Kor Delta 500

Remember my Kor Delta 500ml water bottle? I bring my own water everyday instead of buying bottled water and adding to the garbage problem. Whenever I’m stuck without my water “baon” but dying of thirst and have to end up buying a disposable bottle of water, I feel really guilty. So as much as possible, I bring my own water. I’ve been doing this for many years.

Robert Downey Jr as Ironman and David Beckham both with the Kor One.

I wasn’t really picky with my water bottle. I had used an insulated thermos and it served me well. But all that changed when I discovered Kor through samples sent by The Purple Tag. I became very appreciative of design and function. It started with the Kor One (P1,700) which David Beckham and Ironman both used. It was a very good looking bottle. And it had all those environmental message gimmicks in its bottle cap. The smooth spout was the one that got me sold.

Then the Kor Delta (P1,350) came out which was similar to Kor One, but had a slanted handle and a lock. It came in a smaller 500ml size. I loved it. This is what I use. It feels good to hold it and feels even more comfortable to drink from it. So smooth! This is the one in the photo above.

Now they came up with another version. One that’s more affordable, but equally beautiful in design and function.

KOR Aura

The new KOR Aura® Hydration Vessel is a simple and sleek reusable bottle that puts the spotlight on water. Aura features a tapered, obelisk profile and delivers incredible ergonomics with KOR’s patent-pending Perfect Spout™ and hallmark spoiler handle. Made from BPA-free Eastman Tritan™, the Aura marks the fourth salvo in KOR’s design-centric hydration line.
“We love a challenge,” says KOR Water CEO and Co-Founder, J. Eric Barnes. “While our KOR ONE and KOR Delta sought to deliver sophisticated features in a high-end vessel, we wanted to bring understated elegance to a mid-priced reusable bottle that didn’t look so utilitarian. The Aura has an illuminating personality with simple elegance.” — Source: Press Kit

The Aura stands to appeal to every age and gender. Its two-toned cap provides a comfortable carrying handle while serving to completely protect the bottle’s spout from outside germs and dirt – a feature found on every KOR vessel. — Source: Press Kit
