It has an electropolished interior and does not rely on a coating or liner for safety. All BPA safety hype aside, I use them exclusively because they do not impart a plastic taste to my water which is great because then I can taste the water the way nature intended. Second, they work well with wine, scotch, and my favorite Kentucky Bourbon, Black Maple Hill. Salud!! Lou-

Try the GSI Outdoors Dukjug.

+ Wide mouth
+ With an insert so you can drink without spilling
+ Cap twists off in about 2/3 turn
+ But stays on very well
+ And has a keeper that won’t let you ever lose the cap
+ And the keeper is repairable
+ Cap threads are outside the lip and plastic, so your lips don’t touch cold metal when drinking and you can actually take it skiing
+ Grippy rubber stuff on the outside so you won’t drop it

I don’t work for them, I’m just very happy with mine.

In other words, if you're into hydration and go everywhere with a water bottle, a stainless one is a good idea, but when it comes to using a hydration bladder such as Camelback, I don't worry about the plastic. Besides, this whole thing is way overblown.

That's why my post title was an attempt at sarcasm, though I do like stainless steel for anything culinary. Kris, I’d agree.
