Does any one use metal bottles?
submitted over 7 years ago by blowagimp

If you do or have ever did it effect anything? I would think they do, but I am not sure.

Glass will always be best. Certain plastics and metals can seep. No glass will seep, afaik.

May depend on the bottle seal. Drinks in metal flasks can taste like plastic or rubber if the wrong ones are used.

I agree. For example, I had an aluminum water bottle back in high school and when I drank out of it it had a slight metal taste to it. But stainless steel might be fine.

That's interesting, I knew certain plastics could seep, but what metals can seep? I'm guessing that something in the juice can have a corrosive effect on certain metals?

Metals and acids don't get along. Anything sour will get a little of the metal in it.

I'm not sure. I think stainless steel and titanium would be safe, but I wouldn't trust much else. Low enough grade of either of those would have me worried too, especially the Ti

I’m not sure about SS but Ti formed an oxide layer nearly immediately. The oxide layer is just microns thick but incredibly hard and tough, and it protects Ti extremely well. From what I recall, Ti was brought about by the Russians looking for a solution to submarines rusting. Since the Ti forms it’s protective oxide layer the way it does, it allowed them to create subs that didn’t rust like steel did and thus didn’t require all of the rust mitigation that steel would.

My point: that oxide layer should keep whatever liquid you’re drinking from ever actually contacting Ti, so I’d imagine it would give you a pretty “pure” taste.

I do love me some glass and the mouths (like say Boston rounds or jars) are big enough for me to fit my mixer in while plastic often isn’t.

Are you looking to store large quantaties of juice? Mason jars are the best for that. Easy to mix in and shake as well.

No I just want a 1st hand opinion, I have seen juice for sale and a metal container would be a boon for a couple of folks I know, hiking and rafting purposes type o setup. I believe the flavor would be effected but if someone has tried a couple of different metal bottles and found they don't it would be worth the ten bucks for five.

Not worth it. Nasty juice use these and they are crap, leak everywhere. Never had any bad taste from them though, and I reused one for diy for quite a while before the leaking got to me.

Also on what everyone else already said I imagine the price of the juice would almost double if they were using stainless steel bottles. Quality Stainless is super expensive

Metals and plastics are too reactive. Glass is one of the most inert materials known which is why it's used in chemistry experiments and for quality food/drink containment.
