Product Overview
The BrüMate is an insulated stainless steel tumbler that has been created to be used for cold drinks as well as for daily use. It is built with a handheld body, reusable straw, and a spill-proof or spill-tight cap that was designed to make it easier to avoid spills on-the-go when you're either in your car, at work, or traveling.
The stainless steel of the BrüMate insulation keeps drinks colder longer than other materials. Also, its tapered bottom design allows the majority of standard cup holders to hold the tumbler, and the added handle makes it easier to hold onto the tumbler's larger capacity versions.
Customers Say
Many customers said their tumbler kept their drink cold for many hours and worked fine with cold beverages like iced coffee, as a daily source of cold water. Customers said that the insulation performed fine regardless of how much they used it during the course of the day.
Users also said they liked the leak resistant lid, handle, and straw. Many customers said that because the tumbler felt safe to carry in a bag or car and was made easy to use by the large size handle, they would continue to purchase the product.
The majority of complaints were about the cups being too heavy when filled on the larger versions; and several people mentioned that sometimes you had to align the lid and/or straw parts very carefully so that there are no drips/leaks. Also, some consumers mentioned that depending on the size, it might be hard to put them into small cup holders.
