Experience
What I test and evaluate
My focus is intentionally narrow: everyday drinkware and hydration products, evaluated on the details that determine whether they are genuinely good to live with.
- Reusable water bottles
- Insulated drinkware
- Lids and drinking systems
- Thermal performance
- Cleaning and maintenance
- Portability and ergonomics
- Materials and safety claims
- Hydrogen water bottles
My baseline rule: if I have not personally owned and used a product, I do not publish a hands-on review of it. Product pages and manufacturer claims can inform research, but they do not replace first-hand testing.
- 24-hour cold and 12-hour hot retention
- Leak and lid-usability testing
- Timed disassembly and cleaning
- Weight, dimensions and cup-holder fit
- Flow rate and drinking comfort
- Durability and repeated everyday use
