I am fed up of buying plastic water bottles for work. Can anyone recommend a good water bottle I can fill daily and take to work? The ideal one would be around 750ml, easy to clean, keep water cool and never get smelly. Thank you.

Buy a cyclists one. Wash it in the evening with warm soapy water and use Milton tabs to give it a soak in the kitchen sink occasionally to keep it clean.

my dp is a massive fan of kleen kanteen, they come in a range of sizes/colours, are metal (which i think keeps water fairly cool, although not if you leave it in direct sunlight on the beach!) and have a wider neck than other bottles, so are more like drinking from a glass (although i believe sports tops are also available).

Thanks for the great tips I especially like the look of clean canteen. My DH is a MAMIL and has a great assortment of cycling bottles, but I must admit I'm not to keen on that plastic bottle smell.
When I look at the avalanche of plastic water bottles our 2 offices generate I'm determined to buy a reusable one.

I have two glass ones with a silicone outer skin that I love, one as a screw off lid and one with a fold out straw. This Lakeland one is cute:

Still plastic, but there is an nz made phthalte free job in wilko for £1.50. Blue and green, can't remember the brand.

Not exactly locally sourced I know!
