Crystal geyser removed the handles from their bottles sometime ago, which makes it much more difficult to pick them up. Also, all of the bottles we have been receiving lately have been squished down on the top and very difficult to open as well as too poor this is something that should be addressed I love crystal geyser and don't want to have to stop using it.

This and Zephyrhills water both taste clean and refreshing, unlike purified water, tap water, and other water that is not from a spring. Also, these are the only two brands of water that do NOT cause calcification (limescale) to gather inside the reservoir of my Keurig coffee maker.

Not sure why "aftertaste" is listed as a factor-- there is no aftertaste. It is delicious water. I use it for making brewed coffee and also tea. I just discovered Crystal Geyser water as an option. The gallon-size bottle cuts down on plastic waste, and of course I either recycle the bottles or I use them for collecting rainwater, as I have a million house plants. On the downside, they are heavy! Wish they still came with the plastic strap handle, as they used to. Use a funnel for ease in transferring to other vessels and preventing spillage.

I actually purchased 3 types of "bottled" water in the larger containers to see if there was a difference in taste since there was a bit of a difference in price between the 3 different brands. It wasn't even close in taste. The other 2 brands were definitely inferior in taste with either an odd taste to the water or an after-taste to the water where the Crystal Geyser Alpine Spring Water definitely had a much cleaner, fresher with no after-taste, making it a much more of a cleaner, refreshing and enjoyable water. Both of the other brands of water, were good, and acceptable, but not nearly as fresh and clean and enjoyable as the Crystal Geyser Alpine Spring water, which actually surprised me, I won't buy any other brand of bottled water now after that, not even to test out other brands. No need to. Crystal Geyser being superior, hands down, over two other top competing brands, was proof enough for me to only purchase Crystal Geyser in the future!

Great water. Ph Level of this water is on point but I ABSOLUTELY HATE the container it comes in! I workout so I am fairly strong but the container of this product is very heavy and hideous to pour water from because unlike Crystal Springs’ (CS) container, there is no handle to hold to pour this water so I transfer it to a CS container to remedy the issue. Kids, many elderly and disabled people will have a hard time pouring water from this jug.

I've tried many brands of water throughout my life and Crystal Geyser stands out as one of the best. Clean and refreshing with a distinct bottle design, it's always around our household to hydrate, or add to coffee/tea. I feel like they're still trying to determine whether or not to add a handle which I feel like would be beneficial. Those with weaker hands or arm strength may have some difficulty opening and pouring, otherwise, an excellent choice for water.

I love the price, taste clean %26 fresh, due to my health problem spring water would be the best for me %26 Crystal Geyser is my number 1 best.The only thing that worries me is plastic particles because bottled water is all I use for drinking %26 cooking due to the yellowish residue left behind by faucet water in Covington.

No after taste at all. It's refreshing clean, clear water and much better then the water in the white jugs. Your company use to have easy carry tabs which made it easier to handle and carry, the water is very heavy. How about putting the tabs back on for your customers, cheap skates!

Great spring water at a good price. I don’t like that the containers are often crushed at the top, making them really difficult to open. And, the water spills once you can get it open, wasting quite a bit. The convenience of pick up of this product is often a disappointing experience because it is more likely that the bottles will be crushed.

I got these to stock for emergencies and assume sealed they are good for several years of safe storage - I can food nearly every year and in an emergency I probably have enough food for several months (choices might get a little booring but life supporting and edible) I am slowly adding water to the supply
