The Black+Blum Charcoal Water Filter & Coil pairs a binchotan charcoal stick with a stainless steel coil, so you can turn almost any bottle into a filter bottle. The charcoal draws out impurities like chlorine using a traditional Japanese method, releasing minerals back into your water as it filters. It's sustainably sourced from Laos, vacuum packed and pre-washed, and ready to use as soon as it's out of the packet.
