And it doesn’t matter if you’re having your drink hot or cold, an insulated tumbler will keep its temperature for you for several hours. Duration though will vary depending on the temperature (hot or cold) and the type of insulation. So let’s have a look at the top rated insulated tumblers to help you with your decision.

But on average, you’ll get to retain the hot temperature of your drink for 4 hours and cold temperature for 16-18 hours.

Simple Modern includes two type of lids with their cups, a flip lid and a straw lid. The flip lid, which is perfect for hot drinks, is leak proof and well insulated. The straw lid is splash proof with a straw that slides through its center. Both lids are dishwasher safe.

While the cups are double-walled, the inner wall of the stainless steel cup is dipped in copper to give it even more insulation and reduce temperature transfer, making it also safe to hold without getting burned.

Commonly Asked Questions

Are Stainless Steel Tumblers for hot or cold drinks?

stainless steel is a material that is known for retaining temperature, any temperature. But how long it retains the temperature will vary for each. Normally, it is easier to keep a temperature cool for a longer time than to keep it hot. So, stainless steel tumblers are good for hot as well as cold drinks.

What Should I Look For in an Insulated Tumbler?

First, determine whether you’ll be using the tumbler for hot drinks or cold drinks more and check if it keeps your desired temperature long enough for your liking.

Also, hot drinks are better consumed using a flip lid or a 360-degree sip lid (which allows you to drink from any side of the lid, mess-free). Cold drinks are best with a straw. So make sure you pick a tumbler with the best lid for your use.
