Few things in life are as satisfying as a reliable, never-let-you-down insulated tumbler. For one, maintaining proper hydration is hard, and anything that makes it easier to get your daily dose of water (or iced coffee…) automatically gets the seal of approval. But the best insulated tumblers are also sustainable, considering less than a third of all single use plastic bottles will actually make it to the recycling center. Refillable water bottles aren’t a nicety, they’re a necessity.
That said, there are a lot of tumblers on the market. Some will get the job done, keeping your water cool for a couple of hours. But the best? The best insulated tumblers keep your drinks cold or hot for up to a full day, giving you refreshing sip after sip as the hours pass by. These premium products also use materials that are good for your body, like stainless steel, which is beloved for its temperature regulation and prevents any weird chemicals from leaching into your drinks, or BPA-free (bisphenol A) plastic lids, which make for healthier drinking.
We’ve scoured the internet and tested one reusable water bottle after another to find the best of the best. These are the best insulated tumblers money can buy.
The best insulated tumblers your money can buy
Best insulated tumblers overall
Hydroflask reigns as our best overall insulated tumbler because it really is that good. Like the brand’s beloved water bottles, each tumbler features the brand’s signature double walled vacuum insulation that keeps cold drinks cold for up to 24 hours. The sleek design is easy to carry or store in cup-holders, while the press-in lid makes sipping (and not spilling) seamless. All hail the Hydroflask.
Best insulated cup with straw
S’well was one of the first to change the insulated water bottle game, and their line of tumblers, cups, mugs and more are just as impressive. Like all the others on this list, this 24 oz. cup is vacuum insulated with food-grade stainless steel that keeps things cold and is easy to clean. But the star is the flexible stainless steel straw that makes for simple sipping in a pinch (and cuts down on single-use plastic waste while you’re at it.)
In true S’well fashion, the cup comes in a rainbow of colors, patterns, and finishes. There’s literally something for everybody.
Best insulated cup, no straw
If you’re looking for a small cup that packs a punch, the Camelbak 12 oz. insulated cup will do the trick. It features a tri-mode lid that allows you to customize your sipping style to your liking. And although it doesn’t come with a straw, Camelbak sells plenty of reusable options to stick in on the days you need to go hands-free.
Best for hot coffee
You can spend a lot of money on a fancy schmany insulated coffee mug. Or you can buy this affordable option from Orca that’s just as good, if not, even better. The 20 oz. stainless steel mug features a copper clad interior that holds plenty of coffee and keeps it piping hot throughout the day. When you’re done, toss it in the dishwasher for easy clean-up until the next time you fill up.
Best for iced coffee
It’s always iced coffee season. Skip on the watered-down bean water with the Nomad Tumbler, which comes with two reusable straws and a spill-proof lid. It’s cup holder friendly and comes in a ton of colors, including this fun gold terrazzo that looks good no matter what it’s filled with.
Best for wine
A toast to the Uncork’d XL, your new favorite drinking buddy. This insulated wine glass is part of the brand’s new Muv collection designed to take your favorite beverages on the go. This cup fits a half bottle of wine and keeps it cold without compromising taste. The lid fully locks and features a magnetic closure that stays back while you sip. It’s better than any regular ol’ wine glass and worth a spot in your shopping cart.
Best for beer
If you’re a beer drinker, get one of these affordable, high-quality can sleeves. Unlike the traditional koozies you have cluttering your drawer (just me?), these are made of the same double wall stainless steel Rtic’s normal tumblers are made of, meaning they’ll keep your cans icy cold for hours. For $16, buying a few is a no-brainer ahead of BBQ season.
Best for road trips
Struggling to find the perfect tumbler that fits and your car and actually doesn’t spill? Meet the Yeti Rambler, your new go-to road trip companion. The vessel of this cup is tapered, so it fits seamlessly into cup holders while the elevated handle allows for easy access. But then there’s the lid—it screws in and seals air-tight for worry-free travel. Take it over bumps, curbs, off-roading—the thing won’t spill. It’s worth every penny.
Best for crowds
