It's not every day that you find a cup that out performs every other one you've tried.
That's because all they do is hold liquid, right? Wrong. When it comes to drinks — whether hot or cold — there's nothing worse than when it turns lukewarm.
HydroFlask has earned a reputation for making great beverage containers, and the brand is back with two more new bottles — the True Pint and the Rocks. As both of their names suggest, both were made for alcoholic drinks.
Coming in at 16 oz., the True Pint is just the right size and will never leave you with a warm beer. Its TempShield insulation eliminates condensation you'd experience with a typical cup and keeps your drink cold until the last sip. Its stackable design makes it perfect for a backyard barbecue or camping trip.
The Rocks has a smaller 10 oz. design, but in this case, less is more. When it's time to sit back, relax, and enjoy some scotch or rum on the rocks, it's the perfect size, and because of TempShield, your ice won't melt. You'll never have to experience a watered down drink again.
For the last week, I've been testing both the True Pint and Rocks, and I'm very impressed. While I'm not a drinker, these cups can be used for any kind of beverage. Working in an office, it's always nice to have something to drink nearby, and for me, there's nothing worse than drinking iced tea that's been watered down from melted ice or room temperature water.
Before I got the True Pint, I had no choice but to continuously go to the office kitchen for a new cup of water if I wanted it to be cold. Now, I fill up the True Pint with water, and I'm set. I can honestly say that the True Pint has kept all of my drinks cold until I've finished them — the ice hasn't melted once. Not only does it keep me refreshed, but having a drink that's always cold has also been great for my productivity at work.
The Rocks is just as useful because it comes with an insulated press-in lid, making it the perfect container for a small coffee or hot tea in the morning. More often than not, I end up dumping half of my coffee or tea for a fresh one because it's not hot anymore. The Rocks is the perfect size and kept my drinks hot while I slowly sipped.
Both of these cups work so well, I'll be keeping both at my desk for all of my drinks.
