What is a Tumbler?
A tumbler is an insulated mug or cup that you can take on the go. They can be made of a variety of materials, like glass, plastic and stainless steel. Stainless steel options are popular because they’re great at controlling temperature.
While water bottles are good for holding water, tumblers are more specialized. They can feature straw lids, handles, and more. A standard water bottle will keep your drink contained, but it’s not great for keeping liquids hot or cold.
For more information on the differences between tumblers and water bottles, check out our blog.
What is a Tumbler Used For?
Tumblers are primarily used to keep beverages hot or cold and protect them on the go. Whether you’re at the beach with a cold drink or just want to keep your morning coffee hot at work, a tumbler is sure to satisfy your needs. Their sturdiness also makes them great for hikes and other outdoor adventures, where there might otherwise be a high risk of shattering glass or you need a more portable option.
Benefits of Tumblers
Let's dive into the top benefits of using a tumbler.
1. Tumblers are a more sustainable alternative to plastic single use water bottles. Habits of Waste reports that 481.6 BILLION water bottles are used in a single year, resulting in obscene levels of pollution. For this reason, using a reusable tumbler or water bottle is a great idea.

2. Tumblers are simply one of the most convenient drink containers. They are incredibly versatile so you can mix and match to your beverage of the day, and the added tech + features (like a handle, straw, locking lid, etc.) will enhance your drinking experience.
3. Tumblers may be made with fewer harmful chemicals than reusable plastic water bottles. Many plastics contain BPA, a toxic chemical that can have negative effects on your health, so you should always be sure to check the BPA levels before purchasing a plastic water bottle.
4. Plastic and other common water bottle materials can grow harmful bacteria if not properly cleaned. BrüMate tumblers are made with stainless steel, which creates a far less friendly environment for bacteria to grow, and most are dishwasher safe for ease of cleaning.
5. Temperature retention will keep your sips at the perfect temp. Insulated tumblers are great at keeping your last sip just as cold or warm as the first, and prevent it from becoming diluted.
