People carrying a drink beyond breakfast
If you may drink some water on the way to work and finish it later, look for a closure explicitly described as resealable. Nisbets lists Cano Water’s still 12 × 500ml cans in that format.
Who is each format for?
People who prefer a small sparkling serving
A ring-pull can makes more sense when you want sparkling water and expect to finish it after opening. DDC Foods lists a Cano Water sparkling multipack of 24 × 330ml ring-pull cans.
Households stocking up on individual drinks
If cans are not essential, compare the number of servings and total volume in bottle multipacks too. Tesco Groceries and Sainsbury’s list several still-water bottle multipacks, while Tesco Groceries also lists sparkling options.
What should you check before choosing?
Decide whether you need to close the drink after opening, then choose still or sparkling water and a serving size that fits the morning.
Still, resealable cans
Choose when: you may take several drinks over a commute rather than finish one at breakfast.
Bear in mind: the Cano Water 12 × 500ml pack contains 6L to store at home.
Sparkling ring-pull cans
Choose when: you prefer sparkling water and a 330ml serving you expect to finish after opening.
Bear in mind: the Cano Water 24 × 330ml ring-pull format is not described as resealable.
Bottle multipacks
Choose when: an individual bottle works for your morning and you do not specifically want cans.
Bear in mind: a bottle multipack does not meet a preference for canned packaging.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Closure | Check whether the individual container is resealable or ring-pull. Confirm the closure on the exact variant you intend to buy. | I may carry the drink after breakfast, so being able to close it again matters. |
| Water type | Check the label for still or sparkling water; do not assume every sparkling can has the same closure. | Do I want carbonation with breakfast, or would I rather take still water? |
| Serving size | Compare the volume of one container with how much you plan to drink at once. The listed Cano formats include 500ml resealable still cans and 330ml sparkling ring-pull cans. | A smaller serving works if I will finish it soon; otherwise, I want a container I can close. |
| Pack volume | Multiply the container size by the count: 12 × 500ml is 6L; 24 × 330ml is 7.92L. Check where you will keep the pack. | Will I use individual drinks across several mornings, and do I have room for the full multipack? |
| Packaging | Check whether the exact multipack contains cans or bottles, especially when comparing products from the same brand. | If an individual bottle works just as well for me, I can consider bottle multipacks alongside cans. |
Common buying mistakes
-
Assuming every water can is resealable
Nisbets describes Cano Water’s still 500ml cans as resealable, whereas DDC Foods identifies its sparkling 330ml cans as ring-pull. That difference matters if you will carry the drink after opening it.
Check the closure stated for the exact multipack rather than relying on the word “can”.
-
Choosing by container count alone
A Cano Water pack of 12 × 500ml contains 6L, while its 24 × 330ml sparkling ring-pull pack contains 7.92L. The pack with more cans also has smaller individual servings.
Check both the total volume and the size of each drink before choosing a pack for repeated mornings.
-
Treating the drink as breakfast
Water can accompany breakfast, but it does not replace the foods shown across the groups in the NHS Eatwell Guide.
Plan the food you will take as well as the drink.
Brand and retailer references
These examples help distinguish canned formats from bottle multipacks; a brand’s wider range does not establish the packaging of a particular product.

Cano Water appears in both resealable still-can and ring-pull sparkling-can formats.
- Nisbets lists the still multipack as 12 × 500ml resealable cans.

Questions about water multipacks
Should I choose a 500ml resealable can or a 330ml ring-pull can?
Choose a resealable 500ml can if you may carry the drink after opening it; a 330ml ring-pull can suits a smaller serving you expect to finish. The cited Cano Water 12 × 500ml still pack is resealable, while its 24 × 330ml sparkling pack is ring-pull. Sparkling water is also listed in a separate 500ml resealable format, so check the closure of the exact product.
How do I compare packs with different numbers of containers?
Compare the size of each serving and the total volume, not just the count. A 12 × 500ml pack contains 6L, whereas a 24 × 330ml pack contains 7.92L; the latter provides more, smaller individual servings.
Can water take the place of breakfast food?
No. Take water as a drink alongside food rather than treating it as breakfast itself. The NHS Eatwell Guide describes eating across different food groups over the day or week.
