What does the powder coating do for the actual bottle? I assume it protects it, but doesn't it eliminate the ability to use the bottle for boiling water in a pinch. Any thoughts?

The powder coat is probably for looks mostly because stainless steel resists rust but the powder coat may offer some protection. Powder coat is baked on, so heating over an open flame may make the coating molten again and change the look of the finish.I would not recommend putting a powder-coated bottle over a flame -- at the least it would burn and discolor the coating.Here's a good website on powder coating:http://www.metokote.com/coatingTechnologies/powderCoatingProcessSpecifics.asp
