For an extra $0.99 a month, they will underpay an immigrant to let you drink the water from their cupped hands instead.

What would you consider adequate pay for someone to rent out their hands as cups?

To be fair: if this design was the price for free water everywhere I would pay for it. I want a world where I can get free drinking water everywhere so I don't have to carry it.

When I was in Rome there were just public water fountains everywhere. Good quality water, accessible to everyone.

Meanwhile my shitty little European town has recently installed a fountain for drinking, filling up your bottle and also with a dog drink station, completely free.

They have those at a lot of parks that I take my dogs to in my state in the US too. Usually free poop bags too, and yet half still can't be bothered.

This photo is about 8 years old now. I’m pretty certain Reefill did not succeed as a product or a company. It barely got crowdfunded and then fizzled out a year later.
