12 oz Ceramic Lined Travel Tumbler with Handle and Straw Lid - Keeps

Our review of the 12 oz YOGI ceramic lined travel tumbler finds it best suited to commuters and anyone who wants true-tasting coffee or iced drinks on the go. The single biggest reason to buy is the ceramic lining, which prevents metallic aftertaste and preserves flavor whether you use it for hot coffee or an iced beverage. It also functions as a can or bottle insulator, fits standard cup holders and has a leak-resistant lid, making it an all-purpose companion for daily travel.

Key Features

• Ceramic lining: The puretaste shatterproof ceramic interior prevents metallic flavors and helps each beverage taste as intended.
• No exposed metal: No part of the drink contacts metal, reducing bitter aftertastes and giving a cleaner drinking experience.
• Vacuum insulation: Double-walled, vacuum-sealed stainless steel keeps drinks ice-cold for over 24 hours or hot for several hours.
• Cup holder compatible: The 12 oz profile fits most standard cup holders for easy use during commutes and road trips.
• Handle and straw lid: The handle adds grip and the straw lid offers a spill-resistant option for sipping on the move.
• Can and bottle insulator: The tumbler doubles as an insulator for most 12 oz cans or bottles, increasing its versatility.

Who It's For

This tumbler is ideal for people who want a travel cup that preserves flavor: coffee purists, iced tea drinkers, and those who dislike metallic aftertaste from metal-lined mugs. It also suits drivers and commuters who need a cup holder-friendly design and a handle for easy carrying.

It is less appropriate for users who want larger capacity drinks or an ultralight, collapsible bottle for hiking. Also, if you prioritize a fully rigid, heavy-duty lid assembly, some customers reported mixed sturdiness around the lid, so those needing a perfectly rugged lid may want a different model.
