Breakability
I have been using a kor one bottle for the last year. Love it. Except... the little hooks on the lid break when dropped. Not a real surprise. But, being a company that prides its self in being "green" I would think I could purchase a replacement lid to repair the vessel I have. Not so. I have to add it to the already over taxed waste dump. Also, the gasket over time wears out. Once again It cannot be replaced. So I ask myself, is this really green? I think not so much. I now have 2 broken bottles. :[

I LOVE MY KOR ONE
I did not think it was possible to be excited about a water bottle. I mean they are pretty basic in function and there are several choices out there for BPA free ones. But when I saw the KOR ONE I suddenly felt like I just had to have THAT KOR bottle.
It is really beautiful and I actually like taking it to my office. This is causing me to drink more water and has cured me of forgetting my water at home. This one gets put by my purse every morning without fail. I have always thought that the sheer number of water bottles I saw in the trash cans daily was a complete travesty. So I would re-use my plastic bottles I would buy at the store over and over. Well then I heard about the BPA in the plastics and I decided that I needed to change. That is when I went online and started looking for a safe alternative. And the rest is happy history--I found the photo of the bottle and their website and I patiently waited for it to be available. I now have it on my desk as I type.
Oh, I almost forgot I personalized my korstone. I wrote my own that says "kill the fat" which helps me to be a bit more motivated at the gym and during the day it helps me curb those desires to go buy a candy bar. It comes with some pre-printed ones and then you can write on the blank ones to make it personalized. This is really a cool feature that at first I thought wouldn't mean that much. But I really do read that korstone every drink I take.

I stepped up and ditched my Sigg for a KOR ONE. As much as KOR has been hyped-up online, the hype is well deserved. First, I like seeing my water. Second, everywhere I go I get stopped by people asking me where I got... more »
