Coway snagged the top honor for the seventh year running at the 10th annual Drinking Water & Water Purifier Review in 2026.<\/p>\n

Organized each year by the Korean International Sommelier Association, the Drinking Water & Water Purifier Review helps consumers pick safe, great-tasting options. National water sommeliers conduct blind tastings and award Grand Gold, Gold, or Silver ratings based on their scores.<\/p>\n

This year, Coway\u2019s Icon Purifier 3 won the top Grand Gold rating. The win extended Coway\u2019s streak of top ratings to seven years and also earned the company the Diamond Award \u2014 given to firms that achieve Gold or higher for six consecutive years \u2014 underscoring Coway\u2019s edge in water taste.<\/p>\n

Built from feedback gathered from about 3,000 purifier users, the Grand Gold\u2013winning Icon Purifier 3 focuses on convenience and hygiene. It features a Smart Moving Faucet that automatically detects container height and an on-demand UV sterilization function that activates during dispensing for a cleaner, more user-friendly experience.<\/p>\n

Coway packed the unit with its all-in-one NanoTrap filter, a concentration of the company\u2019s filtration know-how. It catches dissolved heavy metals as well as viruses and microplastics, leaving water that tastes clean and crisp.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis award recognizes the filter technology and water-taste research we\u2019ve developed over many years,\u201d a Coway spokesperson said. \u201cWe will continue researching water taste to provide clean, great-tasting water that customers can trust.\u201d<\/p>\n
