This Brita bottle is actually a gourd. We can drink only a nozzle, such as a bottle, and not pour water into a glass. Its use would be more hiking or during sport, however sealing is quite low. It therefore does not need too much shoving, otherwise it will leak. Furthermore, the hinge cap looks a little weak, but see the use. Note that the first two fillings are really not pleasant, as with all water filters. It should be flushed prior cartridge. Personally, I use in the office to avoid walking around with bottles of water, and in this use it is perfect.
