Love this fabulous water. I know that 'water is water' however this water is uniquely wonderful. My shed is littered with dozens and dozens of their plastic bottles, proving my dedication to CGs fabulous product. I won't drink anything else. Except ginger ale, and in small amounts. The good people of Olancha will thank you.

The taste of the water is ok but not even close to as good as the walmart brand of spring water. I'm an eighty two year old man and the shape of the water bottle, and the fact that it doesn't have any way to hold on to it.Makes it almost impossible to use. They used to have a strap on the top so you could at least hold on to that while you pour it but now that is gone. This was delivered to me as a substitute and I would never get it again. I would rather pay more for a bottle of water that has a handle on it from Walgreens or some other store.

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.

I purchased multiple gallons of this water to use in my electric teapot. The first cup tasted fine. However, I realized when I went back to boil the water again there a film on top of the water which I found odd. I emptied the pot and washed it clean, as I was washing it out of felt gritty. I filled it back up after ensuring the pot was spotless and had another cup - no problem. However the next day the film was back. I again washed it out and utilized another bottle thinking it may have just been that one bottle - sadly it was not. I am unsure what is in this water but the film it creates is certainly not anything I want in my body. I will utilize the remainder to feed the plants.

Crystal Geyser is the purest spring water I've ever had. It's not just the taste. What convinced me that Crystal Geyser is the purest is the fact that it's the only spring water that does not leave minerals in my kettle after boiling it. Other spring waters leave minerals behind that force me to empty the pot and refill it with tap water and a small amount of vinegar to get the glass kettle clean again. With Crystal Geyser I can keep refilling the pot without having to empty the leftover water. No waste and no trouble, and I feel good about the water I am drinking.

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.

When ordering home delivery some bottles often come with tops crushed down. Those are hard to open and spill when pouring. These would not be sold in the store and shouldn't be sent to Walmart home delivery customers. Price is similar to other stores and should be more competitive.

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!

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.

Crystal Geyser Alpine Spring Water is tea ya’ll. This alpine spring water has a great taste, provides great value for your money and better hydrates your body. The only downside is that this water is sold in plastic bottles which is unfortunate. The Mountain Valley water is still the best available but this is a close second. Nonetheless, I would recommend!
