The Memobottle Stainless Steel is a flat, paper-sized water bottle made of food-safe 304 stainless steel, available in four sizes ranging from 250 to 1,080 milliliters. It is leak-proof, heat- and freeze-resistant, has a satin-finish powder coating, and is not insulated. This guide explains how it differs from the original Memobottle made of Tritan, which size fits in which bag, and what you need to keep in mind when caring for and filling it. <\/p>\n\n

Stainless Steel or Tritan: How It Differs from the Original Memobottle<\/h2>\n\n

The shape is the same, but the material is not. The original Memobottle is made of Tritan, a BPA-free plastic that is lightweight and translucent. The stainless steel version has a body made of 304 stainless steel with a satin-finished powder coating, a lid made of BPA- and BPS-free plastic, and a seal made of food-safe silicone. It is heavier, opaque, and significantly more resistant to scratches and impacts. You can read about where Memobottle comes from and why the bottle is flat in the profile \u201cThe Bottle That Fits in Any Bag.\u201d<\/a> <\/p>\n\n

Two details are designed differently in the stainless steel version. First, the opening: it\u2019s 28 millimeters in diameter, so you can fill it quickly under the faucet and take big sips. Second, the thread: it\u2019s on the inside instead of the outside. When drinking, your lips touch smooth steel instead of a thread, and the drinking surface is covered when the lid is closed, keeping it clean. Anyone familiar with the Tritan version will notice the difference with the very first sip. <\/p>\n\n

What the stainless steel Memobottle is not: a thermos. It has a single wall and no vacuum insulation. Hot tea doesn\u2019t stay hot for hours, and the outside of the bottle gets warm. But it\u2019s slimmer and lighter than any double-walled bottle of the same volume, and that\u2019s exactly what this design is all about. <\/p>\n\n

Memobottle Stainless Steel: A Comparison of Sizes<\/h2>\n\n

Four sizes, all 37 to 39 millimeters thick. The number in the name corresponds to the paper size on which the surface is based. <\/p>\n\n

Rule of thumb: The A6 is the size for everyday use, the A5 for a full day without refilling, the A7 for the commute to the office or an evening out, and the Slim for anyone who prefers a tall, narrow bottle to a flat, wide one. The colors are the same for all four sizes: black, white, pistachio, ros\u00e9, butter yellow, red, and powder blue. <\/p>\n\n

Memobottle A6 Stainless Steel: 500 ml for your purse<\/h2>\n\n

The Memobottle A6 Stainless Steel<\/a> is the model most people end up choosing. It holds 500 milliliters in a body measuring 181 by 105 millimeters\u2014about the size of a paperback book. It lies flat in your purse next to your wallet, in your backpack next to your notebook, and doesn\u2019t stick out anywhere. It weighs 320 grams when empty and a good 800 grams when filled with water\u2014you can carry it all day without it getting in the way. <\/p>\n\t

Memobottle Slim Stainless Steel: 600 ml, tall and slim<\/h2>\n\n

The Memobottle Slim Stainless Steel<\/a> flips the concept on its head: instead of being flat and wide, it\u2019s flat and tall\u2014268 millimeters high and 80 millimeters wide. This means it fits in a backpack\u2019s side pocket, in a car\u2019s cup holder, and in the narrow space between a laptop and the side of a bag. 600 milliliters is enough for half a workday, and because it\u2019s tall, you can always grab it right by the handle when it\u2019s in your backpack. <\/p>\n\t

A5 and A7 Stainless Steel: The Largest and the Smallest<\/h2>\n\n

The Memobottle A5 Stainless Steel<\/a> holds 1,080 milliliters\u2014more than a liter\u2014in a bottle that\u2019s just 39 millimeters thick. It fits flat in the laptop compartment of a backpack next to a 15-inch device and replaces two smaller bottles. Weighing 465 grams when empty and about 1.5 kilograms when full, it\u2019s the perfect choice for long days, college, and travel. <\/p>\n\n

At the other end of the spectrum is the Memobottle A7 Stainless Steel<\/a> with a 250-milliliter capacity: 138 by 74 millimeters, 230 grams\u2014the size of a large smartphone. It fits in the inside pocket of a blazer or the back pocket of a pair of jeans\u2014perfect for the commute to work, a trip to a restaurant, or a walk. Both sizes are available in the same seven colors as the A6 and Slim models. <\/p>\n\n

The holder that keeps the bottle upright<\/h2>\n\n

A flat bottle won’t stand upright on its own. The Memobottle Universal Holder<\/a>, made of powder-coated steel, accommodates any Memobottle\u2014whether stainless steel or Tritan, with or without a silicone sleeve\u2014and keeps it upright on a desk, nightstand, or shelf. Important when purchasing: The older Original Holder is only compatible with the Tritan models, not with the stainless steel bottles. For the stainless steel Memobottle, you\u2019ll need the Universal Holder. <\/p>\n\t

Care, Filling, and What Not to Put Inside<\/h2>\n\n

Memobottle recommends washing the stainless steel bottle by hand: mix one part vinegar with four parts warm water, shake, let it sit, then rinse thoroughly. The lid and silicone gasket are replaceable; the bottle is built to last for years, not just one season. Hot drinks are fine, cold ones too, and you can even freeze it. Just keep hot contents in mind: The bottle isn\u2019t insulated, so the outside gets as warm as the tea inside. <\/p>\n\n

According to Memobottle, carbonated beverages are not suitable for any of the models\u2014neither the stainless steel nor the Tritan ones. Still water, tea, coffee, juice: all are fine. <\/p>\n\n

What Every Bottle Sold Accomplishes<\/h2>\n\n

Memobottle is a certified B Corporation. For every bottle sold, the brand partners with Water.org to provide five months of clean drinking water to someone who would otherwise lack access to it. According to the company, this has resulted in over 50 million days of clean water to date. This applies to every stainless-steel Memobottle sold by One Horizon, just as it does to orders placed directly in Melbourne. <\/p>\n\n

Frequently Asked Questions About the Memobottle Stainless Steel<\/h2>\n\n

Is the Memobottle stainless steel bottle insulated?<\/h3>

No. The Memobottle Stainless Steel is single-walled and not vacuum-insulated.

On the other hand, it\u2019s thinner and lighter than any double-walled bottle of the same volume. <\/p><\/div><\/div>
