Cafe Maurice

don’t even remember when that last time I drank straight from the faucet. It has been years since safe drinking water meant needing to buy distilled water at a water station and not just getting it from your own home’s faucet. Boiling water is not even advisable ever since government health laboratories confirmed that water from faucets on most homes in the city have very high levels of E.Coli.

I don’t think that we are alone. In most developed countries around Asia, safe drinking water NEEDS to be bought, so tourists visiting need to be extra careful when ordering in restaurants (even with ice cubes).

I read upon this great find – a Portable Water Filter Straw (the AquaSafe Straw) is a solution when travelling to places. Imagine it as a portable filtration system set to rival those machines at water distilling station. It is a straw that has a microfiltration capillary membrane with a filtration size of 0.2 microns inside. This means that the smallest bacteria cannot even pass through it.  The outer case of the straw is made of sturdy PES (Polyethersulfone).

The straw is designed for people as young as the age of three, so this is perfect for travelling with kids. I would use this even if I ordered mineral or distilled water, just to be on the safe side.
