These LCI water cans are $40 USD on Amazon right now. So if this deal is still going on and you need a water can or two, now's the time
.
Crazy to read the reviews there. A lot of user error, methinks. These are great, stout, containers and are a good deal at BuyLCI. I've used my LCI MWCs all over the place going on four years in all kinds of environments and weather and you do. not. need. o-rings. I've experimented with that at length. Tighten 'em right and you can lay them down on their sides without leaks. Some will, like the guy at JAGMTE that sells nozzles and modified caps, add a little grease (vaseline is fine) to the threads.
I keep mine mostly for water storage, not for working out of. I really like my FRO jerry with built-in threaded faucet, which I upgraded to bronze, for daily water chores. I can hook a long food-grade hose or shower hose to it, too, if need be. Here it's draining into my trailer tank. I set it there, bungee the funnel, and go do other things.

For cooking and coffee water, I keep a smaller 2gal fridge jug and will keep spring water in it when I have it. Pretty handy in a kitchen setup. The good thing about the LCI, Scepter, or FRO jerrys is that their dark color helps prevent bacteria from blooming in your water supply. In the clear jug below, if I don't keep it clean and every once in a while give it a rinse with a light bleach solution, it'll grow algae over time. You don't want that in your coffee.
