Stanley Tumbler: The viral cup that keeps your drinks cold for days
Stanley Stainless Steel travel mugs and drinking cups – the talk of the season. Used for everything from social media trends to hot summer days, an essential on campsites or keeping your beverages at the perfect temperature during your daily commute, this cup has taken the world by storm.
But, what makes the Stanley drinking cup so special?
If you’re wondering about the cause behind this travel mug’s popularity, our guide is here to let you know what we think about Stanley cups at John Norris…
History of the Stanley brand
Although Stanley cups seem to have appeared out of nowhere for those of us who didn’t know about them before the viral trends on platforms such as TikTok and Instagram began, the brand has been long established by outdoor lovers.
The brand itself has a long 100+ year history, first established by William Stanley Jr. who fused vacuum insulation and steel in one portable bottle, investing the all-steel vacuum bottle we all have heard of.
Also, the brand projects an ethos for sustainability and taking care of the earth, which is why they support groups that are fighting for the health of the planet and use sustainable materials where possible.
Features of the Stanley Tumbler
The Stanley drinking cup is renowned for its ability to keep drinks as cold as possible for 11 hours – 2 days, depending on the initial temperature of the liquid and if ice is added. The Stanleys specialisation lies within its double vacuum insulation and an advanced FlowState™ lid that features a rotating cover with 3 possible positions, allowing customers to use their straw or close the lid completely to prevent any splashing when travelling.
By far its most-stand out feature, the Stanleys ability to maintain a cool temperature makes it an essential for those who want to stay hydrated on the go, whether they’re hiking, camping or just running errands.
Its handle allows for easy carrying and it also has a narrow base that fits in most cup holders such as those found in deck chairs and cars – a great feature for people who want to be able to enjoy their drinks while they're driving, working, or at the gym. Other stand-out features include a reusable straw, powder coat finish and that it’s dishwasher safe, making it as easy as possible to clean.
Likewise, the Stanley Legendary Bottle uses the same double-wall vacuum installation, however with an insulated lid and thermal features to ensure 24 hours of hot drinks, 24 hours of cold drinks and up to 5 days if iced.

Wondering how a travel mug became one of the most sought-after cups within Gen Z social media while simultaneously being one of the greatest mugs for travelling, camping and outdoor activity?
The truth is, the Stanley is extremely durable and has the brilliant features we’ve mentioned above, but it also looks fantastic. Available in a wide range of colours that are aesthetically pleasing, the cup is not only targeting avid outdoor lovers but also the younger generations.
