Test result preview
The Active Flask drinking bottle from bemaxx is a reliable and versatile companion for everyday use and longer trips. The double-walled, vacuum-insulated stainless steel drinking bottle offers a high-quality solution with its three different drinking caps for everyday use, sport and outdoor activities.
With 3 different attachments, the drinking bottle can be quickly converted into a tea or fruit infuser. This means you can enjoy freshly brewed tea or fruit spritzers anywhere without any residue getting into your drink.
The drinking bottle is made of high-quality, brushed 18/8 stainless steel, which does not take on any odour or taste. The FDA and LFGB certifications guarantee that the composition, odour or taste of your drinks will not be affected. All drinking caps are BPA and phthalate-free for your health.
The drinking bottle impresses with its tightness for both carbonated and non-carbonated drinks.
A critical point to note is that, in contrast to the drinking bottle, the caps are made of plastic and not stainless steel.
Advantages
- Keeps drinks hot or cold for a very long time
- FDA and LFGB certifications
- incl. 3 attachments
Disadvantages

The Active Flask drinking bottle from bemaxx was delivered in a neutral cardboard box for our product test. The box was undamaged and could be opened easily without any additional tools. Inside the box was the product carton, which was labelled on all sides with the necessary product information, instructions for use and pictures . The product box was in perfect condition and had an appealing and clear design that immediately conveyed a high-quality impression.
Both the drinking bottle and the 3 attachments were in perfect condition. The attachments were each wrapped in paper, which meant that no unnecessary packaging material was used – a measure that we greatly appreciate in terms of sustainability.

The visual appearance of the Active Flask drinking bottle from bemaxx is very appealing and impresses with its minimalist design. The 3 attachments in particular, especially the bamboo stainless steel cap, make a high-quality impression. The stainless steel tea strainer matches the drinking bottle perfectly and also looks very high quality. Only the plastic straws do not leave a high-quality impression.
The overall finish of the drinking bottle is very good. There is no specific information on the sustainability of the product, but high-quality materials are used that are designed to last. The manufacturer is also a partner of Eden Reforestation Projects, which is a very environmentally conscious gesture and also contributes to the sustainability of the product.

In our practical test, the Active Flask drinking bottle was convincing because the attachments can be screwed on easily and securely. The coffee lid in particular has a good seal and is leak-proof thanks to its tight screw connection and the force required to open it. The stability of all three attachments is convincing, as they hold firmly and stably. All attachments are leak-proof and the bottle was tested in practice with both non-carbonated and carbonated liquids. The scope of delivery also includes 3 replacement seals to support the longevity of the product. The bottle can only be cleaned by hand as it is not dishwasher-safe. It would be advisable to offer a brush cleaner for the straws to make cleaning easier. We were impressed by the insulating properties of the drinking bottle: cold drinks stay cold all day long, while hot drinks remain at a pleasant temperature even after several hours. The drinking bottle can be used in a variety of ways: it is suitable for both hot and cold drinks as well as for infusing tea or adding pieces of fruit. This makes the drinking bottle ideal for everyday use, for example during sport, as well as for outdoor activities. All in all, the Active Flask drinking bottle with its three different attachments offers a high-quality and versatile solution for everyday use.

On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.6 stars. In individual cases, there is criticism that it is perceived as too leaky . On the other hand, the elegant and functional design as well as the high quality are emphasised positively. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the elegant and functional design of the drinking bottle is well received by customers. However, consumer criticism of the bottle’s seal was not justified.
Prices of up to €31.99 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very affordable products are available from as little as €17.99 .The Active Flask drinking bottle from bemaxx® is therefore currently in the middle price segment with a price of €24 .99. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
