Smart Cup



Smart Cup


I got a 30 oz Smart Cup Tumbler for my birthday (Thanks Doug).  This is a beautiful piece of engineering.  A double walled, stainless steel insulated vessel to keep your drinks hot or cold all day.  The Yeti folks make one and so do several others.

If you look at me most of the time I have my drink in a plastic cup from the local sandwich shop.  It works fine, it was the right price (free) but does not keep anything hot or cold and sweats when you have ice in it.   So this is a major upgrade for me.

The quality is great.  It comes with two lids with gaskets that keeps the contents from coming out.  There is a sipping/straw hole on one so you can drink with the lid on.  There is a sliding cover on the other to keep the contents from spilling.  They give you a choice on what you need for the situation.

I have not tested it with coffee yet.  I have my one cup first thing in the morning so I can't comment on how well it keeps thing hot.

I can tell you how well it keeps things cool.  I have filled the cup with ice several times and left it in my black truck in 90 degree weather.  After 6-8 hours the ice barely melted.  There was no condensation on the outside of the cup.  Living in Florida, there is alway condensation on the outside of a cup.  Not with the Smart Cup.

It fits fine in the cup holders in the Fuse. The only downside is that there is no give in the metal to grip.  I have arthritis in my hands.  I use a plastic cup since it is easy to hold and some days I need a little give to help hold things, but that is a personal problem.

  1. That one looks nice and they really keep drinks cold or hot for a long time. I use am RTIC 20oz, but they have 30oz too. They are half the cost of the Yeti!
