Review Starbucks Stainless Steel Tumbler 12 fl oz

This 12oz coffee tumbler from Starbucks has a really nice appearance. It's stainless steel and the double walls really have excellent insulation and will keep coffee hot for several hours.

The tmbler is not dishwasher safe so must be washed by hand.

The top is a bit difficult to flip up when it's snapped shut. That secure closure does ensures that the tumbler won't leak coffee out of the spout if the tumbler tips over. But it is quite hard to flip up only sing a single-hand.

Screwing the lid on the tumbler is also a little challenging, I have to make several attempts usually before I can get it squarely in the threads, otherwise it tends to want to go on crooked and you can cross thread the lid if you are not careful.

I love that this keeps my coffee hot for a long time but the difficult to un-snap top and difficult to thread lid just makes this a hassle to use on a daily basis. It will fit in most cup holders easily as it's not too wide at the base (2.5 inches diameter) but because it is relatively narrow at the base in some cup holders that don't have little arms that adjust to hold the tumbler, it can slide around and possibly tllt or tip... which is what happens in my car.

The tumbler is 7" tall when lid is removed thus it will also fit under most Keurig brewers when you remove the drip tray.

For me, because of the issues I'm experiencing, I'm rating this a 3. If you don't care about the narrow base and the potential to be too small to fit securely in a cup holder, or the somewhat difficult to thread top, then it's better than a 3.
