Product description of the manufacturer
KIVY is a young, design-orientated company with the aim of developing sustainable products for modern households that are also suitable for everyday use. The focus is on high-quality materials, functional design and a clear commitment to environmental compatibility. KIVY products combine aesthetic simplicity with practical solutions that are characterised by durability, user-friendliness and well thought-out details. The brand is aimed at people with a conscious lifestyle who want to harmonise style, functionality and responsibility. In our test, the 1 litre drinking bottle from KIVY impressed us with its complete leak-tightness, even with carbonated drinks and strong movement, as well as its stable, break-proof Tritan construction. It is tasteless, ergonomically shaped and easy to handle. The dishwasher-safe cleaning and the removable carrying strap increase everyday convenience.
The attractive, sustainable packaging, which is ideal for giving as a gift, should also be emphasised.
The somewhat weak insulation performance is the only point of criticism worth mentioning, but this is relativised by the overall high product quality.
The KIVY drinking bottle is a stylish, everyday solution for anyone looking for a reliable, environmentally conscious and versatile water bottle.

Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be guaranteed. Are the contents of the packaging complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?

The 1 litre drinking bottle from KIVY impresses with its sturdy cardboard packaging, which provides adequate protection for the product. Unnecessary packaging waste has been deliberately avoided. The contents of the pack are complete and meet expectations. The instructions for use are written in German, clearly understandable and almost superfluous due to the ease of use of the product. Overall, the packaging makes a well thought-out and sustainability-oriented impression, with the first steps towards environmental protection already recognisable. The drinking bottle itself has a high-quality appearance and the packaging concept is functional and reduced to the essentials. The product conveys consumer proximity and a modern sense of responsibility towards resources.

*Themaximum score is 100 points
The 1 litre drinking bottle from KIVY proved to be completely leak-proof in the test – even when the bottle was held upside down and shaken intensively, no water escaped. The ease of cleaning is also excellent: all components can be cleaned effortlessly, leaving no residue or stains behind. The bottle is also dishwasher-safe, which further minimises the cleaning effort. In terms of ergonomics and handling, the product impresses with its excellent balance and sits comfortably in the hand. The temperature resistance, on the other hand, could be improved – the water loses its original temperature relatively quickly, which indicates a weaker insulating performance. On a positive note, it is absolutely neutral in taste, which does not spoil the drinking experience.
