Gear Review: GeoPress Ti Water Filter and Purifier Bottle By GRAYL
Built for the harsh stuff. The GeoPress Ti is durable and reliable. Even when conditions are extreme, it performs well. Due to the titanium construction it can also take a beating, which is important when relying on a piece of gear as important as a water filter!

Looking for a tough-as-nails water filter bottle that can take on just about anything? The GRAYL GeoPress Ti is an all-in-one water purifier bottle built for serious adventurers. Made from premium titanium and built with the fast and effective press filtration GRAYL is known for, this bottle doesn’t just clean your water, it also replaces your pot and mug for a streamlined ultralight setup!

This is one of the few filter bottles we’ve tested that feels epic. Clearly built for gnarly expeditions, thru-hikes, and any other kind of adventure where you rely on a water filter. It’s basically one of the nicest and easiest to use filter bottles on the market, cleaning up water better than most other products.


What Makes It Stand Out

  • Titanium Construction – Ultralight, ridiculously strong, and fire-safe. You can boil water in the outer cup directly on coals or a stove, perfect for emergency disinfection or alpine coffee rituals.
  • Fast + Effective Purification – Filters and purifies in just 8 seconds. Removes viruses, bacteria, protozoa, particulates, and even chemicals and heavy metals.

When clean water is this easy to get, you can actually enjoy water stops. GRAYL really simplifies the process, and I have stopped bringing a gravity filter on backpacking trips because of it!
  • Multifunctional Nesting System – The outer Ti cup doubles as a pot or mug, and nests with the inner purifier for a compact, backpack-friendly setup.
  • Perfect for Travel or Backup – Unlike typical ultralight filters, the GeoPress is great for travel to regions with questionable water sources, or as an emergency backup on big wilderness trips.

GRAYL makes alpine hydration a breeze. If you're around running creeks, melting snow, or waterfalls it takes just a moment to fill, press and drink. The GRAYL is especially nice in the alpine as it filters out heavy metals.

From filter to fire-ready Ti cup, this bottle does it all. Here is a closer look at GRAYL’s top features.

Is it as light as a Sawyer Squeeze with a SmartWater bottle? Nope. But it brings a level of versatility, ease, and ruggedness that ultralight systems just can’t match.

If you’ve ever wished your SmartWater bottle could boil water or take a tumble down scree without cracking, this is your upgrade.
