 20 minutes, the water was warm and the ice had completely melted. This bottle boasts a leak free design. there is a small button you push when you want a drink. that feature works flawlessly, and there is another button you can slide to insure the button can't be accidentally pushed. i never use this feature though. Feels strong and very sturdy. there is NO PLAY in this bottle, its as solid as a rock. so your hand will get tired of holding it for long distances. i loop it around one of my fingers at times while im walking or switch hands. 24 ounces with ice (really isn't enough for a walk longer than 30 minutes). keep this in mind, and plan accordingly. hopefully there are places to refill along your route, or you can simply stop off at home refill, then head back out. all in all, a good water bottle. i feared that the 40 oz version would be too big. but it appears that the 24 oz is not quite big enough. i think 32 OZ would have been the sweet spot. but, that's just my view. all in all, this bottle does exactly what its designed to do. I would recommend it.

I am the queen of water bottles. I have all brand from cheap to expensive. I bought this one to take overseas. It was cheap and I thought if I lose it or it breaks no big deal. This is THE BEST water bottle in the world! Tough a nails, works as it should and easy to hold. I love that it's seals tight and has a small handle for carrying. It also has a flip back cap to cover the drinking spout. I take it to the casino and guard it like gold. I have the 40oz too. I also have this in lime green, black and the turquoise color and thinking of ordering more to just have. It's great for camping and outdoor use. No bugs are crawling down a straw or into a small opening on this bottle. The seal is tight and it's easy to hold. Doesn't get heavy like all the others. The 40oz can be cumbersome when filled but the smaller size is perfect. I keep buying more thinking eventually it will break but it hasn't at all. Plus I'm scared they will quit making them so I'm stocking up for the next 40 years! QUALITY and keeps cold for days. Come on Coleman send me some for free. I need them!

Perfect fit — but I should’ve ordered the 40 oz (which was less expensive, so I’ll wind up ordering one that size too! I love the locking mechanism and the color is fantastic! Functions exceptionally well; better because of the locking mechanism that’s simple to maneuver for me when I’m drinking and driving-WATER ONLY LOL! Plus it has a rubber on the base so it shouldn’t shift, slide or topple over when I’m driving; it fits perfectly in my car’s cup holder. I MUST stay hydrated all day and this size encourages me to do so, I simply love it! There was no smell and it has a little window to show where you should stop pouring your liquid, to avoid spillage/leaking. This would make a great gift because the Coleman name has been around for decades so you know the quality is exceptional. Don’t hesitate to get yours (or for a loved one) you will not be disappointed!

ممتازة وتحفظ البرودة ولكن ماتقدر تشرب الا وانت ضاغط الزر

Garrafa térmica muito boa. Compraria novamente. Realmente mantém gelado por várias horas e é muito bonita.

Colemanの水筒だけあって作りがしっかりしています。アウトドアにも便利な吊り下げるとってがついていて、中身が漏れないようにキャップカバーが付いています。そして飲むときに押すリリースボタンなどのギミックがとても好きです。 商品も迅速に届き、綺麗に梱包されていました。また機会があれば利用させていただきます。

Tengo un año utilizando este termo y lo recomiendo muchísimo. No he tenido ningún accidente en mi mochila por derrame de líquido y lo acomodo acostado y sin incidentes. También compré uno más grande para el agua y cumple perfectamente su función. Me gustaría que hubiera de color morado ya que ese es mi favorito, estaré en la espera de que salga uno.

Nice colour and good insulation
