I think I may stick with my nalgenes and space saver cups. I feel the wide-mouth 32 oz/1l nalgene bottles are about as small a mouth as I'd like when it comes to bottles in regular use. I use mine for far more than just for water and can't imagine being able to really clean smaller-mouthed bottles well with any certainty. Bottles are notoriously hard to clean anyway.

I EDC drinks in these bottles with an Outdoor Research (OR) Water Bottle ParkaŽ 1 Liter that zips shut over them. This insulation works so well I carry these bottles year-round. I have stainless steel space saver cups for all my bottles in various packouts. While I would prefer the spacesaver cups run about 2/3 the height of the bottles (adding about 1 extra inch) instead of the 1/2 reach they have, I'm still happier with these setups as they lend towards maximum flexibility.

BTW, the space saver cups also easily fit within the OR bottle parkas with the bottle...similar to the old military canteens and the steel cup.
