Insulated tumblers are all the rage these days. Why?
Well, not only are they better for the earth (replacing the waste and deforestation caused by single-use plastic bottles and foam and paper cups), they keep cold beverages cold and hot drinks hot for hours so you can enjoy them at your leisure.
How do insulated tumblers work?
Insulated drink holders are comprised of an outer layer and an inner layer. A vacuum seal is created between the two layers that reduces the transfer of temperature, allowing the liquid inside to maintain its temperature – either hot or cold – for much longer than a regular drinking vessel would.
Insulated tumblers are comprised of a variety of materials, including metal, plastic and ceramic. The DUUN® Tumbler is made of a stainless-steel outer shell (with a lightly textured finish that makes for an easy grip and comes in a wide variety of stylish colors) and a glass insert.
What drinks can be put in an insulated tumbler?
Fruit-infused water, plain water, coffee, hot tea, iced tea, hot chocolate, juices, juice drinks, smoothies, beer, wine, cocktails – a better question might be, what drinks can’t be put inside an insulated tumbler?
There are some things you should keep in mind before putting some drinks in some types of insulated tumblers, however: for instance, you may have heard that putting carbonated beverages (like soda) in an insulated tumbler is a bad idea because the buildup of pressure caused by the carbonation inside the tumbler can cause the lid to pop off.
Because the DUUN® Tumbler has a BPA-free, Tritan plastic lid with a mouthpiece that locks in place, any gas pressure that builds up inside it will probably disperse through the lid. That said, however, insulated tumblers weren’t developed to keep gases (such as the carbon dioxide found in soda) locked inside, so while your DUUN® will keep your soda chilled, it won’t keep it from going flat. Nor will it keep fruit juices or dairy products from spoiling, so you’ll not want to take too long to finish such drinks in hot weather.
Why DUUN® Tumblers are Better
Other insulated tumbler brands use plastic or stainless steel for their inner layer. This can not only affect the taste of the drink (beverages drunk from stainless steel cup holders can have a metallic tang, while chemicals from plastic drink holders can leach into the beverage), but it can also make the tumbler susceptible to damage. Additionally, drinks that contain salt (like sports drinks) or are highly acidic (like lemonade) can be corrosive to stainless steel.
With DUUN® Tumblers, you don’t have to worry about that because DUUN®’s innovative insert is made of borosilicate glass. And unlike other tumblers that must be handwashed, the DUUN® Tumbler’s insert can be removed and cleaned in the dishwasher.
5 Ways to Use Your DUUN®
Here are just a few cool (and hot!) ways you can use your DUUN® Insulated Tumbler:
1. For keeping your drinks hot (or cold).
Whether you’re looking to enjoy a steaming cup of hot cocoa at the ice rink in February or a refreshing glass of iced tea by the pool in July, the DUUN® is exactly what you need to carry your drink in so you can savor it instead of swill it down quickly before it gets cold (or warm). The DUUN® is also a lifesaver on those days when you hit the ground running at work and don’t have time to finish your morning coffee right away, because it ensures your drink will still be hot when you finally do get to it, whether you’re in the office or working from home.
2. For when you’re on the move.
Whether you’re traveling by car, bus, train, bicycle or even on foot, DUUN® is the best way to stay hydrated on the go. And if you’re one of the many who prefer to drink their morning coffee or tea during their commute, the DUUN® Tumbler is your perfect travel accessory because its slim profile guarantees it will easily fit in most vehicles’ cup holders without a problem. At the same time, the controlled-flow lid makes it easy to sip while eliminating spills so your car stays spotless – even when you’re traveling over rough roads and bumpy streets.
3. For enjoying adult beverages at the perfect temperature.
DUUN® Tumblers aren’t just for commuters! If you’re going tailgating, picnicking, camping or fishing, you’ll be able to enjoy your wine, beer or mixed drinks as easily as if you were sipping them at home by the fireplace or by the pool.
4. For enjoying a hot lunch.
There’s nothing quite as comforting and satisfying as a warm meal on chilly days. Winter hikes and working lunches don’t mean you have to be stuck with a cold breakfast or lunch, either – even if you don’t have access to a microwave. Simply fill your DUUN® Tumbler with hot soup or stew and take it with you to enjoy later. You can even use it to carry your morning oatmeal!
5. For treating yourself to a frozen treat.
There’s nothing quite like savoring ice cream on a lazy summer afternoon. Fill your DUUN® Tumbler with your favorite flavor milkshake, slushie or frozen yogurt before heading to a local ball game or park, and your sweet treat will stay cold without turning into a soupy mess. Your DUUN® is also a great way to carry your breakfast smoothie!
There you have it!
From coffee to cocktails, the DUUN® handles a wide range of beverages like a boss. Whether you want to keep cold water handy during workouts or a cup of joe on hand during late-night study sessions, the stylish, rugged and versatile DUUN® can handle it. So do your part for the planet while enjoying your favorite beverages at their best temperature longer by replacing single-use plastic, foam and paper cups and bottles with a DUUN® Tumbler of your own, and keep your drinks tasting just right at the same time. They make great gifts, too!
