Hey, the packaging is a thousand more times attractive than plastic with a cheap printed label glued on it, and it's infinitely better for the environment. Stuff that's packaged well tastes better in a psychosomatic way.
More people will recycle cans as well, at least here in the US.
I swear cans impart an unpleasant taste on most acid neutral drinks. I can't stand canned tea or coffee even though they should have identical ingredients to thier bottled equivalents.
Some side's taste better from cans then plastic to me though so whatever.
Aluminium is one of those rare materials where it's cheaper to recycle existing stock rather than mining and refining new metal, the economic incentive helps.
Still though, not sure how I feel about this.
We got used to water in bottles, we can get used to this. It's just an established preference.
Plastic bottles tend to shed plastic particles into their contents as well so this is probably better anyway.
I still think if you buy bottled water you need your head examined.
This actually seems more attractive than bottles.
Your water will be more cool.
Won't taste like plastic.
Nice and Refreshing.
The fact that it looks like a beer can, you can give it to some drunk fucker who's had a bit too much.
I'm actually really interested. I usually chill my drinks to a really cold temperature right before freezing and that usually degrades the plastic. Does NOT feel healthy drinking plastic polluted water , and it tastes like shit.

Don't drink the water.
Anyway, I am interested to see if there is any difference in the taste.
If it can have much less environmental impact than plastic, then hell yeah
Sounded silly at first, but yeah I'm totally fine with this.
Wish they got bigger than 500ml

can I get uhhhhhhhh pint of water
The water here is safe to drink but it tastes awful and leaves tons of scale. After trying a few types of filters we gave up on drinking the tap water and started buying bottled water. What’s the problem?
Or you live in a place where tap water sucks. In sweden tap water is generally great, especially where I live right now, but when I went to New York there was no way I was gonna have the tap water over bottled water.
How do you reseal it for later use
Have you tried boiling it?
Maybe I don't want to boil a gallon of tap water every time I want a drink?
I would if it saves me money and is environmentally friendly
You'll say that until you have to actually do it, then you'll buy pre-filtered water in large enough volumes to last a couple of weeks like everyone else.
The cans look pretty neat, especially that resealable tab thing.
I took a peek at their website, and there is just one thing that I'm not completely sure about:

Shouldn't the higher thermal conductivity of aluminium be worse at isolating the water from the outside environment and therefore keep the water colder for a shorter period of time when compared to PET bottles?
I already do it myself, I boil two kettle two times a day. Once in the morning for tea and once at noon.
Heating water for tea is not the same thing as having to boil hard water to drink. I don't want to boil water every other time I want a drink of water just to then have to scrub the scale out of the pot.
I don’t use the entire kettle just for tea lol, I leave the rest to cool so it’ll last until the afternoon when I boil another batch again. In any case I dislike the taste of bottled water, there’s like a sour-like aftertaste
Where do you live? Michigan?
West Texas. The groundwater in my area is lime rich.
That's not "scale" dude that flav-r-wat-r.
I wouldn't feel bad about the plastic use as long as you're responsible with the waste. People misunderstand exactly HOW plastic impacts the environment; they think all plastic ends up in the ocean somehow but the fact is that most first world countries are responsible with their waste and either recycle it (for profit) or dump it in a landfill where it doesn't harm anything.
The problem with plastic waste is from Asia, mostly. Most of the plastic in the ocean is from China and India.
I kind of hate this new trend to try to get rid of plastic everything. Not that it's not helping in a small way, but the impact on waste plastic in the oceans is negligible. Countries with responsible waste management systems should focus on making those better and switching to more renewable energy sources as well, not banning plastic straws
Have you considered getting a water cooler, and buying filtered 18L jugs?
