Wellness, at its most basic level, is hydration. And I'm sure many of us can relate to falling below the recommended intake of water in a day. Then came oversized sip bottles and metered containers, but nothing has really stuck in my routine.
However, when in doubt, I always find that there's nothing like a beautifully designed dispenser to get me excited about quenching my thirst. And, fitting right in with the latest small kitchen trends, it was love at first sight when I first came face-to-face with Endless Rhythm's Ceramic Gravity-Fed Water Filter and Dispenser collection.
From the design to the technology and the story at the heart of this brand, not a single aspect has been left to be an afterthought. Now, let me tell you why and take you on a journey that may, possibly, make it so that you're never dehydrated nor ashamed of your water filter again.
Endless Rhythm's Ceramic Water Vessels
My potentially unpopular opinion is that you can have the most bland room, but if you invest in the right, well-designed functional accessories, it will immensely change the way your home looks and feels — and beverage dispensers seem to be the accessory getting a glow-up this year.
We've seen fridge dispensers get their time in the spotlight, but now I'm shifting onto Endless Rhythm's undoubtedly beautiful water dispensers. First, let's do a design debrief.
Ceramics are an age-old form of storing water, but Endless Rhythm's take on moulding these water vessels strikes a comforting balance between old and new. The lidded top allows for easy refilling and filter replacement, and the classic hardware placement lets you fetch a cup of water with just the turn of a tap.
The colors selected by Endless Rhythm for this SSENSE exclusive also feel wonderfully refreshing. Since we're used to side-eyeing clunky, colorless plastic jugs and translucent blue office dispensers, these colors are a welcome nod to fashion-forward functionality.
Whether you have a colorful kitchen or a minimalist kitchen, there's a finish that will fit your home and make hydrating feel cool — you'll be wanting to stop for water breaks non-stop.
How Does It Work?
Now, let's break down the working of these water dispensers. Each piece is fitted with a Refill Ceramic and Carbon Water Filter, but how does it work?
The water is loaded into the dispenser through the opening at the top and is then gravity-fed into the filter, trickle by trickle. The filter itself is made in the UK with specially formulated porous ceramic and activated carbon to ensure that the water you drink is clean and fresh.
Each filter lasts six months and is designed to banish 99.9% of pathogens, bacteria, microplastics, and harmful chemicals, such as pharmaceuticals, heavy metals, pesticides, and herbicides, from your tap water.
After passing through the filter, the water then collects in the lower half of the dispenser, awaiting to be poured out and sipped up.

I found this Ceramic Water Crock by Minnico Dispensers on Etsy, and aside from this intense earthy color, it's also available in red, black, and white.
Endless Rhythm's founder, Cecilia Byrne, started the brand with the objective of reducing waste in the water filtration space, providing facts about the need for well-filtered water, and promoting hydration in an intentionally sustainable way. And alongside her team, I believe she has done so without missing a single mark.
