Reviews Orinko

Very good seller, very satisfied.

I was looking for an ecological and economical solution and I found it!

This product is quite fascinating because you can filter water with a much better yield than with traditional cartridges. On the other hand, filtration takes longer (3 hours recommended!) and the rod must be boiled before using it. I still recommend this product, for example when using a water bottle.

Here are 6 big sticks of binchotan charcoal (produced from Japanese holm oaks) which allow to purify water in a carafe: to soften it and to remove its bad taste (when it smells like chlorine in particular) and to add beneficial minerals. A completely magical side! And yet it has been practiced by the Japanese for centuries? The use is simple, but requires some anticipation: start by boiling for 10 minutes the stick(s) you are going to use, then fill the carafe with water, dip a stick in it and leave it there for at least 4 hours, ideally 8 hours, all night for example. In fact, the longer you wait, the more the stick has produced its effect, and the better you feel the difference? It is therefore a question of organization: you should always have a full carafe in advance, the ideal being to have two or three carafes of about one liter... Every month, it is recommended to boil the sticks for 10 minutes so that they release the accumulated impurities. And then they are ready to be used again? After 6 months, you can put the sticks in the green plants, or use them to absorb odors in the fridge? This is a more ecological way than using Brita filters, and more economical too. Personally I do both in parallel, because with the Brita carafe you can drink the water faster. In an apartment, you don't necessarily have the space to put carafes everywhere, nor the head to count the number of hours reached for each one)? As for the origin, you have to be careful with the binchotan charcoal sticks, because their origins are sometimes doubtful. The Japanese holm oak, ubamegashi, is a very dense and fibrous wood. Once transformed into binchotan (90% carbon), it is heavy and sinks in the glass.the traditional binchotan comes from the kishu region.on Orinko's website a page is dedicated to the authenticity of their kishu binchotan (and they only sell this one)! and here Orinko offers us a Tosa binchotan (which apparently is not on their website).how to know if it is healthy and free of radioactivity? This is the only point that bothers me! But Orinko is an Alsatian company of which I have already tried a certain number of products (among which the delicious Siwak sticks) which seems to me quite serious, and is moreover committed to the environment! Not being a specialist, I trust them. But I thought it was important to address this point.

Express delivery and great product, very efficient and especially ecological!

The smell of the earth is quite surprising but the water is soft and apart from this small smell the water has no aftertaste

Very good

Meets my expectations. Tap water has no taste! The delivery was fast

Very good experience with this seller. Fast delivery. Package in good condition. Product and meets my expectations.

Arrived the day, nothing to say my daughter is happy?

Perfect. Fast shipping. Packaging. As described.

Very good

On time, well packaged, it's ok, thank you

Excellent product very serious seller, keep it up

I used to use a Brita coffee maker, but the cartridges are particularly expensive.I've been wanting to try activated carbon for a long time. The bamboo can be used for 1 month, provided that it is boiled once again halfway through the process.After one hour, the first effects are present and completely effective after 4 hours.My son loves the taste of this filtered water.I am also conquered, the waste is much less than with the Brita (plastic refills) and recycled.It's great.

Excellent product

Very good

Very satisfied, I boiled them 10 m before using them in a carafe with tap water incredible it looks like spring water. Impeccable in the tank of Nespresso coffee machine the water and the tank remains clear without limestone. I test it in a fruit bowl to keep the freshness to see. I will recommend it without hesitation.

Good product, received fairly quickly. The quality of the water has clearly changed.

For its first days of use everything is in line with expectations. To see now in the duration

As described, the chlorine taste disappears but I am not a chemical analyzer to guarantee the effectiveness

I bought the EM pink ceramic beads. I did a blind test with my spouse between tap water, bottle water and purified water via the beads. And it is the purified water that he qualified as bottle water. So the test was validated! And ceramic beads adopted!

As described! I recommend

Not obvious when you have always used a toothbrush but you get used to it quickly. Very pleasant taste. The wood is soft and gentle. Super to massage the gums gently. Explanations use on the box. The sticks are individually wrapped. I recommend because it is a really healthy and natural product.

2nd order not collected... the team was reactive and quickly resolved my problem.

Very fast delivery and item conforms in every respect

Very serious seller, the articles are received in time, but especially conform to the descriptions. You can trust this seller without any problem. I recommend

First tests this weekend, satisfactory. The water doesn't taste like chlorine anymore. To see in time, in reuse.

Very good product and less expensive than those I usually buy in bulk! Very ecological and economical, I am very satisfied with it

I don't buy plastic bottles anymore. Really happy with this way of purifying tap water.

Great product, great merchant?

They work very well! Tired of buying cartridges for water filtering carafes for several reasons (price, recycling, plastic material, obligation to buy the model corresponding to the brand, bacterial proliferation, etc.), I bought these ceramic beads as well as a 1.5L glass carafe.The result is identical to the taste of filter cartridges: no aftertaste of tap water! You can also put it in the coffee maker, kettle, washing machine, dishwasher, toilet tank etc. Reduces limescale, easy maintenance and lasts 10 years, what savings!

Fast and careful shipping. Economical product and gives a good taste to the tap water.

....I was skeptical....the description is true....the water obtained is ideal for hot drinks and electrical appliances. Improved taste and no more traces of limescale. Excellent for reducing the consumption of plastic and the weight of groceries! Requires little handling and maintenance. To be adopted.

Easy to put in place, the bamboo stick breaks quite easily in the carafe but it is not too annoying. The water is much more pleasant to the taste and does not have the disadvantage of making us swallow plastic particles like bottled water.

Conclusive test to see in time

No more plastic bottles! Tap water becomes pleasant to drink and has a more neutral taste... no more taste and limescale sensation! It is necessary to wait 8 hours for it to be effective but by alternating with 2 carafes, it is perfect! A little constraining with the use that makes it possible to abolish the plastic bottles and it is a real benefit for the planet...

Very satisfied with my purchase. Good correspondence with the seller. I recommend! Anne-Marie

6 pieces of charcoal, they look like pieces of charred branchesI wanted to try it without really believing it... I took the 1st piece and boiled it for 10 minutes. The water came out clear black. But, unluckily, the selected stick did not pass the neck of the bottle... So I repeated the operation with another stick. The stick is plunged in my water bottle, the water remains clear and limpid. I would like to point out that until now we bought bottled water, as our tap water had a taste (8 years of buying bottles, 8L bottles...).In March, at the time of the confinement, we changed our consumption. We tried tap water, several attempts to remove this unpleasant taste and put the water in the fridge for more than 8 hours and drink it fresh as soon as it returns to room temperature the taste returns.So, a water at room temperature without any taste, just with a stick of activated carbon, I sign. Less bottled water in the fridge, at the economic level, I don't even talk about it. And my spouse, who didn't want to hear about this "Chinese thing", let himself be tempted by its efficiency. This comment is probably too long, but give it a try, you'll understand.

Talk about ear curing. The bamboo curries are the best!!!
