bubba Hero Dual-Wall Vacuum-Insulated Stainless Steel Tumbler with Grip, 12 oz., Black

I had an older 20oz version of the Bubba I was using every day. Now with this 24oz Bubba, I can take a half a lot of coffee with me every day. A quick rinse in hot water is normally all they need. Load contents, shake vigorously to mix, done. They both fit into the side pockets of my work backpack. They get tossed around my back seat with no leaks. Contents stay hot for hours, often through a ten hour shift, second only to a classic Thermos (which is not as convenient).UPDATE: two years later and still using this bad boy almost daily. Again, worth it!

i had an OXO travel mug for coffee. recently i switched to drinking more tea. i couldn't get rid of the coffee flavor of the OXO so i decided to buy another travel mug. i purchased a Contigo 24 oz. it was horrible. leaked from the first. i got more tea on my hand and clothes than in my mouth. my poor wife had to put up with my rage on the way to church. i saw the amazon reviews for the bubba mug and figured "what the heck. worse thing, i can return it." well this mug is just perfect. does not leak. fits perfectly in my car cup holder. keeps the tea hot hot for a long time (hours). and it does not leak. i got it on amazon for $12. liked it so much that i got one for my wife. it had got up to $17 the next week. still a great price. we both love it. highly recommended,

First off, check your local Walmart before buying here. That’s where I bought mine for something like $17.98. If they don’t have it, try their website.I filled this bottle with ice water (pea gravel sized ice), and put it in my car that was parked outside in the hot sun. I put it out at around 8:00am. Long story short, the water stayed ice cold, with ice still remaining, for over 12 hours. That’s 12 hours inside a car, with outside temperatures reaching 90 degrees. Inside the car, the temperature was even higher. The only portable thermometer I had available was a cooking thermometer. I placed it in my car, and it read almost 120 degrees.I took the bottle out after it started getting dark, and some ice was still in the bottle even before I went to bed (10:00pm). I took pics and screen shots of my weather app for this review, but I didn’t think about it until I checked the first time at 11:24am. At that point, the bottle was in my car for 3 hours.Those conditions were pretty extreme, and yet this bottle kept its ice the whole time. I also like to mention that this bottle doesn’t sweat at all. The outside of the bottle was actually quite warm, while the water was COLD. I will test this again under normal conditions. It can get pretty hot where I work at, and with a normal water bottle, ice water would turn into lukewarm water within 2 hours.Many of my friends keep raving about the YETI, but I found this to be just as good, for a lot less money. I actually like the look and feel of this better. It has a flat black powder coat feel to it, and rubber around the center.I highly recommend this bottle.

I used to get up at 3:00 a.m. to teach classes online. Coffee was a must! With half-hour long classes, your regular "cup" of coffee could get cold. With this Bubba Hero Tumbler (we called it a thermos back in the day, but that's because there was only one brand!), I could fill it up and it would easily stay hot for 5 hours of teaching time, plus a couple of extra hours of writing feedback reports.Used outside in the cold (below freezing), I easily get a good four hours before the coffee gets less than warm.Construction: Well made, well-insulated, leakproof.Usage: Easy to drink from, and the texturized rubber grip makes it easy to hold.Value: It works, it's inexpensive, 'nuff said.

I bought this insulated cup after previously owning a different Bubba that had seen its day and was sent out to be recycled. My old one was said to be insulated as well but my coffee was cold within an hour or so. Safe to say, this insulated cup is a far better choice and keeps my coffee nice and hot. I work outside so having some hot coffee to sip on when it's cold out helps to keep me warm. With that said and giving I work outside, the claim that it keeps your beverage hot for six hours isn't true, but it does keep it hot for a good period of time. It's usually long enough that even with sipping, it's hot until I finish it. Giving my previous experience with a so-called insulated cup, I'm happy with this purchase.There are a few minor flaws but nothing that would cause me to knock any stars off (I rarely give five star reviews). First, the breathe hole on the lid tends to get blocked by whatever liquid you have in your cup which in turn limits flow when you're trying to take a sip of your beverage. Every once in a while, I have to blow into that breathe hole to clear it which returns it to normal. Second, and no fault of Bubba is the flip top lid lines up perfectly with the tip of my nose so occasionally, I'll be taking a sip, my nose will come in contact with the lid and I end up with coffee on my nose. I've learned to adjust to that but it still happens on occasion.Overall, it's a good purchase. I've only had it leak on me once so far and that was due to me not screwing the lid on tight enough. So far, its withstood the abuse I've been putting it through and thankfully, it literally just fits into the cup holder of my vehicle.

I had a smaller one and when I dropped it for the 50th time (no exaggeration), I finally busted the cap.it took me a minute to replace but glad I got the larger size. Although larger, the grip is perfect and it sits in my car cup holder perfect. Keeps hot drinks warm through at least 6 hours. That's how long it was until I took my final sip. Hey I sip and savor! Lol! Nah simply forgot I hadn't finished it. All in all a good product that I recommend for any drink, in any climate.
