Yeti is the Beats By Dre of drink containers.

The only thing I like is the magnetic slide lid which is easy to clean. And the fact that they are dishwasher safe. I rarely use mine.

Had an insulated water bottle by them that I threw out because I couldn't unscrew the mouthpiece apart from the lid due to crappy design.

They are heavy, decent, overpriced, and not for me.

My daily right now is a bubba insulated 32oz Tumblr for iced coffee. Hot is one of my 2 zojirushis.

Yes, why are they so heavy? I bought one and decided it was all marketing, they aren't very good for their cost.

I like the YETI tumbler, if only for the magnetic lid. I have the Zojirushi like OP's, but I'll be damned if I can immediately start drinking coffee after a fresh pour. For that reason alone, the YETI is my daily use tumbler.

All the new all metal ones are garbage. I had my coffee on an old vacuum glass thermos and forgot it over a three day weekend at work. When I got back it was still too hot to drink. I still see them all the time at flea markets and yard sales for 5 bucks or less.

Or the K&N filters of the automotive world.

Which is funny because I always mention Beats whenever I trash on K&N filters. (They're shit BTW)

The yeti's test no better than any other insulated tumbler with a shit lid.

That said, insulated tumblers with shit lids are my favorite drink containers for at home now since all the parts are easy to clean and they keep stuff cold long enough.

I now use a Thermos brand travel mug for my daily coffee as it has a better lid system. Its a good improvement on heat retention compared to contigo but not near the 6 hours and still boiling hot that zori is.

Zori is my tumbler of choice for taking to work for my second\third coffee.

That 14 oz Yeti I got for home use does the job. I do like that the lid is easier to clean and less involved than the Zoji. That and one of my cars doesn't have a cupholder so it sits nicely on the passenger floor.

The yeti style seems great for home use.

I've got a few ozzark trail ones for at home, the last one i bought came with textured paint on the outside and even a rubber bottom that works awesome to help not slide around on coffee tables\desks. Its damn grippy.

Sounds good and all but if you don't mind my asking. What exactly is happening on your tables and desks where it's nice to have finally found an insulated cup that you don't have to worry about sliding around all over the place?

Nothing is happening on my desk\tables out of the ordinary :P

I wasn't looking for the grippy bottom or anything, i just went to reorder the plain stainless one i had gotten before off amazon and they had added some features that were a bit different compared to most other tumblers.

I'm sure the rubber grip on the bottom might never save a spilt drink if it ever came down to it but maybe it will.
