Customer reviews of Orinko

My family has adopted these beads! You can really feel the difference with the tap water you usually drink. There is no more of that chalky, chlorine or other flavor that can be found when we usually take water directly from the tap. It's a real pleasure to drink our water and to offer it to guests. It is up to me now to think about preparing our water a little earlier and I still have to get suitable containers. I am delighted with this first discovery! I will continue to use them to descale my kettle because, as I have read, they are also good for descaling and keeping appliances free of scale for longer. I can see that I still have a lot of great discoveries to make with these pearls and that they will be real allies for my appliances, my plants, my food...

I really like these binchotan activated charcoal sticks.I had already bought some in bamboo and not in oak like these ones and it's really efficient! So of course, these sticks are supposed to remineralize the water and bring a lot of nutrients and it's something I can hardly verify.But clearly, as far as water purification is concerned, it works very well. I have tap water that is quite hard and has a strong taste. After 4 hours (ideally 8 hours, to be left overnight in a carafe), the water doesn't taste like tap water at all.compared to the ones I had, the sticks here are smaller and are given for a filtration up to 1L, I confirm.In short, rather than buying bottled water, it's a solution that I like a lot, especially since charque charbon offers up to 6 months of filtration, so one bag can last quite a long time :)

Very good for drinking water. Doesn't bring any bad smell or taste to the water but perfect to have a drinkable water. A stick can be used for a long time so it's perfect.

very good contact with the seller. available and responds quickly to emails.

Meets my expectations

First of all, I would like to point out that the water in my house is very hard.Strong points :- ecological and natural- simple and easy preparation (10min in boiling water, and personally I rinse the charcoal before putting it in the water carafe)- takes little space- effectively softened water, especially at room temperature- long duration (6 months) so economical compared to filtering carafes where the filter only lasts one month- can give a nice decorative effect in the carafeWeak points :- anticipate at least 4h before being able to taste purified water (they indicate at least 4h for a good water and at least 8h for an excellent water)- the carbon can come out of the carafe if you pour it with little water in it- the carbon can make noise by moving in a carafe not very full

I find them a little thin and light, when the taste I have not noticed any difference

It "fulfills" its role :)

The product arrived very quickly and after a few months of use I am very satisfied, it purifies my water very well every day.

Good for the planet! Drinking tap water without smell, without particular taste...

The water in the carafe is translucent and more tasteless. I bought it without really believing it. I bought it without really believing in it, but I bought others because I am so satisfied. I recommend this product.

The carbon filters the water well. It becomes softer for sure. Only negative point: the fact of having to make manipulations to make it active (boiling) and its long time of action (8h).article that I recommend nevertheless.

Great product. Great product that lasts a long time. I am very happy with this purchase

I recommend it 100%! At the top

Super product I use it for my water carafe, my Senseo, my kettle and even in my steam broom. Regarding the water it tastes much better! At the top!

Top seller, very good communication, responsive customer service

In my carafe and my dishwasher

Coupled with bishotane does its job very well. I can no longer drink tap water which tastes disgusting but with these products I find a good quality water.I strongly recommend!!! No more plastic bottles, saving money without question and the environment will be much better off. Products that should be mandatory in every home.

It's been more than 2 years now that I stopped buying bottled water. I was not familiar with this brand but when I saw that it was a French brand I wanted to try them. They are half the price of the ones I used to buy and twice as big, so as always, you have to boil them for 10 minutes every month for 3 months.

Coupled with ceramic tubes it's magic. I drink tap water again!!! Thanks for the environment and my wallet!

I did not know this product but apparently it is good for your health

Thank you for your fast sending, received late because of the post office and the confinement, but very happy to participate little by little to the protection of our planet

All good, thank you

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.

Conforms to the description of the purchase!

very good

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

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.

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...

The charcoal dissipates the electromagnetic waves of the computers: place it between you and your device, without covering it.

It is completely clear and the charcoal is supposed to filter the heavy metals and chemical products.It is beneficial for the health because it releases minerals and trace elements.on the other hand has no effect against limestone.it's been 2 months that I use this way of purifying my water and I could notice the difference of taste with the water to recover directly to the tap which at home to a light taste javélisée... A healthier water, less waste, ecological & economic, recyclable and 1% of the selling price is put back to a ?????????????????? ???? ??????????????????????????.???????????????????? ???????????????? !?? ??

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
