It's not brass, it's gold, and it's a bit too shiny for my taste, but it's simply and elegantly designed, fun to use and makes drinking tap water feel like a luxury, without your drinking pleasure being marred by any 'plastic footprint' guilt. I was expecting a spare gasket to be included but couldn't find one anywhere among the packaging, but having contacted the company via the website with a different enquiry, I know they respond to requests. I've calculated that, if it carries on working for a year and a half I'll have saved money over my old favourite sparkling water and I'd say it looks built to last rather longer than that.

Looks great and works well.
