Hydration is a critical part of staying healthy. But often, we aren’t drinking enough to meet our daily goals. Regular water gets the job done, but sometimes, the taste can leave you wanting more. And on busy days, it can be almost impossible to remember to stop what you’re doing and drink. The solution? Infuser water bottles.
“Infuser water bottles are a great way to increase your fluid intake. By making water taste more appealing, you’re more likely to drink at regular intervals throughout the day,” Sarah Glinski, RD, says. When looking for an infuser water bottle, consider when you’ll use it, how much water it can hold, and the quality of the infuser.

How We Selected the Best Infuser Water Bottles
To choose the best infuser water bottles, we first spoke with Sarah Glinski, RD, a registered dietician, and David Rosales, an NSCA-certified personal trainer. They shared their advice on the benefits of using an infuser water bottle, how to care for and clean an infuser water bottle, and how to choose a bottle that’s made from high-quality materials.
Final Verdict
Hydracy’s Large Infuser Water Bottle is our top pick for its flip top and straw top lids and motivational timeline. The included neoprene sleeve prevents a buildup of condensation, making it great for the gym, outdoors, or everyday use. For a budget-friendly option, we recommend Opard’s Sports Water Bottle. We love that this easy-to-carry bottle comes with a dust cap, which keeps your beverage of choice protected and prevents spills.
Next, we researched dozens of different infuser water bottles from the most trusted brands and picked the best products based on versatility and value. We also considered design, color, materials, and the type of lid.
What to Look for in an Infuser Water Bottle
Use
When shopping for an infuser water bottle, consider how you’ll use it. If you want a bottle for one-handed hydration during exercise, select one with easy access or a straw that can be opened with the touch of a button.
If you want a bottle for everyday use, like to keep at your desk or to carry with you throughout the day, think about the size, weight, and additional features. A carrying strap can make it easier to bring the bottle on the go with you. And a removable infuser can make the water bottle more versatile, depending on your hydration needs.
Type
Infuser water bottles are made from a variety of materials, including glass, stainless steel, and plastic. If you want a lightweight option, select a BPA-free plastic. If you prefer a bottle that doesn’t hold onto the flavors from the infuser, consider a glass bottle. Stainless steel is another durable, non-plastic option that’s easy to clean.
Price
The price point for infuser water bottles varies. If you’re going to use it daily, investing in a high-quality, durable, reusable water bottle that you enjoy drinking from may encourage you to drink more in the long run. But if you prefer one that can be easily replaced if it breaks, you may want to choose a more budget-friendly bottle.
Size
The capacity of infuser water bottles can vary, so it’s important to find the size that’s right for you. If you’re able to easily refill the water bottle throughout the day, like in an office or at home, consider a smaller capacity. This will also make it lighter and easy to carry around. However, if you prefer to use your water bottle outdoors or at the gym, you might need a larger one.
Infuser Quality
Some infuser water bottles are top-loading (the fruit is at the top of the bottle) and some are bottom-loading (the fruit is at the bottom of the bottle). Depending on how much fruit you use, bottom-loading bottles usually give water a stronger taste because the fruit is always submerged. Either way, “choose a bottle with a longer infuser, as this allows the flavor to be evenly distributed into the water,” Glinski says.
Care Instructions
Some infuser water bottles are meant to be hand washed, while others are dishwasher safe. Take a look at the water bottle’s care instructions to see how to wash the bottle and infuser properly.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is infused water good for you?
- Adequate hydration can improve many bodily functions and may help boost your focus and weight management. Infused water is a healthy and delicious way to stay hydrated. Vitamins and minerals from fruits, vegetables, and herbs can infuse into the water, increasing your water’s health benefits. “By drinking water with fruit infused in [it] before, during, and after exercising, you’ll make sure you’re consuming those important electrolytes,” David Rosales, NSCA-certified personal trainer, and head trainer at Roman Fitness Systems, says. And the taste can help you drink more water throughout the day, helping you avoid the symptoms of dehydration.
- How do you clean an infuser water bottle?
- Some infuser water bottles are hand-wash only and require you to remove the infuser from the water bottle before cleaning. Others are easier to clean and are dishwasher-safe. Take a look at the water bottle’s care instructions to see how to wash the bottle and infuser properly. “The best way to care for your infuser water bottle is to clean it within a few hours of use. Once the fruit has served its job, clean the bottle,” Rosales says.
- Is it okay to drink infused water every day?
- Generally, it’s fine to drink infused water every day. But drinking large quantities of fruit-infused water can have some health risks. For example, consuming high quantities of citrus fruits can wear away your tooth enamel over time. Consider switching up the fruits, vegetables, and herbs you add to your water from time to time.
- Can you leave fruit-infused water overnight?
- Yes, in a tightly-covered container in your refrigerator. Usually, fruit-infused water can last up to six days if kept this way. However, it can have a bitter taste when left for too long, so we recommend changing it more often.
