Know before you buy
The lid is engineered as a one-piece, screw-off unit that seals tightly without the need for removable rubber gaskets. This design ensures the tumbler remains leak-proof while eliminating the hidden crevices where mold or residue typically accumulate.
No, this tumbler is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the vacuum insulation and the finish, we recommend hand-washing the unit with mild dish soap.
The 14 oz. model measures 3-1/8 inches in diameter. While it is compact, it is not specifically designed for standard automotive cup holders, so you should measure your vehicle's console space before purchasing.
The SlickSteel polished interior is designed to resist odors and stains, which prevents the metallic aftertaste often associated with stainless steel containers. This ensures your beverage tastes exactly as intended, even after repeated use.
For the 14 oz. model, the vacuum insulation maintains a temperature of 144°F for hot drinks and 48°F for cold drinks over a six-hour period. Performance may vary slightly based on the starting temperature of your beverage and how often the lid is opened.
Yes, all food-contact surfaces are constructed from 18/8 stainless steel and are completely BPA-free. You can use the tumbler daily for hot or cold drinks without concerns regarding chemical leaching.
