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.
