Does water taste better from a metal bottle?

A resounding yes on this one! Stainless steel or aluminimum does not absorb flavours in the same way that plastic water bottles do, meaning a cleaner, fresher taste every time.

Is stainless steel or aluminium the best choice for water bottles?

If your budget can stretch to it, then stainless steel bottles offer the edge over aluminium drinks bottles, because aluminium can sometimes react to fizzy or acidic drinks, additionally stainless steel bottles are available in an insulated format, meaning your drinks will stay hot for 12 hours and cold for 24 hours in the right conditions. Whereas an aluminium bottle will become hot to the touch and not retain the heat for such a long period. This makes stainless steel insulated bottles the winner for an all round water bottle that can be used in any season making these an excellent investment.

This really depends on how you are planning to use your metal drinks bottle, but if you are after an all purpose bottle then a screw lid is the simplest option, if you are wanting to use one at the gym, then a lid with an integrated straw, flip lid, or push-button function will be the most practical, and if you are an avid cyclist then choose one that will fit in your cycle bottle holder.
