Hot Water Test

We used a 30 oz tumbler for the hot water test. The test was carried out in a period of 7 hours to see how long it can hold your coffee. Although I don’t think anybody will brew a coffee to drink it hours later.

Our test was simple. We recorded our findings from the beginning to the end.

1. Water was boiled at 180 °F
2. The hot water was poured into the 30 oz cup. A thermometer was used to take the temperature of the water.
3. check the water after an hour for 7 hours.

Result

After 7 hours, the temperature dropped from 180 °F to 130 degrees. This is prove that Rtic tumblers can hold your cold, hot coffee for long.

Cold Water Test

In the cold water test. We pitted the Rtic tumbler against a generic tumbler we bought on Walmart. Trying to see how efficient the Rtic is in holding ice over long periods, a 12-hour test was conducted. Both cups used for the test measured 30 oz respectively.

We followed a simple procedure for the test

1. Equal measured ice was put in both cups.
2. After the 12-hour period, water was poured out from both cups.

Result

More ice melted in the generic tumbler, thus, more water. There was ice floating on top of the water after 12 hours. In fact, from the way things were going, the cold could have lasted for 24 hours.

Things we like:

Affordable price – compared to the Yeti tumbler, the Rtic is is twice as cheap which is really a great bargain, considering they hold ice and hot for almost the same period.

Durability – The tumbler is build with tough exterior and durable parts like the lid.

Insulation – it locks in cold/heat inside, this helps in maximum thermal performance.

The tumblers don’t sweat which makes it comfortable to hold in hands

It fits in any car’s cup holder

Things we didn’t like:

To be very honest there’s nothing we’ve found that doesn’t sit right. Doing so would be nitpicking as other tumblers in the market have similar flaws.

Construction and Durability

When it comes to durability, double wall vacuum insulation ensures not only does your cup retain cold or hot content but shatterproof. Whether hot or cold will affect the outside. In addition to that, sweat proof design offers a comfortable grip.

It has a narrow design at the bottom which is made to fit into cup holders. Also, the taller base gives a better grip. The Rtic cup includes a heavy-duty seal to lock out in all the cold or hot content. This provides an astounding thermal performance.

Another great thing you’ll appreciate is the splash proof lid, and small impacts will not spill your drinks from the cup. The lid integrates two holes, and the small one allows air to get in so that you can sip from the large opening without hiccups.
