Amazon has a "flavor" rating for this product? There're no flavor to it at all, which is perfect! :-)
After nearly 20 years of backpacking and using many filters (which have, thankfully, evolved tremendously over that time) this is my new hands-down favorite. It's nearly as light as the Sawyer Mini that it's replacing, and the flow rate is easily double that of the Mini. Both of these parameters are import because I'm now filling my hydration packs with unfiltered water and have installed this Sawyer Micro Squeeze in-line between the bag and the bite valve. I give the bladder a little squeeze to get the first water through the system, and everything flows well after that.
If you're wondering about the practical logistics of this setup, you should know that I'm now using a 1.5L bladder front-mounted to my pack's shoulder strap. This has the dual benefits of easy access and providing a counterbalance to the weight on my back. For routes where water is more scarce, I can mount a second 1.5L bag to the other shoulder strap. I know. Let the brassiere jokes begin. :-) But it works, and this little filter makes it practical.
