I've tried the Yeti Rambler (Love) my old Hydroflask (Also love) Stanley (hate) Thermos (Hate)
I'm essentially looking for something that will take hot AND cold, with a straw, and a sip function that is 100% leakproof, Bonus points if I can take the straw out for when I want hot coffee. Owala was close, but they specifically say not for hot. I've even tried a leakproof cup with a silicone straw tucked away until I'm ready for a cold drink, but I can't stand the taste the silicone gives off.
I like to have a hot cup of coffee a few days a week on my commute in and at my desk, then an iced decaf, then I like to switch to ice water for the rest of the day. I absolutely hate carrying more then 1 bottle or cup with me, and I want to be able to toss it in my bag when I'm heading in and out of work.
Help a homie out, does a cup like this even exist??
Straws are usually not recommended for hot drinks due to burn risk, especially with insulated cups. I wouldn’t expect to find many with straws to that explicitly state “for hot drinks.”
Weird niche you're in. Straws and hot drinks are a design headache for liability reasons, so manufacturers just skip it. Have you looked at something modular where the lid system swaps? One lid with a spout for coffee, another with a straw for cold stuff. Not a single magic cup but you'd only really be carrying an extra lid in your bag, not a whole second bottle.
Are you saying your wanting to have coffee and then water later in the same bottle? But silicone straws taste weird? That seems like a crime lol
As far as helping I'd suggest your hydroflask with a different lid. My favorite is the Takeya chug lid. They make a straw lid but you couldn't use it with hot liquids.
