We’ve all been there: you run out of the car for a second, accidentally leaving your coffee in the cup-holder. When you return, your coffee is lukewarm, and your spirits are crushed (coffee is one of the foundations of society, ask anybody). Or even worse, it’s a sweaty summer day, and the only thing getting you through it is your frozen water bottle. Too bad that a twenty minute drive to the beach leaves that frozen water bottle dripping with condensation, and not even cold. These problems are not just your own, but Sarah Kauss’s as well.

Kauss, the founder and CEO of S’well (a company that is rethinking how and what people drink) was going through the same exact issue. Kauss was literally hiking up a mountain (suffering from a too-warm water bottle situation) when the idea for S’well hit her: what if there were an environmentally friendly, sleek, water bottle that kept cold drinks cold and hot drinks hot (for longer than a couple of hours)? And just like that, the S’well bottle was born.
Says Kauss on the S’well website, “The mission of S’well is to get single-use, disposable beverage containers out of landfills and out of the ocean.” Created from non-toxic 18/8 stainless steel (unlike most beverage containers, which are composed of plastic-lined aluminum), the S’well bottle keeps cold “drinks cold for 24 hours and hot for 12, while giving back to those in need. S’well is a charitable community member and proud partner of charitable organizations such as WaterAid, American Forests, and Drink Up,” says the S’well site. Each S’well bottle, on average, will save the environment approximately 3,000 plastic bottles, according to S’well.com.

The overwhelming popularity (the First Lady is a big fan) of the S’well bottle has led to multiple sizes, colors, and even finishes (from glitter, to matte, to limited edition designs, like a mustachioed one for No Shave November)—making the S’well bottle the ideal choice for everyone.
Currently the S’well bottle is sold in the U.S., Canada, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, South America, the Middle East, and Asia—meaning that it’s actually changing the world, one bottle at a time.
