This Phox water filter review is based on six months of daily use in London, one of the hardest-water areas in the UK. Spoiler: the kettle has never looked better. Phox is a Glasgow-based company that makes the world's first refillable water filter cartridge, and after half a year of testing the Clean blend we're ready to give you the full, honest verdict on taste, cost, eco credentials and whether it's genuinely worth ditching Brita for good.

This Overherd oat milk review covers what it's actually like to live with powdered oat milk day-to-day, from the first scoop in a morning coffee to cooking with it weeks later. Overherd is a UK-made oat drink powder that replaces heavy cartons with a lightweight pouch you mix with water at home. It sounds almost too simple, but after putting it through its paces, we think it's one of the smartest sustainable kitchen swaps going. Here's the full verdict.
