SmoothSip Insulated Stainless Steel Coffee Tumbler
A stainless steel coffee tumbler with a spout lid. Not leakproof, so better for desks than bags.
$24.99
This is an insulated stainless steel tumbler with Owala's SmoothSip spout — it's open all the time, no straw or cap to flip. The lid is splash-resistant, not leakproof, so you shouldn't throw it in a bag sideways.
Comes in 12 oz and 20 oz. The lid goes in the dishwasher. The cup is hand-wash, which Owala says helps the finish last longer.
Good for someone who wants a straightforward tumbler for their desk or car cupholder. Not the right gift if they need something truly sealed for a backpack.
Why it works
- Spout stays open — no fiddling with caps or straws.
- Lid is dishwasher-safe; cup is quick to hand-wash.
- Insulated steel keeps coffee warm for a reasonable stretch.
Who it's for
- Someone who drinks coffee at a desk all morning.
- A person who dislikes straw lids and screw caps.
What to know
- Not leakproof — it's splash-resistant, so keep it upright.
- Hand-wash the cup to keep the outside finish looking good.
- Spout doesn't close, so dust can get in if left open long.
