Drinking water from a ALFA1 Stainless Steel Canteen can offer several health benefits compared to other materials like plastic or aluminum:
- Safe Material : Stainless steel material is considered by USFDA safe for food and beverage consumption. It doesn’t leach harmful chemicals into the water, unlike some plastics which may contain BPA or other toxins.

- No Metallic Taste : High-quality stainless steel ALFA1 Canteen is made with USFDA materials that don’t impart a metallic taste to the water. This ensures a clean, healthy and refreshing taste with each sip.
- Easy to Clean : ALFA1 Canteen is manufactured with USFDA Stainless steel materials that are easy to clean and maintain. They can withstand high temperatures, making them suitable for dishwasher cleaning. This reduces the risk of bacterial growth and ensures the bottle remains hygienic.
- No Risk of Chemical Contamination : Unlike some plastic bottles, stainless steel canteen don’t contain harmful chemicals that could leach into the water over time. This eliminates the risk of ingesting potentially harmful substances.
- Non-reactive : Stainless steel USFDA material is non-reactive, meaning it won’t interact with the water or alter its taste. This ensures that the water remains pure and unaffected by the container it’s stored in.

I wish a lid and a stove stand were available for the canteen cup. Otherwise, it’s quite sturdy and unlike the two plastic lid canteens I tried (and returned) before buying this one, it doesn’t leak at all. I’m sure the stainless cap will last forever. I do have a couple of relatively minor complaints: first, the canteen lid can be a little difficult to unscrew, especially when I’m sweaty. However, the lid I got is the one that only had a few raised ridges around the circumference to grip; it’s entirely possible that the fully-knurled lid shown in the manufacturer’s first picture may be easier to grip. Stainless steel on stainless steel has a tendency to gall anyway, there’s no getting around that. Second, the canteen cup handles are very loose and flop around with the slightest movement. Not an issue when it’s in the canteen cover, of course. I’m toying with the idea of finding a way to tighten the fit of the handle’s hinge points, but I haven’t decided on anything permanent yet. Right now I’m thinking a small shim made from a can would probably do the trick. Minor complaints, as I admitted, but at this price point I think there really shouldn’t be any.

I bought these to replace the steel canteens I had before. There was nothing wrong with my old canteens but the caps were broken and the replacement caps kept leaking. I bought these only because of the caps but when I got them I checked to see if they would fit my canteen cups with the fold out handle and they were a perfect fit. They fit in my cavalry canteen cover perfectly. I use my canteen every day and I needed one with a cap as tough as the canteen and this has lived up to it.

I don’t normally do reviews on products, but I am super impressed with this canteen. Made extremely well, robust cap which is cnc milled. Wont break like the standard issue aluminum canteen lids.
The gasket is made of silicone which should give years of leak proof service.
Storing water in a stainless bottle is much more appealing than storing it in aluminum which can leech into the water and be ingested. Same with the Cup which is typically used to boil water. The only con that I can mention is that it is heavy, comparitively speaking to a typical military surplus canteen kit

Now this is a canteen! Living at a time when everything is becoming substandard and mediocre, this canteen really shines. Excellent quality; the handle, cap and cup are all well made and tight fitting. All I need is a decent pouch, but I almost don’t want to hide this beauty in a cover.
