>>1136647]I'm a huge fan of the Sawyer mini, but I bought the Katadyn BeFree and tried it out this weekend. All the rivers here were flooded (rained nonstop while I hiked) and I noticed that the water I was drinking had a funny taste. I thought it was just a new filter taste until I got home and put some filtered water in a glass. I think I'll be switching back to the Sawyer after this. Sucks because I love the filter speed of the BeFree
