  • Customer feedback following the launch of the initial Ever Vessel product range identified a demand for a larger capacity water bottle that was simple to use on the go. The team identified that many reusable sports water bottles were either not easily cleaned or were hard to carry. The challenge for the Super Maxi was to design a larger volume bottle that was quick to drink from whilst also being easy to clean and carry.

  • The Super Maxi has a unique Sports Lid which is central to the design solution. A key innovation is the integrated handle which comprises of three components and is adhesive free. The lids handle enables the bottle to be easily carried whether by hand, in a bag or in cup holder. The handle neatly stows away in keeping with the minimalist aesthetic of the bottle. The flip lid makes drinking quick and simple. The bottle has a wide mouth and the lid has no internal crevices so they can be easily cleaned by hand or in the dishwasher.

  • The first production of the Super Maxi went on sale in November 2023. It was well received by customers and sold out in only a few months. Feedback on the design has been very positive and return customers are eager to secure additional bottles once stock is replenished. Each of these products is designed to be reused for many years and by offering a more convenient drinking solution the Super Maxi will continue to support the global movement away from single-use plastic bottles.

  • Whilst many Australian households use a dishwasher regularly, most water bottles are not dishwasher safe and aren’t designed to facilitate safe, reliable dishwashing. The design of the sports flip lid has eliminated difficult to clean crevices. The Super Maxi is in keeping with Ever Vessel’s core promise to sell only easily cleaned and dishwasher safe products. Gym shaker bottles for pre and post workout drinks are common in Australia. The Super Maxi product can be used as gym shaker bottle with the addition of an optional whisk ball accessory, further increasing the functionality of the bottle. The bottle is double wall vacuum insulated keeping liquids cool for up to 24 hours.
