It’s a culture thing, but not many of us in the United States like glugging not at all drinks at room temperature. Steam the water hot or cold, sure, but once the drink has aged too long, it starts to reach the dreaded 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Thankfully, you can combat warm drinks with a two- or three-wall vacuum-insulated container. Then every road trip, beach blast, and long day in the office will at least come with a constant supply of drinks at the right temperature.
From coffee to ice, tea to beer, we’ve sipped and shipped all of our drinks from the best insulated beverage crates we could find. Here are our top picks for all-purpose, vacuum-insulated coffee and beverage mugs. All of them will do a great job of keeping your hot water pipes hot — or ice cold.
Update June 2022: We’ve added Yeti Rambler Colster, Miir Climate+, and Purist Mover.
