The GRAYL water filter cup is one of the coolest, eye-catching water filter bottles we've seen in years. Don't believe us?

Fill up the 16-ounce GRAYL, push the... filter down French-press style, and drink up...You can seal the lid tight and throw the whole thing in your pack, or take it off entirely and chug. Each filter is good for 40 gallons." OUTSIDE MAGAZINE BUYER'S GUIDE (May 2014) The GRAYL water filter bottle works like a French press producing 500 mL of clean, safe, great tasting drinking water in just seconds. Fill-press-drink! The GRAYL is stylish enough for the office and tough enough for the outdoors. Also available in matte black and on sale for a limited time.
