1 or 2?
My wife has like 6 of the +20oz Yeti tumblers and two 40oz hydroflask containers that are in full rotation. Most days I think she drinks 2 tumblers and the 40oz (coffee, water, & water.) I don’t really see the issue with having more than 2 stainless steel containers. They should be able to be recycled and as long as you are using it them there isn’t a problem?
We have (or had) lots of cheap water bottles from various organized events, work place events, basically anywhere cheap swag is given away with some branding on it…yeah all garbage (in the figurative sense). Most of them have either been recycled or donated away.
I use to scoff at the Yeti branded stuff as overpriced, but when the wife bought that first rambler and I saw that magnetic lid slider…well obviously we have many more in our collection now. I use none of them however, just a 40oz hydroflask for taking water to work.
The lid was what sold me on it, along with the whole “chuck the parts into the top rack of the dishwasher” thing. I have a couple plastic baskets for the top rack that holds small parts and the lid and slider fit nicely into them. (they came with the dishwasher that came with the house; the dishwasher’s long since gone, but those baskets just work.)
And I’ll be drinking water out of a different Yeti in a minute. Coffee cut-off time is noon.
We have Detroit water, which doesn’t taste great out of the tap, so we filter it. We only buy bottled water if there’s some wider emergency (water plant gets compromised, massive flood, Canadians invaded, you know, actual emergencies).
Guests should bring their own bottles, AmIRight? But alas, we had guests over in Nov and I had to buy bottled water at Target (I never buy bottled water). Couldn’t believe how expensive it is.
What I’ve found is that the insulated mugs keep my beer chilled a lot longer than keeping it in the original can (yep, canned beer drinker here). Wife uses the mug in the morning since her creamer thing cools down her coffee, but I don’t use additives, and I want my coffee to cool off so I can drink it without scalding.
At our house they get a clean Nalgene and pointed to the fridge filtered tap. If they ask nicely, I sometimes let them keep the Nalgene (so I can excuse buying new colors).
Their stainless steel (never use the abbreviation, least your post get deleted as a violation) shot glasses are a camping necessity to drown disappointment after getting skunked fishing.
You beat me to it. I don’t buy bottled beer anymore.
And on topic, I don’t buy Stanley insulated mugs to show off on TikTok. I have a Contigo mug that was gifted to me, and is one of my favorite and most-used possessions. It’s black.
