IF your water is warm by mid-morning during the heatwave, Tefal’s Bludrop insulated water bottle is the fix you need.
The 0.5-litre stainless steel bottle has dropped to under £20 on Amazon, and comes in a range of colours including blue, green, black and coral.
The water bottle comes in four colourways

While it isn’t a dramatic price cut on paper, the Bludrop does offer great value for money when compared to rival insulated designs from Stanley, Ninja and Owala.

Thank you!
For a steel bottle that holds temperature this well £20 is a fair bit of bottle for the money.
Tefal says it keeps cold drinks cool for up to 24 hours and hot drinks warm for up to 12 hours, which, in real terms, means ice that’s still there at the end of a long, sweaty commute.

One reviewer put that claim to the test and found you could “still rattle the ice cubes 12 h later”, which is a detail that matters a lot during a heatwave.
The lid is the part people tend to mention first.
A quick-press 360° button lets you open and drink one-handed, without unscrewing anything, which is genuinely useful if you’re driving, pushing a buggy or halfway up a hill.
Reviewers praise the matte powder-coated finish and the build, with several calling it one of the sturdiest bottles they’ve owned.
It picked up a German Design Award back in 2022, for whatever that’s worth to you at the checkout.
It’s also dishwasher safe, so easy to clean

Not everyone is sold on the lid, though. One three-star reviewer found the push-button top fiddly to take apart for cleaning.
The reviewer also noted that the drinking spout sits exposed inside your bag unless you’re careful, which is worth knowing if hygiene is a priority.
If you want a low-cost, hard-wearing bottle that keeps a cold drink genuinely cold through a hot day, though, I’d say the Tefal Bludrop is an easy one to justify at this price.
