How does a water bottle with an infuser cap work?
An infuser cap allows you to transform a simple reusable gourd into an infusion bottle. For this, the cap is extended by a central infuser, also called infusion chamber. This removable compartment can accommodate a stick of charcoal to purify water, but also loose tea and infusion mixes or even pieces of fresh fruit, vegetables and/or aromatic herbs.
The infusion filter is designed with a fine mesh that traps fine leaf scraps and fruit while allowing aromas, vitamins and minerals to pass through for a tasty and nutritious drink. The system for attaching the infuser basket to the cap is simple and quick, so that it is possible to infuse for just a few minutes or to leave it in place for several hours or even a whole day.
The water bottle remains perfectly waterproof and transportable. The infuser cap is even compatible with insulated models, allowing you to prepare hot or cold drinks.
Why opt for an infusion bottle?
The human body is largely made up of water. This is why ensuring proper hydration is essential. But faced with sugary drinks, industrial sodas and other artificial flavors, plain water often seems very bland. A bottle fitted with an infuser cap re-enchants the taste of water with delicate flavors of fruit (strawberries, lemon) or herbal teas (mint). A healthy drink to meet the recommendations of 8 glasses a day, or about 1.5 liters.
It is a concept that combines the advantages of a nomadic teapot and an insulated water bottle . Easy to use and clean, the infuser cap is a versatile and eco-friendly accessory . Thanks to him, you no longer need to buy flavored drinks or iced teas in disposable plastic bottles, it is easy to make them yourself. An eco-responsible daily gesture that significantly reduces waste and pollution linked to single-use containers.
Washable and reusable, it is a utensil that allows you to infuse different preparations every day to vary the taste of tap water. Note that this is on average 100 to 300 times less expensive than bottled water. The purchase of a reusable bottle and its infuser cap is therefore quickly profitable and proves to be economical in the long term, especially in a context where water fountains are multiplying under the effect of the AGEC law.
How to choose an infuser cap?
The different materials of the infusers
There are different models of infusion bottle: plastic, stainless steel, glass… As far as the materials of the infuser basket are concerned, it is mainly reusable plastic or stainless steel.
The plastic is light and transparent. It offers a pleasant visual appearance, especially for fruit-flavoured waters. However, it is likely to contain Bisphenol A or other endocrine disruptors, which can migrate into the water on prolonged contact. On the other hand, the plastic infuser is not necessarily suitable for hot drinks.
Stainless steel, on the other hand, does not transfer any chemical substances into liquids. It is completely healthy and hygienic. Stainless steel withstands heat very well and retains neither the taste nor the color of the tea that has infused in it.
Capacity and use
The length of the infuser basket, also called the infusion chamber, is to be adapted according to the capacity of the bottle, which can itself vary from 260 ml to 2 litres. The bigger the bottle , the bigger the filter can be. But it is not necessarily necessary to have a long infuser cap for a short infusion. On the other hand, for permanent fruit flavoring, a large infusion chamber ensures a constant diffusion of flavors in the water.
For use as a water purifier, the infuser cap must be compatible with the size and diameter of your charcoal sticks.
Finally, it is advisable to dwell on the mesh of the filter: fine or wide. The needs are indeed different for fruits or vegetables and tea or herbal infusions.
Additional accessories
Some infuser baskets screw onto the cap, others clip on. In addition to these features, other details provide comfort for everyday use. This is the case, for example, of the transport boxes for the infuser or the unscrewable bottom option which facilitates cleaning.
