Customer reviews of Orinko

I mainly use this bamboo charcoal to change the taste of the tap water, and in this respect the result is quite up to my expectations. As for water purification, I don't have the tools to check its efficiency.

The filtration of the carafes of this famous German brand is done with cartridges filled with charcoal.Here, we have directly the sticks of charcoal to be plunged into the water of a pitcher or a gourd.You just have to boil it a few minutes before the first use and it's gone for a month. It is necessary to start again the operation every month. Each stick can be used for 6 months. Then, instead of throwing it away, you can use it as compost, it is natural, without plastic and without waste. The water is naturally filtered (it takes 4 hours) and has no particular taste. It is very simple and very practical to use.it can seem expensive at the purchase but we can hold... 3 years with a pack of 6! How much do your carafe filter cartridges cost?

Tap water, calcareous in my region, has a more pleasant taste.

I use them in all my water bottles, effective quickly, the taste of tap water has disappeared

it's nice to drink water...

I was an avid user of cotton swabs and these oriculi have replaced them perfectly. They don't take up any space compared to cotton swabs, they don't clog up the ears, and there's no need to buy more stock. Unlike other oriculi that hurt my ears, the tip of these is round, so there's no need to worry.

Not to be confused with classic biochatan, here it is hollow bamboo, it remains a good value for money, but you should not expect the same quality as the classic

the product is conform and of very high quality. I had already bought some last year and the beads work really well if you follow the recommendations received on the e-book sent by Orinko. Very fast delivery. I highly recommend this seller and this product

The biggest ones do not fit in the classic bottles

I chose these ceramic beads to improve the taste of my tap water, which is particularly chlorinated. You just have to put a dozen beads in 1 liter of water for 30 minutes to 1 hour to get a much better taste. Indeed, it seems to work. The pearls are indestructible and they slightly remove the chlorinated taste of water. The concern for me lies more in the difficulty of putting the pearls on and taking them off rather than in the effectiveness. Let me explain: the pearls come in a small cardboard box, without a muslin bag or tweezers. Slipping them into a carafe for 30 minutes is more complicated than it seems because there is no suitable container. For the moment I use my tea infuser, but I am not very satisfied with this process. I don't want to use plastic, so I'm thinking of looking for tea filters maybe, to solve the problem of moving the beads. Otherwise, I would like to know if leaving the beads in the water carafe all the time is a problem?

If I had known I would have bought some a long time ago !

one time the water is good and the other time it has a taste so I went back to the tap water

Perfect order, RAS.

ok on all points

At first I was happy with the product but it is difficult to remove the coating and the bristles are very very hard I made wounds on my gums although I do not press at all.

I bought this product to clean the ears of my baby who is 2 months old and I must say that it is great and easy to use, in general I do the ears of baby after the bath when he is calmer and it is easier

The unpleasant taste of water really disappears

Very efficient product. The only drawback is that the sticks are packaged in individual plastic... (it would be necessary to find an alternative) Otherwise the odor is a little strong with the opening but one does not feel a particular taste. I recommend

I received my beads today and some are broken! What to do?

Super good the water is very good to drink I put this is pearl everywhere in the kettle, washing machine, dishwasher, coffee maker more limestone finished the cklore I am delighted ????

Weird. I'm waiting to see

Too small, but well made.

I am very satisfied Quality products and customer service very responsive when we ask a question Fast shipping Thank you and see you soon

The beads are not as white as they were the first day but it seems to work! No lime deposits in the decanter.

Charcoal ideal for improving tap water.

I have ordered from this seller several times and have never been disappointed. Fast shipping, always very protected and never any problems. I highly recommend this seller

Product conforms and looks good!

Well packaged and well presented. Effective, makes the water taste really good. I can't live without it.

Item received quickly and in perfect condition.

I am very satisfied with this product that filters my water. No taste of my tap water.

Perfect but great lack of information on the article.

These 80 ceramic beads are very practical to prevent limescale.I cleaned my kettle with white vinegar and I put 15 ceramic beads and for the moment there is no deposit of limescale in my kettle.It is an object that does not pay mine but very practical that will make my kettle last longer in time.I am delighted with my purchase.

I didn't know these Siwak sticks at all, this pack contains 18 of them, it will last in time.my son knows and likes them very much, he showed me how to use them.each stick is individually wrapped, you just have to take off a little bark and chew the stick, it will clean your mouth, give a good breath.when you don't have a toothbrush on you, these sticks can be a good help

This teeth cleaning stick reminds me of my grandfather who used it a lot.this cleaning system has all the advantages but I don't advise it for the youngest teeth.good value for money and 0 waste.

Works effectively on limescale but gives the water a white color, instead of having limescale patches the size is decreased. I don't think it's good to drink limescale particles with every tea.

I discovered the existence of ceramic beads thanks to Orinko. After surfing a little, I found some reassuring information about the company. It is French and located in Strasbourg. Its objective is to propose solutions to consume healthy water while preserving nature and resources, and to donate funds to fight against deforestation. It is a committed company.These pearls are proposed to: - remove the bad taste of tap water, - reduce limescale deposits, - balance the pH.The objective is to use less plastic bottles in particular.I deplore the lack of notice. I like others had to search on the website Orinko.Before any use, be sure to plunge the pearls 10 minutes in boiling water and to let them dry.Then, the principle is simple, it is enough to place the pearls in a carafe, to put water and to let act 30 min at least (or 10 min according to the site).10 to 15 pearls are necessary to filter a liter of water.Level of effectiveness, it is hard to decide. I can't make tests to measure and check the composition of the water. I would have appreciated to find studies, reports certified by independent organizations. The principle is commendable and the idea is really good. Too bad I can't certify the efficiency.

We have been filtering our water at home for a long time but we just discovered the binchotan. It's much more ecological than all those plastic filters, especially since we can recycle it afterwards, and it's also more economical since we can reuse it several times.As for the taste, my companion and I are satisfied because it cancels out the bad taste of tap water and leaves a very neutral taste, contrary to other filters.In short, we're won over and we'll continue to buy them from now on.

I did not know this technique to purify water, but I must say that "what a great discovery" The water does not have any more this taste of chlorine! You have the impression to drink water of source! Boil a stick for 10 minutes and then plunge it in your water carafe for at least 4 hours (8 hours is ideal), you might as well do it at night! Every month, boil the stick again and this for 6 months max per stick. If I count 4 sticks per year at 30€ for 6, my "spring water" costs me 20€ per year.it's expensive for 4 sticks of charcoal, but negligible if I wanted to buy "good" bottled water.I'm even convinced that the water obtained via the sticks is cleaner than the one bought in bottles.my carafes are made of glass while the bottles are made of plastic and have been lying around in storage places and other places that are not necessarily sheltered from the light.I strongly recommend you to adopt these charcoal sticks like me!

Very responsive seller, answers questions quickly! The parcel arrived within the announced time and in good condition I recommend the seller
