Heat On Tap

Boil Water Anywhere with the Cauldryn Fyre Water Bottle

- Steven Kuo

Hot water is life — whether on a mundane level, as piping hot coffee keeps people sane and civilized during their everyday routines, or in a survival situation where the ability to sterilize water can keep you alive.

In RECOIL OFFGRID Issue 5, we reviewed a selection of insulated and non-insulated stainless steel water bottles. The best of the insulated bottles did a great job of keeping hot liquids hot and cold liquids cold. But all they can do is maintain temperature as long as possible. The Cauldryn Fyre water bottle takes that a step further by incorporating a heating element at the bottom of its stainless steel, vacuum insulated bottle. You can attach a large rechargeable battery to heat on the go, or dock the bottle on an AC- or DC powered base and plug it into a wall outlet or cigarette lighter socket in your car or boat.

The One Bottle To Rule Them All?

With a name that Saruman would be proud of, the Cauldryn Fyre aims to do it all.The 16-ounce bottle is vacuum-insulated to maintain temperatures on its own. It’s topped with a screw-on lid with two openings — a small one that flips open to sip from and a larger spout with a threaded cap to pour from. The pour spout also sports a pressure release valve for boil mode. There’s a plastic clip strap that keeps the lid attached to the bottle and also includes a retention loop.

The heating element has two primary modes accessed via two buttons on the bottle: maintain and boil. The former maintains a specified temperature; you can cycle through four temperature ranges — 124-134degrees, 135-145 degrees, 160-170 degrees,and 194-204 degrees. Initiate the boil mode and the element will stay on until the contents reach the boiling point (212 degrees).The four LEDs on the side of the bottle light up as the temperature reaches 104, 140, 176,and 212 degrees.
