Insulated Drinkware
Insulated drinkware that keeps coffee hot and drinks ice cold, from tumblers and mugs to water bottles, barware and hydration reservoirs. Our range is led by YETI, alongside Nalgene, Grayl and CamelBak, built from tough stainless steel and BPA-free plastics for the office, the boat and the campsite.
Grab a water bottle for every day, an insulated tumbler or mug for your coffee, and barware like Colsters and wine tumblers for evenings at the bach. For tramping and running, a hydration reservoir lets you drink on the move, and an insulated ice bucket keeps a round of drinks cold.
Pick your colour and size at the Land & Sea concept store at 36 Pollen Street, Grey Lynn, or order online for fast, tracked delivery across New Zealand. Drinkware also makes an easy gift with click and collect from our Westgate collection point at 4B Topere Way.
Frequently asked questions about insulated drinkware
How does double-wall vacuum insulation work?
Double-wall vacuum insulated drinkware has two stainless steel walls with the air removed from the gap between them. Heat travels poorly through a vacuum, so very little warmth gets in or out, which keeps hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold for hours. It also means the outside stays at room temperature, so a hot coffee will not burn your hand and an iced drink will not leave a ring of condensation.
What do drinkware sizes in oz mean in millilitres?
Many insulated drinkware brands, including YETI, size their products in US fluid ounces. As a rough guide, 10 oz is about 295 ml, 20 oz is about 590 ml, 26 oz is about 770 ml, 36 oz is just over a litre and 64 oz is close to 1.9 litres. A 10 to 14 oz mug suits a standard coffee, while 20 to 36 oz bottles and tumblers are popular for water through the day.
Can insulated drinkware go in the microwave or freezer?
No. Stainless steel insulated drinkware should never go in the microwave, as metal can spark and damage both the cup and the microwave. Freezing is not recommended either, because it is unnecessary for keeping drinks cold and can stress the walls and seals. Instead, pre-chill a bottle with ice water or pre-warm a mug with hot water for even better temperature performance.
Is stainless steel or plastic drinkware better?
Stainless steel is tougher, does not hold flavours or odours, and is the only option for vacuum insulation, so it is best for hot and cold drinks and long-term use. Quality BPA-free plastic bottles are lighter, cheaper and nearly indestructible, which makes them great for tramping, gyms and kids. Many people keep a stainless bottle for everyday use and a plastic one for the pack.
Which drinkware is best for boats and the car?
Look for lids that seal or close firmly, such as screw caps, chug caps or magnetic sliding lids, so a bump or a wave does not send your drink everywhere. A base that fits your cup holder helps in the car. Tumblers with a slider lid are spill-resistant rather than leakproof, so for bags and boat lockers, choose a bottle with a fully sealing cap.
Will an insulated tumbler fit my car's cup holder?
Most 20 oz and smaller tumblers and many 18 to 26 oz bottles are designed with a tapered base that fits standard car cup holders. Larger bottles and straw mugs of 30 oz or more are wider and may not fit older or smaller cup holders. Check the base diameter on the product page and compare it with your vehicle, especially if you want a big tumbler for long drives.
Is insulated drinkware dishwasher safe?
Many stainless steel insulated products, including YETI Rambler drinkware, are designed to be dishwasher safe, but it varies by product, lid and finish, so always check the care instructions. Hand washing with warm, soapy water keeps lids and seals in the best condition. Take lids apart where possible, as gaskets and sliders can trap moisture and grow mould if they are not cleaned and dried properly.
How do I remove coffee stains and smells from a stainless tumbler?
Fill the tumbler with hot water and a spoonful of baking soda or a drinkware cleaning tablet, leave it to soak for a while, then scrub gently with a bottle brush and rinse well. For stubborn tea and coffee stains, a paste of baking soda and a little water works well. Remove and clean the lid's gasket too, as that is often where lingering smells come from. Avoid bleach and abrasive scourers.
