Customer reviews of Orinko

6 sticks of genuine Japanese Binchotan activated charcoal about 9 cm long and 3 cm in diameter, well wrapped individually in tissue paper.Before the first use, boil the charcoal in water for 10 minutes renewing the water once or twice.Gently place the charcoal in a pitcher, carafe or wide-mouthed bottle, no matter if it is made of glass, stainless steel or clay, and always use drinking water, such as tap water. The charcoal is fragile and can break, but this does not detract from its properties.The charcoal is fragile and can break, but this does not take away from its properties. The charcoal is re-boiled every month to clean and reactivate it, so it has a life of 6 months.the ideal is to prepare several bottles to have always one ready to consume.after that we put it in the compost or use it as a natural deodorizer in the closets, refrigerators ...Perfect to filter the water of heavy metals, chemicals, remineralize, bring trace elements, gives a neutral taste to the water and avoid buying water in plastic bottle.Only positive points! Notice in French and in English stuck on the envelope which contains the sticks of coal.

very good

Very good, PDF of use well explained, to see in time.

I try this product to have a healthier water -

I use it to purify water and it is a good compromise. It avoids me to buy bottled water which is treated, there I have the feeling to have purified water with a natural product. The water does not have any taste of chlorine and other products. So I am totally delighted with this product and I recommend it.

Having already bought some in Thailand, a year ago, I wanted to renew my stock.Orinko's bamboo is harder, so less flexible, but well worked, and smooth. The roundness of the back sticks well to the hand.

I think I'll even recommend it.

I have the impression that the use is Ok even if you can find some coal powder in the bottom of the carafe

Used in bottled water, the taste is very good (no more bad taste residues in tap water).Used in coffee pot with white beads: the limestone dissolves and does not reappear! It's perfect for coffee makers and electric kettles.solid (hot water, cold water).On the other hand, I can't test the effect on chemical or metal residues, you have to believe the manufacturer...

Very satisfied

Perfect!

Used in water bottle, the taste is very good (no more bad taste residues in tap water).used in coffee pot and electric kettle: the scale dissolves and does not reappear! However, I can't test the effect on chemical or metal residues, I have to believe the manufacturer...

I use it in my water pitcher. You have to follow the instructions (boil for 10 minutes every month) and then I regularly refill my pitcher so that there is always pure and filtered water throughout the day. The fact that a percentage of the purchase price is donated to the reforestation of the Amazon is a big plus.There are 6 sticks in the package, I use 2 at the same time, at the rate of 6 months of use, I have 1 and a half years of pure water: very good value for money and savings on plastic water bottles.

PERFECT!

Binchotans are produced in Japan, in the Wakayama and Kochi Prefectures, from Umamegashi (holm oak) wood. Activated charcoal can also be used on its own, simply placed in a water carafe. It is a very economical and ecological way to filter tap water naturally.Duration at the bottom of a carafe or a glass bottle: 3 monthswithout the toxic products that treat our water

I can't do without it anymore. I don't buy any more bottles since I tested this product. I recommend it as an economical and ecological product. It allows to have a much better quality of water.

Very nice ear cures made of bamboo. Ecology +++There are some for the whole family. You have to get used to using it.

Very good, the product seems to meet my expectations...see in time

Product conforms to the description and received quickly. I ordered this product 3 months ago. Since I discovered these ceramic pearls I notice less this unpleasant smell and try to consume less bottled water but more tap water. I recommend this product to my great surprise that works

Satisfied

I bought these beads to banish the kilos of plastic that the consumption of water bottles represents for a household of 4 people. I've been testing them for a few months now and the efficiency is still the same as on the first day. I use them in carafes, in the vases of senseo dolce gusto style coffee makers, which significantly reduces the scaling. I recommend this product

I have been looking for a way to purify my water for a long time and this is a good alternative to traditional filters. The delivery was very fast 1 day.the sticks last up to 6 months so I have a very long time, this is a good value for money.

I highly recommend this site, the customer service is really serious. They answer all questions quickly, they do their best to satisfy us. For my part, my purchases concern the carafe and the activated carbons, I am very happy with them, the water is delicious. Thank you to the whole team.

Easy to use and above all effective to be able to drink tap water serenely. Everything is clearly explained on the packaging, which is not negligible. I highly recommend it.

The principle of the binchotan is that you put a stick of charcoal in your carafe of water of one liter (after having made boil the stick ten minutes, to be renewed once per month) and that the activated charcoal absorbs a part of the harmful elements (the taste of chlorine disappears and it seems the pesticides) while releasing some interesting trace elements. What is certain is that the water tastes better. The disadvantage is that it is necessary to leave the water from 4 to 8 hours before drinking it (thus a rotation on at least two carafes).a stick can be used 6 months, and it is recycled very well (in particular in absorber of odor in the refrigerator, then in the chimney).There is another brand black+blum which proposes sticks calibrated for a plastic gourd (they get stuck in it which avoids that the stick moves and risks to crumble in the carafe when we serve ourselves) but the plastic it is not recommended any more for the drinking water, and the price is a little bit higher. Here, one of the sticks I received (out of 6) has a knot that prevents it from going into my usual carafe, but it fits easily into a wide-necked pot. In summary, a good alternative to bottled water and filtering carafes from an ecological point of view (although it should be possible to make green oak charcoal in France rather than importing it from Japan) and economically, but it is a bit restrictive, especially for a family with children.

Indeed I notice the change. My water contains a lot of limescale. Since I have been using it I have noticed a clear change. It doesn't remove all of it, but it still works.

Very good quality products and contact with the seller nikel. I recommend with my eyes closed!

Incredibly efficient, perhaps more so than reverse osmosis filtration, as my tester tells me, and about 20 times cheaper. I can attest to this as I also have a KFLOW worth about €500 and I wonder why I don't send it back... Maybe a small doubt and nothing prevents me from adding these ceramic beads to the filtered water of the KFLOW.

product conforms, delivered quickly.

Meets my expectations

Now that I know, it will be difficult to do without these activated charcoal sticksKnowing that charcoal is used in emergency rooms in case of poisoning, its filtering and absorbing properties are no longer to be proven.We don't buy plastic bottles, I find it extremely polluting and we don't have a filter carafe either, but the water in our city is not so good and the environment is quite polluted, so I wanted to try the Binchotan, already knowing that charcoal has many qualities (adds minerals and trace elements, filters chemicals and heavy metals).The only small effort to make is to boil your sticks once a month for 6 months (you can do it in rice or pasta water), in order to purify them again, frankly the calculation is quickly done, you can very well give yourself this little trouble to try to fix things a little bit.Here we have 6 glass water bottles that we can fill as much as we want. The water is really perfect to be drunk 4 hours after filling, so the rotation is practical.and there, there is no photo, if you thought that the water has no taste you are going to be surprised! I have the impression to drink the spring of my grandfather, devoid of chemical tastes. What a pleasure, the difference is obvious! 6 sticks is good, it makes us about 9 months of water consumption with carbon, I let you do the calculation but in terms of purchase of water bottles or carafe filters, it is quickly done! No more waste and a real economy. When the carbon stick is no longer effective, it recycles naturally, you can use it for your plants.The little extra of this brand, 1% of the sale price is donated to a reforestation program, what to compensate for carbon emissions related to the transport of sticks (a limited transport compared to that of water packs purchased in trade this-dit) and participate in the fight against deforestation.the coal is adopted!

Top! Fast delivery and good quality clock!

So I confess: when I received the package, I thought we had received some kind of tools for DIY.... at the level of aesthetics of the product the note is quite low. Then I was very disappointed not to find a manual. You have to ask the seller for it... which I didn't have the time to do (it's getting tedious for an instruction manual). So I poured everything in the same carafe, it slips quite a bit when I want to serve us. After that, it's a long-lasting product, reusable and that allows to have less limestone in the water but you still have to know how to use it correctly.

Corresponds. RAS

Very good

Great! The package (packed in France) contains 4 pieces. The little notice behind the package explains very well how it works. Ideal for jug, gourd,...can't wait to see what it does over time! Moreover this company ( orinko) proposes respectful products and is eco responsible. it gives 1% to environmental NGOs

It replaces filters and other water softeners. Several months of use. Reusable once without the same duration. Afterwards you can use them crush them or not and use them in textile bag as air freshener. Suitable for the water tank of coffee machines, water bottles, gourds ...

3 or 4 balls in small pieces, clearly not because of the transport.... damage
