I am OBSESSED with Brumate! wasn’t a water tumblr person at ALL (I owned none except free ones that I get from events) until this Resa and here’s why… Color: I originally got the dune color, then the sage for my fiance. The colors are DARKER in person, but I actually ended up really loving that for the dune color especially! The colors on the Amazon and on the Brumate website makes it look pale or like a neutral white, but it’s actually dune as they say. As in, it’s white if the sun is shining on it, and slightly soft pastel pink like the sand when the sun hits it at sunrise. I love it. I included a couple pictures attached so you can see what I mean. I don’t really like pure white cups because they are so common, so this beige/light pink color was a nice change. The sage is also darker in person (and not a pastel sage). Leakproof: Like many of the reviews say, it’s truly leakproof IF you use tighten the cup all the way and turn the locking mechanism to the U at the top. I also learned that you have to use the straw attachment it comes with, otherwise it won’t be a perfect seal for some reason. I learned this when I was washing the straws on both the Era and Resa and it leaked when I turned it over (to test), so just keep that in mind! Stays cold: Stays cold for at least 24 hours. I haven’t tried longer just because I always end up finishing my water before then. I’ve also never tried hot liquids in it because I use it for water only. Easy to clean: Everything can be taken apart, especially the silicon base! I loved that because it gave it a nice soft landing when you set it down, felt nice to hold, and prevents scratches from happening. Ergonomics: LOVE the handle. I always end up carrying my bag, phone, and keys in my hand so if I had the side handles (which the Era does), I wouldn’t be able to hook my hand through like I could on the Resa. It’s also less heavy in general if you carry from the top-handle. Accessories: this is not needed because it’s leakproof, but I got the straw caps separately from Brumate to have an exact color-match and also because I can’t stand knowing bacteria and dirt will get on the straw when I’m traveling. The cap is MAGNETIC which is brilliant, so I won’t lose it! Conclusion: I loved my Resa so much I bought the same color for the Era for home, and so I can swap them out when I wash and dry one! I actually drink more water now too because of the straw. I feel crazy that I might actually get more than two colors, maybe to five.. someone help me… all that to say, it’s so great so brace yourself if you take the chance to buy one. Improvements/Asks: A 25oz with the side-handle would be nice. Currently there’s only a 25 oz Resa or a 30 oz Era and it’s just slightly too heavy to carry 30 oz on a side-handle tumblr. Also wish the straw caps came with this (or didn’t always sell out on Amazon) and wish you could purchase the silicon straw top piece separately in case it breaks. Currently the only option is to repurchase the whole bottle… Read more
Brümate knows what they’re doing. I purchased this one, the Resa, and two other cups from this brand. I can honestly say ANY of their cups are genuinely worth every penny. For the Resa: After intentionally pushing my bottle over several times, the locking mechanism is in fact 100% leak proof. You just have to be conscientious and remember to turn it to lock and not leave it on open! LoL. Every part of the bottle (the metal straw, the hard plastic top with special locking system, the thick strap and the smooth outer skin) is made of high quality parts and feels sturdy yet still looks nice. It holds a lot of water (35 oz capacity) and drinks stay cold for a long time. I tend to prefer a side handle for my thermos, but the strap is so well made and comfortable that it’s actually better to use, less bulky than a handle. It comes in various colors and sizes to choose from, which is nice. Everyone’s preferences are different. That said, I would definitely recommend this over other leading brands, which leak despite their cost. Price is good. Product is great! Read more
BruMate Tumbler is such a great product! It is unique in a great way. It does not leak. It locks so it does not leak. It makes me feel safer drinking from it at public places too as the straw part at the top seals it up. So easy to clean too. Love the bottom has a rubbery feel to it over the actual cup. Keeps things really cold for days. Very easy to walk around with. Great capacity within! Love using it! My go too! Read more
Design is nearly perfect. I just wish the straw would go down and hide. Color is as shown, capacity gets me through the work day. Glass quality is as expected. Seal is perfect. I can throw in into my backpack or car. No leaks if you seal it as you should. I knock it over all the time on a linoleum floor and there’s only one tiny dent. My drinks stay cold. I haven’t used it with anything hot though, so I can’t speak about that. Read more
Just got mine and the first thing I did was fill it halfway with water and tip it over in the sink. I shook it up and down, side to side, lol. Not one drop! I was hesitant about the locking mechanism but it’s easy as pie. You slide it all the way to one side where it stops to seal, then the opposite side to sip. The metal straw is simple to detach for cleaning — just twist one way to release and the other to lock again. The handle is sturdy rubber with plenty of room to grip without your hand touching the straw. It kept my drink very cold for quite a while considering that I don't use ice cubes. I got the color pink. It's so pretty—glossy and bright, just like the picture. It's very comfortable to hold in my hand, which is important to me, and the grip is excellent—it's not slippery. Overall, it’s bright, sturdy, and leakproof — exactly what I wanted in a travel tumble. It's a great value and worth every penny. I highly recommend. Update: I bought one in the lavender color for my mom and she loves it. I also bought the larger size in onyx leopard for when I get large Cokes at McDonald's. Yesterday I accidentally dropped it on my tile floor and didn't get a dent or scuff on it! Read more
I've been a Stanley fan for years but decided to try something new, so happy I did. This is the best tumbler. There are so many thoughtful features. The magnetic caps, the stainless steel straw, the rubber base so there's no "cling" when you set it down. Because it has this, I prefer it without the handle. It's less bulky and easier to travel with. It also does not leak when you turn the lid to the correct position which is another plus for traveling. I also feel like 35oz is the perfect size, not too big, not too small. Highly recommend. Read more
