Kikkerland Reusable Ice Cubes, Set of 30, Multicolor

InAbsolutely Perfect

I am very pleased with this item. They contain purified water, and you simply put them in the freezer for several hours, and then you can pour whatever liquid you're drinking over the cubes in your container. Your drink doesn't get watered down, and when you're finished with your drink, you can just rinse off the cubes, return them to a plastic bag or whatever, and refreeze them for next time. I was glad to see Kikkerland makes these because it's a brand I trust.

These were perfect for what I needed them for. They worked really well when putting in an insulated water bottle and adding cold water. They would help keep my water cold all day long and sometimes through the night. I don’t know how Well, they would work just adding water from the tap because I always added my water cold.

I like that I don't have to use up water or take up space with an ice tray. You can toss them into the freezer individually or pack them in a container that fits in your space. The water where I live is drinkable but doesn't taste good so it's nice not having to use it for icing drinks, and I enjoy the fun colors these cubes come in. The variety of colors is also useful for distinguishing your glass from someone else's.The cubes cool down the drink without watering it down and when you're done, just rinse or wash then put them back in the freezer.

Easy clean, so far doesn't stain and keeps my drinks cool like normal ice.

I bought these for my sun tea and for use in my small air cooler to save on ice cubes. Yes, they freeze relatively quickly, but they also thaw as fast or faster than regular ice. In an insulated cup, they work fine to keep drinks cold, certainly don't dilute them. But, again, they don't stay frozen any longer than straight up ice cubes. I don't notice any weird taste due to encasing material. Been using about a week. Will use until they wear out. But I won't buy more.

Great price, the product is functional and does the job.

I'm kind of confused by all the good reviews. Do these not make your water taste like plastic - did I get a defunct batch? Even after washing all the cubes before use, my water has a slight plastic taste to it. They also do not keep my water cold for as long as normal ice does. I thought this would be nicer than having a to constantly refill ice cube trays, but regrettably, I will not be continuing to use these.
