I just replied the same thing. It’s an excellent hack.
Was going to add a warning not to drink the water from plastic bottles though due to plasticisers.
Unlined Ti metal bottles should be fine though.

If you buy something like a Sigg aluminium bottle or no-name copy it will be lined with some kind of plastic.
If you use a light weight drinking bladder that will be plastic too. I've read that risk is much higher if you apply heat to a plastic container. This is why you should avoid microwaving in plastic containers.
So that leaves you either only using a cold liquids in plastic and accepting some risk or buying expensive (and relatively heavy) titanium drinking bottles.
Klean Kanteen?
Maybe a bit heavy for me when hiking but really nice for day to day stuff.
I like the Vargo stuff. Also the new Keego flexible bottles look really interesting.
