Top pick
Fellow Carter Move Mug 16oz
As low as
$43
This one really does it all. It keeps coffee hot for hours, has a splash guard for spill free sipping, and offers interchangeable lids across sizes. We loved the ceramic lined interior, which keeps coffee tasting pure without that metallic flavor you can get from stainless steel. The perfectly contoured rim was another standout, making every sip feel just right. It’s a little bit of everything we were looking for in a coffee tumbler.
I thought the splash guard was for tea, then I thought it was silly, until I used it. I was walking and sipping like I didn't have to worry about too much coffee diving straight into my face, or that weird back splash you get when you're tilting it back down.
Coffee purest pick
Artisan Tumbler 12oz
As low as
$30
If coffee flavor is your top priority, this is the one for you. The ceramic interior and lid keep your coffee tasting pure, with no plastic or stainless steel touching your drink. The silicone plug worked great in the car cup holder, though we wouldn’t trust it loose in a bag. The tumbler is dishwasher safe, while the lid is best hand-washed to preserve the finish.
Sustainable pick
Ocean Bottle Brew Peak 20oz
As low as
$39
We weren’t convinced this would be the easiest bottle to clean- until we realized the lid separates into two pieces, making it surprisingly easy to clean. We also loved the 360° drinking spout- you’re never hunting around for the “right” spot to sip. The secure seal means you can toss it in your backpack without worrying about leaks. Ocean Bottle’s thoughtful design is matched by its mission: every bottle purchased funds the collection of 25 lbs. of plastic. Available in 12 oz. and 20 oz. It only comes in a couple colors, but this one was worth every penny.
Budget pick
Olla Vacuum Coffee Cup with Ceramic Liner 10oz
As low as
$13
The Olla is proof that you don’t have to spend a lot to get a great coffee tumbler. At just $13, it checks all the boxes that matter: a ceramic lining for a clean coffee taste, vacuum insulation to keep your drink hot, and a comfortable, easy-to-sip lid. It’s compact enough for your morning commute and, compared to other tumblers in this price range, feels leaps and bounds higher quality. Premium features without going overbudget.
Brand pick
Stanley Everyday Camp Cup 12oz
As low as
$30
From the moment we pulled this tumbler out of the box, we knew we loved it. The textured, smooth finish feels great in your hand, and of course, it comes from Stanley, a brand that continues to outrank nearly every other drinkware brand in popularity.
The 12 oz. size might not be for those who drink coffee by the gallon, but we loved savoring a doppio in this perfectly sized tumbler. Almost perfect, anyway. The one drawback is that Stanley recommends hand washing.
Cold brew pick
Simple Modern Iced Clarity Cup
As low as
$0
This one isn’t for the person who takes all day to finish their iced coffee. It’s for anyone who loves the look and feel of a classic glass tumbler, with the added bonus of a silicone sleeve to keep it from slipping out of your hands and ending up on the floor. Ask me how I know.
We loved the simple, sleek design, and the fact that it’s dishwasher safe. It also fits perfectly in the notoriously undersized cupholder of a Subaru, which is a win in our book.
