Learn how to get the most from your waterdrop APPLE Edition Glass bottle—from first use to daily flavor infusion tips.

Quick answer

Use the APPLE Edition Glass as your go-to bottle for infusing water with waterdrop Microdrinks. Its durable borosilicate glass keeps flavors pure and your drink fresh all day.

Why borosilicate glass improves flavor

Unlike plastic or metal, borosilicate glass is non-porous and doesn't retain odors or flavors from previous drinks. This means your waterdrop Microdrink tastes exactly as intended—no metallic aftertaste or residual tea notes. The APPLE Edition Glass uses robust borosilicate glass that withstands daily use while keeping your water clean and crisp.

When to choose glass over other materials

If you prioritize taste purity and want to see the color of your infused water, the APPLE Edition Glass is ideal. It's heavier than stainless steel bottles, so it's best for desk use, short trips, or home hydration. For rugged outdoor adventures or long commutes, a stainless steel bottle might be more practical.

How to use your APPLE Edition Glass for flavorful hydration

1. Clean before first use: Wash the bottle and cap with warm soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and let air dry. Avoid abrasive sponges to protect the glass surface. A clean bottle prevents any manufacturing residue from affecting your first drink's flavor.
2. Choose your Microdrink flavor: Drop one waterdrop Microdrink cube into the empty bottle. Popular pairings with the APPLE design include fruity flavors like Berry or Citrus for a refreshing twist. Pairing a complementary flavor with the apple motif makes hydration more enjoyable.
3. Fill with cold or room-temperature water: Pour still or sparkling water over the cube. Avoid boiling water—borosilicate glass is durable but sudden extreme heat can cause breakage. Using cold or lukewarm water protects the glass and helps the cube dissolve evenly.
4. Shake gently and wait: Screw the cap on tightly, give the bottle a gentle shake, and let it sit for 30–60 seconds until the cube fully dissolves. For stronger flavor, wait 2 minutes. Shaking too hard can create excess foam; gentle agitation is enough.
5. Drink and rehydrate throughout the day: Sip directly from the bottle. The wide mouth makes cleaning easy and accommodates ice cubes if you prefer your drink chilled. Rinse the bottle between refills to avoid flavor buildup from residual Microdrink.
