Squeezable beverage bottle and filter system

A bottle filter system comprising:

• a filter housing removably mounted within a bottle and having a proximate end and a distal end;
• a carbon-based filter media comprising a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is disposed along the proximate end of the filter housing and the second end is disposed along the distal end of the filter housing;
• an annular support structure disposed along an interior surface of the proximate end of the filter housing and further disposed along a bottom surface of a discharge mechanism of the bottle, wherein the support structure is configured to cut into and compress the first end of the filter media when the filter media is in an engaged position within the filter housing;
• and
• a crossbar-like secondary support structure disposed along an interior surface of the distal end of the filter housing, the secondary support structure configured to cut into the second end of the filter media when the filter media is in an engaged position within the filter housing.

A squeezable beverage bottle comprising:

• an elongate body comprising:
• an upper portion, a concave waist portion, and a lower portion along a height of the elongate body;
• and
• a neck portion coupled to the upper portion and forming an opening to an interior of the elongate body;
• a discharge mechanism coupled to the neck portion of the elongate body;
• a filter system coupled to the discharge mechanism and extending through the opening into the interior of the elongate body;
• and
• a discharge port extending through the discharge mechanism and the filter system in fluid communication with the interior of the elongate body,
• wherein the filter system includes:
• a filter media having a first end disposed along a proximate end of a filter housing and a second end disposed along a distal end of the filter housing;
• a support structure disposed along an interior surface of the proximate end of the filter housing, wherein the support structure compresses the first end of the filter media to prevent water housed in a bottle from bypassing a compression seal between the support structure and the filter media;
• and
• a secondary support structure disposed along an interior surface of the distal end of the filter housing and configured to cut into a second end of the filter media when the filter media is in an engaged position within the filter housing.
