as a person that works outside i need to be hydrated 24/7 on top of the 40 pound rucksack and the countless canteens water gets to be quite boring. cirkul has helped me drink even more and actually be exited to drink water. the packages can come broken i lost 2 flavors out of 5 i had ordered due to the small canister being broken from either rough handling or not fully sealed at the manufacture. other than that great price and great flavors

Pros:

multiple flavors healthy and great to use

Cons:

cartridges come broken and small hassle with customer service

Their customer service is non-existent. They have canned responses and never actually read what you send them. As long as they have your money, that’s all that matters.

I was skeptical about Cirkul at first because I've had bad experiences ordering things from Facebook/Instagram but I'm so happy I tried it. I really like that you're able to increase and decrease the flavor every time you drink if you want and I love that you can turn the flavor off and just drink plain water. For the people that complain about cost I thought the same thing in the beginning until I looked at my bank account. I would spend $4-$10 a day on beverages between sodas, teas and Starbucks, I get 16 cartridges a month for $49 so I'm saving way more than I was before. Since I've cut out soda completely I feel like I can dial down the flavor so they end up lasting longer. I'm glad they don't accept returned product. I don't want them sending me stuff that's been in the mail back and forth multiple times. It is a subscription service which I actually really enjoy. I forgot to change my flavors one month and the customer service guy was able to fix it for me. I've been using it for about 5 months and don't plan on stopping any time soon. One request -PLEASE get the metal bottles back. I like the sleeves but I definitely want a metal bottle :)

Pros:

easy to hydrate on the go, cheaper than buying bottled beverages daily

Cons:

none really just still waiting for the metal bottle to be back in stock

I've been trying to find ways to get myself to drink more water, and Cirkul helped instantly! I normally struggle to drink 1 bottle of water per day, and I drank 3 the first day it arrived! Plus, that has stayed consistent so far! I like the dial, because I can choose the sweetness for my mood; no more carrying 3 half-full beverages around! I do occasionally run into leaking, but it is usually because I didn't fully clear out the nozzle from my last drink. It is a little frustrating. This may be a plan for the future, but I would really like if the Sips and lids came in different colors, particularly black, because my lipstick gets all over the nozzle, and it just jumps out on the white. I am still trying to stop the squeaks! I'm hoping it's first trip through the dishwasher will help, but my dog loves the sound haha! I am a little concerned about the price over time, however, I have tried flavor powders, and they always go to waste, because I just can't make myself remember to use them. So I'm hopeful that the convenience will outweigh the price difference. And a $5 starter pack!? Great idea! That is what got me!

You lost me at the cost of the cartridges unfortunately. Based on your own diagram powdered additives are much cheaper. I just can't see myself paying $2+ for water flavoring, and I don't personally care about if the additives are 'artificial'.

@zackbloom Totally hear you Zack, but I just wanted to mention that a cartridge is good for four fully flavored bottles of your selected beverage. If you choose to flavor on a lighter setting it'd be good for closer to six 22oz bottles. We think that Cirkul bridges the gap between powdered flavorings and one size fits all beverage options. Plus, with Cirkul you get to meter the taste from pure water to extreme flavor, since the cartridges prevent any mixing within the bottle - this is what set us apart a bit from powders and liquid flavors.

@garrett_waggoner I would 100% make that easier to see on the product page (that I can get 4-6 bottles from it). I'm not sure why your table is comparing 4-6x of you with 1x of your competitors.

@zackbloom That's a great call out - really appreciate you pointing out that ambiguity, I can totally see that now. Sometimes you get a bit too close to the product and miss the big picture ha. Thanks again!

Smart move with the flavor cartridges. Rich for brand partnerships - like a portable, healthier SodaStream! 💰💡🚀

@worldli thanks Nick! You're exactly right, we see Cirkul as a delivery system, hopefully we can work with some great partners to deliver their blends in a custom and convenient way!

This Company is Bad Business. They attempted to charge my card 5 times for 8 new cartridges and then succeeded. ordered my flavors for me and wouldn’t respond to my emails..After they shipped two days later they say sorry no refunds once shipped..I would not recommend..

Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

It tastes like diet water and the flavor is gross

@andrea_petersen I agree. Plus almost all the flavors have more caffeine that a can of wild cherry Pepsi. I will stick with my 4 bottles of plain water and 2 cans of soda a day. This was a waste of money.

Review Cirkul?

Reviewers like the idea more than the execution. Many say Cirkul helps them drink more water, with adjustable flavor and a few well-liked fruit flavors, especially for replacing soda. But the most common complaints are hard to ignore: cartridges often run out far faster than expected, flavors can taste artificial or inconsistent, and bottles may leak, make loud slurping noises, or be hard to drink from. Customer service, shipping, packaging, and autoship billing draw repeated criticism, leaving many users feeling the system is overpriced and unreliable.
