HYDRAFLOW Capri - 20oz Tumbler with Straw - Triple Wall Vacuum Insulated Tumbler - Insulated Smoothie Cup - Stainless Steel Tumbler - Reusable Tumbler with Lid - (Powder Aqua)

Product Information

If you get any of the four colored tumblers, the coating feels more tactile than the Hydro Flask’s, like it’s been rubberized. This bottle comes in three sizes, 17 oz, 25 oz, and 34 oz, and is made from a combination of high-quality 304 stainless steel and BPA-free plastics, and features a copper lining for extra insulation to keep your beverages at the perfect temperature. Whether it’s finding great products or discovering helpful advice, we’ll help you get it right (the first time).

We started lower than brewing temperature and filled each tumbler with 180 °F hot coffee (no creamer). We measured about 3 inches from the base as the spot where we found ourselves naturally grasping the tumblers. Occupying a spot somewhere between water bottle and travel mug on the beverage-vessel continuum, the insulated tumbler has, over the past decade, become a great alternative to disposable cups. Klean Kanteen has discontinued our runner-up pick (though you may still be able to find it for sale in places), and replaced it with the 16 oz Rise Tumbler.We don’t expect to go farther down that soggy road into lesser-known vessels—no goatskin botas or maté gourds (we hope)—but the idea of owning multiple means of avoiding landfill-clogging disposable bottles and cups is one we like. The Rambler used to come with a standard lid—one you could actually fit a straw through—just like all the other tumblers. We prefer those to plain stainless steel tumblers because those get uncomfortably hot to the touch if left in the sun. The tiny anti-glug hole in the Hydro Flask’s lid won’t let liquid slosh out when the tumbler’s in a cup holder, but you still can’t toss the tumbler into a backpack and expect no leaks.

We picked vessels that were similar sizes, but the tumblers still had slight variations that would affect heat and cold retention.

This tumbler features a sleek carry handle, making it easy to take your drinks with you wherever you go.

At the time, the Hydro Flask had the slimmest, most covetable shape of all the tumblers we looked at and came in eight pleasing powder coats. Pelican Travel Tumbler: This was a top performer in insulation, and we really liked the splash guard on this lid.With the closest watering hole slightly out of range for a quick dip, we opted for a tried-and-true American classic instead: the 7-Eleven Slurpee. The standard lid has a medium-size opening at one side of the mouthpiece designed to restrict flow from hot drinks yet allow cool beverages to pass with fluidity.

Can it meet an entire day’s worth of needs as a singular vessel: sunrise coffee, mid-morning smoothie, ice water with lunch, afternoon lemonade with the same ice, sunset beer, evening cocktail, nighty-night tea? The lid is easier to put on and take off than the Hydro Flask’s, thanks to its much larger thumb tab, and it closes with a pleasing softness.I come home from work on Friday evening and find that the ice in the cup is still ice on Monday mornings. We compared the current 16-ounce tumbler with the old 20-ounce one, and apart from the sizes, the two are identical: same grippy color coating and same pint-glass-style taper. Since so much of what made one tumbler preferable over another in our evaluation had to do with how it felt in the hand, we decided to recommend the Rambler for those people (several were at our campfire dinner) who wouldn’t be caught dead holding anything less than a burly drinking vessel. Klean Kanteen has since eliminated that 20-ounce size, though, and as of 2022 offers only 16-ounce and 8-ounce tumblers. Zoku 3-in-1 Stainless Steel Tumbler: Our testers were really affected by the rounded—perhaps voluptuous—shape of this tumbler.
