This product is quite fascinating because you can filter water with a much better yield than with traditional cartridges. On the other hand, filtration takes longer (3 hours recommended!) and the rod must be boiled before using it. I still recommend this product, for example when using a water bottle.

Here are 6 big sticks of binchotan charcoal (produced from Japanese holm oaks) which allow to purify water in a carafe: to soften it and to remove its bad taste (when it smells like chlorine in particular) and to add beneficial minerals. A completely magical side! And yet it has been practiced by the Japanese for centuries? The use is simple, but requires some anticipation: start by boiling for 10 minutes the stick(s) you are going to use, then fill the carafe with water, dip a stick in it and leave it there for at least 4 hours, ideally 8 hours, all night for example. In fact, the longer you wait, the more the stick has produced its effect, and the better you feel the difference? It is therefore a question of organization: you should always have a full carafe in advance, the ideal being to have two or three carafes of about one liter... Every month, it is recommended to boil the sticks for 10 minutes so that they release the accumulated impurities. And then they are ready to be used again? After 6 months, you can put the sticks in the green plants, or use them to absorb odors in the fridge? This is a more ecological way than using Brita filters, and more economical too. Personally I do both in parallel, because with the Brita carafe you can drink the water faster. In an apartment, you don't necessarily have the space to put carafes everywhere, nor the head to count the number of hours reached for each one)? As for the origin, you have to be careful with the binchotan charcoal sticks, because their origins are sometimes doubtful. The Japanese holm oak, ubamegashi, is a very dense and fibrous wood. Once transformed into binchotan (90% carbon), it is heavy and sinks in the glass.the traditional binchotan comes from the kishu region.on Orinko's website a page is dedicated to the authenticity of their kishu binchotan (and they only sell this one)! and here Orinko offers us a Tosa binchotan (which apparently is not on their website).how to know if it is healthy and free of radioactivity? This is the only point that bothers me! But Orinko is an Alsatian company of which I have already tried a certain number of products (among which the delicious Siwak sticks) which seems to me quite serious, and is moreover committed to the environment! Not being a specialist, I trust them. But I thought it was important to address this point.

I used to use a Brita coffee maker, but the cartridges are particularly expensive.I've been wanting to try activated carbon for a long time. The bamboo can be used for 1 month, provided that it is boiled once again halfway through the process.After one hour, the first effects are present and completely effective after 4 hours.My son loves the taste of this filtered water.I am also conquered, the waste is much less than with the Brita (plastic refills) and recycled.It's great.

Very satisfied, I boiled them 10 m before using them in a carafe with tap water incredible it looks like spring water. Impeccable in the tank of Nespresso coffee machine the water and the tank remains clear without limestone. I test it in a fruit bowl to keep the freshness to see. I will recommend it without hesitation.

They work very well! Tired of buying cartridges for water filtering carafes for several reasons (price, recycling, plastic material, obligation to buy the model corresponding to the brand, bacterial proliferation, etc.), I bought these ceramic beads as well as a 1.5L glass carafe.The result is identical to the taste of filter cartridges: no aftertaste of tap water! You can also put it in the coffee maker, kettle, washing machine, dishwasher, toilet tank etc. Reduces limescale, easy maintenance and lasts 10 years, what savings!

Easy to put in place, the bamboo stick breaks quite easily in the carafe but it is not too annoying. The water is much more pleasant to the taste and does not have the disadvantage of making us swallow plastic particles like bottled water.

No more plastic bottles! Tap water becomes pleasant to drink and has a more neutral taste... no more taste and limescale sensation! It is necessary to wait 8 hours for it to be effective but by alternating with 2 carafes, it is perfect! A little constraining with the use that makes it possible to abolish the plastic bottles and it is a real benefit for the planet...

6 pieces of charcoal, they look like pieces of charred branchesI wanted to try it without really believing it... I took the 1st piece and boiled it for 10 minutes. The water came out clear black. But, unluckily, the selected stick did not pass the neck of the bottle... So I repeated the operation with another stick. The stick is plunged in my water bottle, the water remains clear and limpid. I would like to point out that until now we bought bottled water, as our tap water had a taste (8 years of buying bottles, 8L bottles...).In March, at the time of the confinement, we changed our consumption. We tried tap water, several attempts to remove this unpleasant taste and put the water in the fridge for more than 8 hours and drink it fresh as soon as it returns to room temperature the taste returns.So, a water at room temperature without any taste, just with a stick of activated carbon, I sign. Less bottled water in the fridge, at the economic level, I don't even talk about it. And my spouse, who didn't want to hear about this "Chinese thing", let himself be tempted by its efficiency. This comment is probably too long, but give it a try, you'll understand.

The charcoal sticks are individually wrapped in tissue paper and are small in size, but large, so they don't necessarily fit in a glass bottle. It is easy to use and well explained on the packaging. The carbon stick is active for 6 months and I had read that it was advisable to boil it from time to time, it has a filter life of about 6 months. Afterwards, to recycle it, you have to put it in the soil (it's a good fertilizer).a natural filter. It absorbs the taste that water can have.

After boiling it as instructed for 10 minutes, I compared it after several hours to the taste of tap water which doesn't have much. The difference is very slight and I would have a hard time recommending these coals to purify water.

I bought this product because it is small, easy to place in small bottle or carafe of one liter, having a very hard water, I sought a natural solution to filtered and cleaned my water u tap before using it for hot drink, these small sticks really do their job and when I drink a tea there is no more small deposits on the surface of water, the carbon does not leave bad taste, or taste to water. I think that I would not hesitate to repurchase some when those will not make any more their role because I am very surprised by so much effectiveness and the fact that it does not leave any taste with water

Product conforms to the expectations. A small advice however, before use it is necessary to pierce the tube so that the water circulates normally inside and also to avoid that the tube floats, which harms the effectiveness.

I have been using these filtering coals since the beginning of the school year and I am very happy with them. I have compared several variants, always from Orinko, and what changes is only the geographical origin of the coals. The purification qualities remain the same and are comparable to what can be obtained with the Brita decanters. Contrary to what we sometimes read, the coals are not remineralizing at all. My husband can analyze the water in a laboratory and it comes out identical in terms of minerals). According to the origins, the charcoals are more or less fine and can thus better correspond to your containers.Initially one activates the charcoals by making them boil in a pan during 10minutes, process to be renewed each month.One plunges then the charcoal in the water to be filtered (25g by 500ml of water approximately) and one leaves it between 4 and 8h. Between two uses it is necessary to let it dry, which is done very quickly. It is not recommended to leave it in the water for more than 24 hours in a row, the water does not take any additional taste but it is rounder in the mouth. The only disadvantage is that you have to wait and therefore know how to anticipate and prepare your water the day before for the next day. At the end of the 6 months the charcoal is compostable.

I was able to test the Binchotan coals: superior filtration to ceramic beads, the taste is better. The disadvantage is that you have to activate it and the filtration time is long.
