Customer reviews of Orinko

My water is not particularly hard, does not have a bad taste... I have a filtered circuit dedicated to drinking water. Well, it is difficult to find a real advantage, the water is very close, not to say identical to the one that comes out of the "classic" tap, nothing to do with the filtered water which is much more neutral in taste ....

Be careful not to leave them lying around, I find them very small, even dangerous for young children who might be tempted to taste them.I don't understand the principle of this Japanese-made ceramic and its effect on limescale or on what gives the taste to water.I prefer to use it to treat the water of the iron.

Indeed these sticks make the teeth smooth as clean but it is difficult to reach the bottom teeth. There is no taste so I wonder if I don't have any results on breath compared to toothpaste.

Having spent some time in Africa, I am used to these wooden sticks that fray and are used as toothbrushes there.These sticks are not of the same wood as the one used in Mali.They are delivered in individual packaging.At the opening, we have a certain smell, which goes away quickly though.We have to remove the bark on about 1 cm, the wood inside frays, we can then brush our teeth with it (and not just bite it).It is efficient, teeth are smoother. On the other hand, we find ourselves with a lot of small residues of wood in the mouth, which is not the case with the traditional sticks that I was able to use before.On the principle, therefore, it is yes, but defects in these sticks.

It is about 25 ceramic pearls to improve the quality of water.French brand but made in Japan, too bad.Ideal when we have a hard water as at home.I placed them in the water tanks of my coffee maker and my kettle.It is still necessary to put a certain number.To see in time for the effectiveness.Good ecological alternative.I hope that this comment will be useful to you, if you have questions do not hesitate.

They are sticks coming from the root of an African shrub, and they should be used as an alternative to toothbrush and toothpaste. I want to use them as an emergency solution when I can't brush my teeth after each meal, but it won't make me give up my toothbrush ritual. It's nice to chew, but I don't think it's very efficient. It's difficult to evaluate!

I expected to receive real Binchotan and I received bamboo...one of which is completely broken.I find the product expensive compared to the use we make of it, especially since bamboo is known to be very cheap.

Good product but fragile, received broken holes

Disappointed with the quality, very thin and hollow coals that break easily and "crumble" despite having respected the instructions for use.I had bought a coal from another seller to test, it is much more resistant and effective!

Natural product, replaces the cottons that we throw in the garbage because reusable

One of the sticks was broken into pieces...Other than that, it looks good.

Large diameter stick, suitable for jugs or carafa! But some particles still come off after several uses.

Well received with correct packaging at first sight... only after opening a box and unpacking the sticks one of the three was unusable received in crumbs... so far from slightly broken or cracked... so unusable!

Only 4 days of use and a big part of the carbon broke. Moreover, there are a lot of particles that come off, and not small ones! Moreover, I find that they don't filter that well, the bad taste of the water is still there after 4 hours of filtration when it's supposed to be the optimal time (it dissipates by leaving it longer).It's not the first time that I use Binchotan, but it's the first time that I buy them and I'm not very satisfied. I will not repeat my purchase from this company even if the eco-responsible side had pleased and convinced me at the beginning.

The coals leave small black deposits in the water. That's a shame.
