The popularity of tumblers is off the charts these days, as more and more people recognize the convenience and benefits of these on-the-go beverage containers. However, there are only a few brands that truly deliver on their promises and Simple Modern is one of them!
The company offers a broad range of products that includes backpacks, lunch bags, food jars, cocktail shakers, can coolers, water bottles, and more. But the most popular item that Simple Modern features are tumblers which come in a variety of styles and sizes featuring a wide selection of colors, logos, and designs. Sizing includes a whopping 40 oz water bottle that is entirely comparable to the popular Stanley brand but is much more affordable!
Seaside with Straw Lid
For the purpose of our review, we opted for the 24 oz tumbler and selected “Seaside” as our color choice. Ironically, another reviewer in our office had just recently purchased the 24 oz “Ocean Geode” design. The two ocean-themed designs complemented each other nicely, so we set out to put them to the test.
The tumblers came with a flip lid and a straw lid plus two durable straws, thus allowing for hot or cold beverages and a second straw for convenience. The stainless steel design with double wall insulation is surprisingly lightweight, fits most cupholders, and is completely effective at keeping drinks at their desired temperature for hours on end. Tests for hot beverages such as coffee, tea, and hot chocolate proved to remain hot for 5-6 hours, and still warm for another 2-3 hours. Tests for cold beverages, such as ice water, soda, and juice all resulted in the drinks remaining cold for a 10-12 hour stretch with ice cubes still intact. The warming process after this time period was very slow so drinks were still cool and palatable for another several hours. The big surprise was milk – a beverage that tends to warm up very quickly when removed from the fridge. So, we were delighted to discover that it remained cold for 7-8 hours.
Ocean Geode with Flip Lid
We found the flip lid to be entirely leakproof and the only time that liquid escaped from the straw lid was if we overfilled the tumbler and then plunged the straw in, causing a negligible trickle to push up through the lid around the base of the straw. The amount was so small it easily wiped away without making a mess.
Hand washing is strongly suggested and is fast and easy. The lids are simple to clean as well, thanks to the lack of parts and pieces often found on other tumblers. We were also happy to note that, unlike some tumblers we have tested, they did not retain any stains or leftover aromas after they were washed.
We highly recommend Simple Modern as an effective tumbler that won’t disappoint!! The 24 oz design is available from the company website, and on Amazon.com and Amazon.ca With so many beautiful color options, including gradients, you’re sure to find one that suits your personal style. ** The Seaside and Ocean Geode colors in our photos might appear a shade darker than on the actual tumblers simply due to lighting and the differences in computer/phone screens.
