The Cirkul Water Bottle design will help you drink more water and stay hydrated. Check out this review of the Cirkul, it might be just what you need to get healthy and drink more water overall. The Good
The Bad
In this review, we’ll cover:
You might be just like me and hate to drink plain water. It’s boring and you can only stand it for so long before getting burnt out on the taste (or lack thereof). But Cirkul has a unique way to jazz up your glass of H20 — basically, it turns your water bottle in time into something more than just a glass of plain water. What is Cirkul?Meet The Cirkul Solution for Building Healthy H2O Habits: Your Guide to Drinking Clean, Delicious Water I don’t know why I’m trying so many water bottles these days (see our LARQ Water Bottle Review), but I want you to meet the Cirkul water bottle. You may say, “Well, this just looks like a normal water bottle.” You’d be partially correct. The water bottle itself is there’s nothing fancy, but the actual fancy part is all in the cap. And it’s not even the whole cap. It’s this part of the cap right here: This part is the flavor pack (aka flavor cartridges). Cirkul calls this a “Sip.” They have multiple different flavors and styles of Sips: ranging from LifeSips (Flavor + B Vitamins), FitSips (Flavors + Electrolytes), GoSips (Flavor + Caffeine), PureSips (Unsweetened Flavor – think something like La Croix), TeaSips (Tea Flavor + Caffeine) and BrewSips (Coffee Flavor + Caffeine). In short, the “sips” are what turned the plain water into flavored water. All of the “Sips” are Zero Calories and the sweetened ones are sweetened with Sucralose, AKA Splenda or Stevia. No Flavors in the Water – The secret behind what makes Cirkul AwesomeHave you ever put Mio in a water bottle only to make the water bottle gross after a couple of days of use? Well, that’s where Cirkul is awesome. The water in the water bottle stays clean. The Flavor in the Sips are one way – meaning the flavor goes through the Sip to your mouth, but not in the water at all. This keeps the water bottle much cleaner than using something like Mio. In fact, if you just drink out of the water bottle, not the Sip, it will just be water. How Cirkul WorksUsing Cirkul is super easy:
It’s that easy. Cirkul Flavors: What we thinkEveryone’s going to be a bit different. If you’re switching from drinking water to Cirkul, start with the flavor setting on 1 or 2. If you’re switching from soda, you may need to bump up the flavor dial (literally). I typically keep the flavor dial set at about 3 or 4, depending upon the flavor. Putting the flavor level too high tastes terrible, in my opinion. It’s just too much flavor for my tastes. But keeping it at a level 3 or 4 intensity is good to keep drinking water and stay hydrated. We liked all of the flavors we tried. We didn’t test any of the coffee flavor sips, since we thought that would be odd. We tried mostly the LifeSips (simply vitamins + flavor) and FitSips (flavor + electrolytes for the times we needed to be more hydrated). My favorite flavors were the fruit flavors: Peach Mango and Strawberry Kiwi. Cirkul Review: What we didn’t loveThe biggest thing we didn’t like about the Cirkle Water Bottle is just how you really have to “sip” the water out. It doesn’t come out on its own (probably due to the one-way flavor design), but you really have to suck on the water out of the Cirkul lid to get the water out. I tend to prefer drinking water as quickly as I can, so, this actually slowed me down a bit. The tradeoff is that the water bottle stays clean, which is worth it for me. It’s also a little noisy when you drink from the Cirkul Water Bottle. Not a huge deal killer: but I have to put Zoom on mute when I drink Cirkul and on a video call. Cirkul + Sodastream: do they mix?The other thing is pretty small. I do use a Sodastream from time to time (yes, I put my Mio right in the bottle) because I do like sparkling water. Cirkul says that it can be used with sparkling water, there’s nothing wrong with it, however, sometimes this caused overflowing in my Cirkul lid when using it. Not a huge deal, but something to consider. How long does each Cirkul flavor cartridge last?Each Cirkul flavor cartridge, AKA “sip,” lasts about 6 full water bottles or 132 ounces. I found that to be pretty accurate – got about 7 or 8 when I put the flavor intensity to a level 3. Cirkul: How much does it cost?Like so many things this day, it all comes down to money, right? Cirkul will try and get you on a subscription – which may be a way to help you drink more water. If you’re paying for something, you may be more likely to use it (and stay hydrated), right? First of all, you can get started for free (just pay shipping) by using our special link here. If you don’t want to start small, you can buy 16 cartridges for $49 (they’ll include a water bottle and everything you need to get started). It costs about 50 cents for each water bottle fill up. You can buy more cartridges and get them cheaper. You can also put it on a lower flavor setting to save even more The Subscription ModelThe company does offer a subscription model to help you get stocked. Some people hate this, some love it. I get it. The plans range from 8 cartridges for $27 to 32 cartridges for $82 a month – 32 cartridges is a lot! Do you have to buy a subscription?No, you don’t. However, on the smallest plan (8 Sips for $27), the cartridges are $3.375/piece. You can buy individual cartridges for $3.75/piece. You save about 40 cents by getting a subscription, but I understand not wanting to get a subscription either. We haven’t had to alter our subscription yet, but you can simply email Cirkul’s good customer service people and they will set you up! Cirkul vs. Mio – Which one is cheaper?This is a little more difficult, since there are so many variables (what flavor intensity level do you use, how much do you pay for each flavor cartridge and how much Mio do you REALLY use?). But looking at the numbers provided by both Mio and Cirkul, here’s what I was able to deduce: Mio is about $0.35 cents per 22 ounces. Cirkul is about $.50 cents per 22 ounces. Once again you can save some money by buying more cartridges, using less Mio or a lower flavor setting. Is Cirkul Worth it? The final verdict in our Cirkul ReviewThe Cirkul water bottle is a great way to encourage yourself to drink more water. I love that the flavors are good and it’s easy to carry around.

The Bad
It’s always surprising that people will pay $5 for a frappuccino, which is terrible for you, but won’t spend the same amount for water that is much healthier.

Can you reuse Cirkul cartridges?No, you can not reuse the Cirkul cartridges. They are one-time use only and good for a varying length of time based on your flavor setting. Once the flavor is gone from a Cirkul SIP flavor it's time to recycle it and replace it with a new cartridge.
