Copco Sierra 24oz Insulated Pineapple Tumbler - Double Wall Vacuum Stainless Steel Travel Mug for Iced Coffee, Smoothies & Beach Drinks - BPA-Free Leakproof Cup with Straw & Lid

I drink iced coffee every morning. I used to spend $3-5 a day at Dunkin Donuts or Starbucks for my fix, but I finally decided to go for greater convenience and enormous savings by getting a Keurig and making my own at home. So I needed a cup, and after shopping around briefly I settled on this one, and I've been very happy.The cup: This cup (without the straw inserted) is seven inches high, which fits perfectly in my Keurig Platinum Plus brewer with the drip tray removed. I fill the cup with ice cubes and set the Keurig to brew 10 oz, and the cup fills to just below the top. This is perfect for me, as I don't add any additional milk or creamer. I have had no issues whatsoever brewing hot coffee directly into the cup over ice. I don't think I would pour a hot beverage directly into this cup without the ice cubes, though, it's not made for that. My wife likes to brew her coffee separately in a mug, add milk and sweeteners, and then pour it over ice into this cup.This cup has a 2.5 inch diameter at the base and a 4 inch diameter at the top. When the straw is inserted it adds another 2.5 inches to the height (for a total height of 9.5 inches from the base of the cup to the top of the straw). This fits perfectly in the cupholders in my car - for reference, I'd estimate that it's about the size of a "medium" iced coffee from Dunkin Donuts.There's an insulated band around the middle of the cup, about 2/5 inches high, which keeps your hands from getting cold while holding iced drinks. To the extent that the cup "sweats" (which hasn't been an issue for me) this would also presumably keep your hand dry.The straw: This cup comes with a washable, reusable straw. It's made of sturdy plastic and reaches all the way to the bottom of the cup so you can get every last drop of your drink with ease. The bottom of the straw has four little "paddles" on the sides, which are surprisingly useful for stirring drinks. It's the kind of feature I would never think to look for in a cup, but I really like it.The lid: The lid generally seals firmly and easily with a quarter turn and does not leak. I usually put the lid on and then swirl the cup around to mix my drink, and the lid provides a tight seal. Having said that, occasionally it takes me more than one try to line up the threads right and attach the lid. If it's not attached firmly, sometimes liquid will drip through the threading and leak a little, so it's worth taking an extra two seconds to make sure the lid is on firmly. But that's really true of any lid on any cup, and not really a flaw of this one in particular. Its "screw on" design is certainly less prone to accidents than the kind that simply pop on (and can therefore simply pop off). There is a flexible ring that sits snugly inside the perimeter of the lid and creates the leak-proof seal.I was so happy with this cup that I purchased a few more in various colors. My only issue (and the reason I gave four stars instead of five) is that on one of the lids, this ring got stretched out somehow, and so that lid is now pretty much unusable. I do wash the cups and lids in the top rack of the dishwasher, I don't know if that one lid ring was stretched out due to being washed in the dishwasher as opposed to being hand-washed, but I've washed the other lids the same way and I've had no issues with them yet. Because I have several of them and they're interchangeable (and I'm never using all of them at once), this hasn't really been a problem for me, but obviously I'd be disappointed if I only bought one and it became unusable.Overall: I've had this cup for about eight months and used it pretty much every day since I got it. Even on weekend mornings, when I don't necessarily need a travel cup since I'm not commuting to work, I still brew my iced coffee into this cup because it's so convenient. After regular use with various flavored coffees and other iced beverages, there is no residual taste in the cup or the straw, as you sometimes find with other plastic beverage containers. I did knock off one star because of the issue I had with one of the lids. But otherwise I've been so pleased with this product that I've purchased several more for myself and for others, and would highly recommend it if you're looking to make your own iced drinks at home.I bought 3 different BPA-free travel tumblers on Amazon last month. This one good, and I'll definitely keep using it, but it does not compare well to the quality and features of the other 2.All three are all priced within a few dollars of each other, and available for Free Super Saver Shipping and Amazon Prime. I have used them only for ice water and iced tea (black and herbal), and they hold no residual flavors, even with strong teas like peppermint. I cannot vouch for how any of them would fair with smoothies, soda, or coffee drinks.I'd rank them in this orderBEST: In the build that I work in there is a small cafe that sells drinks. It's really the only option for getting a drink in the building, unless of course you bring your own from home. They charge $2.25 for a cup, then you get free refills for the day.So, I was buying a cup and filling it up on average about twice every single day that I worked. So I was spending $2.25 per day, or $22.50 every two weeks on nothing but drinks at work. I wanted to try and cut back on that expense a tad, so I started looking around at all of the options out there. I knew I didn't want an actual water bottle, and a lady I work with recently got one of the Copco cups in purple. She really seemed to like it, so I took to Amazon to find one.As is the norm for Amazon, the cup arrived really quickly in a nice sized box.I like it a lot. It's built well, the straw is nice, and the top screws on securely. It also seems to keep drinks cold for a really good amount of time.This cup has allowed me to save quite a bit of money. Now, instead of spending $2.25 per day, I'm buying a single two liter bottle every two days and keeping that in the break room at work, then filling this cup with ice. The two liter bottle is costing me on average about $1.50 every time I buy it, so I'm spending on average 75 cents per day on my soda, instead of $2.25. Basically, I'm spending $7.50 every two weeks on soda instead of $22.50.So, this cup paid for itself basically in the first 7 days of me using it, and it's now helping me to save money...and as an added benefit, I'm not throwing away a foam cup and plastic lid every day!I like it. Anything that saves me money pretty much every single day is a good buy in my opinion.I had read reviews elsewhere about it sweating if the liquid is icy, which is true. So if you are considering this product for your iced teas etc, be aware that it will sweat but this doesn't happen if the liquid is just cold.Another reviewer said the lid got lose after some use. I bought "First ever universal spill proof cap fits almost any cup! Reusable. Non toxic high quality flexible silicone can be stretched to fit a wide variety of cups & glasses. 2-Pack Blue by GreenPaxx (Blue)" available from http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0084GF5P2/ref=oh_details_o06_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and it worked perfectly for this tumbler. In fact it's as if they were made for each other.The straw really works well with the mixer at the bottom. A bit hard unlike the silicon straws, but serves its purpose.I have given this product a rating of "5" because it serves me very well for my cold smoothies.Great cup. Great design. However rubber desk is coming away after only a months use. Disappointed by this.Love the cup. The straw has a small integrated shaker at the bottom. I would buy it again. A little pricey, but great.Bei "Becherglas" dachte ich das es tatsächlich aus Glas sei... ist aber alles komplett aus Plastik... und man muss extra zum Zoll wegen dem Versand aus USA... dafür lohnt es sich nicht. Wirklich dicht ist der Deckel auch nicht...VASO DE GRAN CAPACIDAD QUE PERMITE RELLENAR DE BEBIDA. HERMETICO Y SE LIMPIA ESTUPENDAMENTE.
