We live with our 30oz tumblers, in our home. This new fad of the double walled, stainless steel tumblers, is a great one. They really do keep our drinks cold longer, and our hot coffee, hot, longer. We also take ours on the go, and even outside, just to relax. It’s not always convenient to carry these tumblers. The 30oz is pretty wide. I love that they have come out with handles. When your hands are full, and you have to still open doors for your kids, these handles really make a difference. This particular handle, from Grip-It, is made really well too. It is very sturdy, and eco-friendly as well. It is made out of BPA free plastic, and is also recyclable, if it were to ever break, or if you got tired of it, lol. I can’t imagine getting tired of it. We have an SUV, and a Truck. My mom has a small Corolla. We can all fit our 30oz tumblers, with this handle, in our cup holders. Of course, I can’t put another cup in the adjoining spot, in my SUV. But, Ha, I really don’t care about that, lol. I’m glad I can bring my cup down with me. You just slip your tumbler through the top, and let the weight of the cup take over. I always give it a little push to make sure it’s on tight. After that, this handle will not slip or slide on you at all. To remove your cup, you need to push down on the handle, to break the hold. This fits our Yeti, and some of the competitor cups very well. We only have one competitor that designed their cup with a wider top, believe it or not. I love the ridged design of the handle. It gives it a little flare, to what is otherwise a plain cup. It is even available in 10 color choices as well. So, you could actually get one in a different color for everyone in your family. Overall, this is a well-made, sturdy handle. It fits our tumblers very well, and is comfortable to hold and use.

Colors available: Blueberry Blue, Caribbean Blue, Cotton Candy Pink, Emerald Green, Midnight Black, Orchid Purple, Snow White, Strawberry Red, Sunflower Yellow, and Sunset Orange.

Green with Envy? – Simple Modern Vacuum Insulated 20oz Cruiser Tumbler with Lid. https://cspierdowis.com/green-with-envy-simple-modern-vacuum-insulated-20oz-cruiser-tumbler-with-lid/ https://cspierdowis.com/green-with-envy-simple-modern-vacuum-insulated-20oz-cruiser-tumbler-with-lid/#comments Fri, 22 Jul 2016 02:51:31 +0000 https://cspierdowis.com/?p=4745  

green tumbler 1We have entered the age of the stainless steel tumbler, lol. They are popping up everywhere and from anyone, it seems. I love that too! These cups are amazing, amazing, amazing. We all use them daily in my household. They truly keep the cold drinks colder, longer, and the hot drinks, hotter, longer. I only have boring silver in my home though. So, I was beyond excited to be able to review this awesome bright green 20oz tumbler from Simply Modern on Amazon. I ordered the Candy Apple Green, but they do have it available in plain stainless steel, and 7 other powder coated colors. The finish of my green color is vivid, and smooth to the touch. So far so good with durability. The tumbler is constructed out of the 18/8 Stainless Steel I am used to seeing with these type of tumblers. The top does create a very tight seal, which is important for the insulation factor. It has the small mouth opening that I am also accustomed to. My thin stainless steel straws fit into it perfectly. My guys use this size all the time. They work on the road as commercial electricians, and depend on quality cups to carry their drinks. This size is great for cars. It fits into our cup holders without issue. The construction of this cup is the double walled construction, with a vacuum seal in between. That is what makes for the great insulation effects. I love that no matter what the temperature of the drink inside of the cup, the outside of the cup is never uncomfortable to touch and hold. Steamy hot drinks, no problem. Icy cold drinks, you can’t even tell. We do have the 20oz Yeti cup to compare this cup to, and it performs just as well! This cup is dishwasher safe, but I always hand wash everything, anyhow. Everyone always says, is the cup leakproof. Well, no, duh, lol. There is a whole in the lid. That always cracks me up. The seal itself is fantastic, and we have no leaing from around the seal. Fortunately, the drinking hole is small, and down from the edge. With regular walking, your fine and dandy. If you bend over to pick something up, and your cup is in your hand, it will leak out, lol. Yes, I have done that, and more than once too. We really love the bright green color. We call it Zombie Green, haha. It’s easy to spot, so hopefully, you won’t leave it on top of your car, or behind on your outing. You’ll be able to tell if a family member or coworker tries to claim it as theirs. We absolutely love it, and have no complaints. It’s a formidable challenger on the Stainless Steel Tumbler market.

Stands up to the competition. – Buy Chiefs’ 20oz Stainless Steel Tumbler with 4 Straws Bundle. https://cspierdowis.com/stands-up-to-the-competition-buy-chiefs-20oz-stainless-steel-tumbler-with-4-straws-bundle/ https://cspierdowis.com/stands-up-to-the-competition-buy-chiefs-20oz-stainless-steel-tumbler-with-4-straws-bundle/#respond Mon, 11 Jul 2016 23:03:23 +0000 https://cspierdowis.com/?p=4549

My family and I all use these new double walled stainless steel cups. I would feel bad about not using my Tervis cups, but these cups really help keep my cold drinks cold, longer, and our hot coffee drinks, hotter, longer. You really can’t lose with these. This is another brand (Chief) that has entered the competition among the stainless cup industry, lol. It is a 20oz stainless steel insulated cup, with a lid. The lid is just like the lid on our 20oz Yeti that we have. The seal is nice and tight, and holds very well. There is that usual small opening to drink out of. I like that they included the stainless steel straw that will fit into this cup. They actually include a set of 4 stainless steel straws, and 1 straw cleaning brush. This is definitely the eco-friendlier way to go over disposable straws. I have been using a stainless steel straw and cup for a very long time now, and I do not ever taste a flavor difference with the metal. This tumbler has been able to hold its’ own amongst its competitors that we own. I always have an ice cold drink with me, even bedside, so it’s important that my ice last as long as it can. If you just place ice in here, you will have some ice left in it the next day. My throat is always swollen due to frequent anaphylactic reactions, so this is a must have feature for me. I think that’s pretty wild that ice will last so long in this cup; I love that. This cup will not leach chemicals into your drink either. It is obviously BPA free. It will not shatter or crack on you, if you drop it. Your hands will not get cold or hot when holding this either, due to its’ great insulation. Since stainless steel doesn’t rust, you will not have to worry about your cup not lasting for you. We use a Keurig to make our coffee. This will not fit, but if you brew a large cup of coffee, that will fit in here perfectly, and allow enough room for milk. So, the large cup setting is a perfect match for this cup, if you add milk to your coffee. If you drink it black, it still fits, and there will be some room left over in it. Another great to go benefit, is that it will fit into your car cup holders well. It fits into all of my cup holders. This is another must have feature for us as well. This has held up to our testing, and our must haves. They even have it available in the 30oz size as well. It’s a welcomed addition to the stainless tumbler market.

Makes it easy to carry your tumbler. – K3 Brands’ 30 Ounce Yeti Tumbler Handle. https://cspierdowis.com/makes-it-easy-to-carry-your-tumbler-k3-brands-30-ounce-yeti-tumbler-handle/ https://cspierdowis.com/makes-it-easy-to-carry-your-tumbler-k3-brands-30-ounce-yeti-tumbler-handle/#respond Tue, 21 Jun 2016 04:19:24 +0000 https://cspierdowis.com/?p=4335

My mom and I use our 30oz Yeti Tumblers every day. She had a handle like this for her Tervis, so she was so happy to see this handle for the Yeti. This handle is from K3Brands on Amazon. It is made to fit the 30oz Yeti Tumbler, and their competitors as well. It fits like a glove too. Just slide you cup into it, and it holds on perfectly. It doesn’t slide down at all when you place your cup down on the table. It does make it easier to grab and go. You can actually carry more things since you have a firmer hold on your cup. It may sound weird, lol, but it’s true. The handle is made out of a thick, black plastic. This plastic is a “Food Grade Polypropylene”. The handle does not bend on you at all. It is a very sturdy, and reliable handle which is a great relief. I know I do not want to spill my icy drink all over me. I always have a glass full of ice, and a nice cool beverage. My mom always has her large ice coffee with her. We discovered that this handle does add a little weight to the lot, but not enough to make it too cumbersome; even for an older person like my mom. She even has some arthritis in her hands. The handle does make it easier to carry. The handle does not bend under the weight. It’s just very reliable and sturdy. It’s really easy to keep clean as well. The material doesn’t show fingerprints. It seems to always look nice and clean. I am very happy to see that it is just as useful as I hoped it would be.

Fits the Yeti! – Neat Lids’ 30 oz. Tumbler Lid. https://cspierdowis.com/fits-the-yeti-neat-lids-30-oz-tumbler-lid/ https://cspierdowis.com/fits-the-yeti-neat-lids-30-oz-tumbler-lid/#respond Wed, 08 Jun 2016 19:50:31 +0000 https://cspierdowis.com/?p=4222

I have a 30oz Yeti cup, and one of their competitors’ 30oz Stainless Steel tumblers too. I drink out of my Yeti 30oz all the time, and I do use a straw. It’s hard to find straws that will fit into these cups. The tops that come with them have a very small drink opening on them. I have been seeing these new tops advertised all over Facebook. So, I have been very intrigued by them. In other words, I was so thrilled to be given the chance to review one. It arrives in simple, mail order packaging, and in perfect condition. It fit both my Yeti tumbler and my copycat tumbler, perfectly. It is made out of BPA free, top quality, food grade plastic. The seal on the outer ring is great, and really keeps your lid in place. There is a top sliding “door” per say, on the top of the cup. It slides over, and cover up the hole perfectly. Your drink will still trickle out if tipped, but a splash from walking won’t make it out. That is a great perk if you take your morning drink with you, on your way to work. The O Ring Seal makes the vacuum seal well. Without this seal, your cup wouldn’t be able to keep your cold liquids cold, and your hot liquids stay hot, for as long as it does. I noticed no difference with this lid compared to the lid that comes with the cups. I like the drinking opening a lot, on this lid. When slid open, the drink opening, was made a little bit larger, to accommodate straws. It is hard to find a tall thin straw, so this lid makes it doable. I am loving this feature. If not using a straw, the sliding lid feature is very beneficial as well. Especially if you are hanging outside. You don’t have to worry about any bugs making your way into your drink, eeewwwww. It’s also really nice knowing your hot coffee won’t splash onto you while heading out the door. Overall, I really like this lid. I just wish that when the lid was skid shut, that no liquid would drip out if slightly tipped. I wouldn’t definitely still but this lid, for the straw feature alone.

Hot coffee to go. -HappyGo’s Stainless Steel Thermos. https://cspierdowis.com/hot-coffee-to-go-happygos-stainless-steel-thermos/ https://cspierdowis.com/hot-coffee-to-go-happygos-stainless-steel-thermos/#respond Thu, 28 Apr 2016 04:17:20 +0000 https://cspierdowis.com/?p=3882

My guys live and breathe on the road for work. Coffee is most definitely one of their staples. This thermos is so cool too. We are thrilled with how HappyGo set up their thermos. It not only is a thermos, but it is also your travel mug. The lid is a little different to open. It looks like you would press a button, and it would pop up, but it doesn’t. There’s a little lever you have to move out of the way, and then you can press and open the lid. So, on the positive side, you will not accidently open this up and spill it. The seal is pretty good as well. It was well done overall. This is a 16oz thermos travel mug. We bought it in black, but they also have it in white, which is a refreshing color. There is a great mouthpiece on this for easy drinking. I really appreciate it because I tend to dribble on myself, lol. The mouthpiece on this is pretty large and deep, so that shouldn’t be an issue for you with this one. My husband has used it for his coffee on the road with great success. There is no glass lining in this thermos. It is 18/8 stainless steel double walled and durable. The lid is made from BPA free Silicone, food grade. There are no toxin worries with this thermos. It doesn’t affect the flavor of your drinks at all either. It just helps to keep your coffee fresh and hot longer and your cold drinks to stay cold, much longer, as well. It’s definitely a keeper for us. It’s a great quality product.
