Tap Water Bottle

Most of us know that water is good for us. But that good can sometimes be canceled out when using the wrong container to hold it in. With the growing concern over bisphenol-a, or BPA in plastic bottles many people have been looking for alternatives to hold their favorite drink. In comes the Tap Water Bottle. Sure, it’s nothing more than a glass bottle, but it is safe for you and functional at the same time. The flip cap makes loosing or dropping caps a thing of the past.

“It’s always best to store water in glass containers. Water is the universal solvent. It dissolves some part of everything it contacts. When water is stored in plastic containers, it takes on some of the chemicals the plastic is made from. Water stored in glass containers tastes better and looks better. Glass is better for you, and better for our planet. You can see what you’re drinking. …and the flip cap provides a superior seal that won’t get lost.”

Buy the Tap Water Bottle from Tap Water Bottle for $10.

Brew Nerds Coffee

Brew Nerds Coffee is small independent coffee shop (aren’t those the best kind) based out of Winston-Salem, North Carolina. They’ve got just two locations but despite this they have been the talk of the town because of their nerdy (and very cool) paper cups and coffee packaging. And in case you were wondering, the packaging was designed by American based design firm, Mitre Agency.

“At Brew Nerds, you can order coffee in 340ml, 450ml and 570ml sizes. The thermal protection device is free. So is the sucrose – or E955, if you prefer.”

If you’ve tried the coffee from Brew Nerds let us know what you thought of it!

Brooklyn Fare Cups

So these disposable cups have been making the blog rounds and I thought they were definitely worth a mention here at Call Me Thirsty. I absolutely adore these. They make me want to fly from Hawaii to Brooklyn just so I could order a drink from Brooklyn Fare in one of these splendid cups.

“We started Brooklyn Fare with three simple things in mind:

Good foods at great prices offered up with outstanding service.

Our goal is to be a centerpiece of the Brooklyn community. A place to hangout with the Sunday paper, a cappuccino and a freshly baked croissant. A place to learn clever cooking techniques from some of New York’s best chefs. A place you and your family will come back to again and again for gourmet groceries, delicious prepared meals and more.

We offer the sort of service that’ll make you smile, which will make us smile. Which will probably make you smile even more. It’s a vicious cycle.

We are on the corner of Hoyt and Schermerhorn, just across the street from an A,C,G stop and just a short walk from Cobble Hill, Park Slope, Carroll Gardens and Brooklyn Heights. So no matter what corner you live on, we hope you’ll visit ours.”
