Your New Favorite Hydration Option: MiiR All Day Straw Cup

posted by Gumption Ryan April 16, 2024 0 comments

Spend any time online, at the park, or the grocery store and you’ll quickly realize that America has a new obsession: Double-walled, insulated, mega-sized tumblers.  And since it’s 2024, there’s no shortage of options from which to choose. However, there’s a new stand-out that deserves your attention: The MiiR All Day Straw Cup

On Performance and Design…

For our long-time readers, it comes as no surprise that we are huge advocates of reusable hydration vessels.  As product testers, we’ve worked with every hydration brand on the market and used virtually every cup, bottle, and tumbler under the sun.  We even had the Stanley Adventure Quenchers in hand long before your favorite Instagram influencer knew they existed.  With all that said, we’re about to tell you why the MiiR All Day Straw Cup not only has our attention but has quickly become our daily go-to option. 

Trust us, this tumbler isn’t like any other on the market. Although the All Day Straw Cup may act like the others, it looks nothing like them. Sporting a modern, minimal, and clean aesthetic, this 32oz cup is designed to keep you hydrated throughout your day – from your counter to the cup holder, from the soccer game sidelines to your stand-up desk.  All the while, it locks in the cold, prevents spills, and looks good by your side.

Why do we love it? More than culturally trendy, the MiiR All Day Straw Cup is aesthetically pleasing and design-forward.  Sure, you can follow the crowds and have the same water bottle as everyone else… but you’re not like everyone else, so why should your hydration option look like Sally’s down the street? Amidst a vast and raging sea of options, the All Day Straw Cup stands a cut above the rest – like a fine piece of art deserving of its own place of distinction on your counter. Even better, a unique three-part system with a drinking straw, and a flexible silicone mouthpiece above the lid that stays quietly in place. Unlike similarly designed products, this one is legitimately splash-proof and shatterproof.

At 32 ounces, it hits the sweet spot of size without looking like you’re toting around an igloo cooler with a handle.  The size allows for less time refilling and more time drinking. By refilling just a few times each day, you’ll hit The U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine’s recommended 92 ounces a day consumption. And thanks to MiiR’s Thermo 3D® Double wall vacuum-insulation, each and every sip will be icy cold and perfectly refreshing.

It’s also made from 90% recycled stainless steel – the brand’s highest percentage ever – and comes with a lifetime warranty (in other words, you don’t need to collect loads, a trend that slightly undermines any eco-friendly, reusable benefits). Lastly, it’s easy to clean which means you’re more likely to use it since it won’t be sitting in the sink, waiting for a scrub.  The wide mouth and smooth interior lip, make hand washing with a sponge or bottle brush easy, unlike other tumblers or water bottles with narrow necks.

And don’t forget, because it’s MiiR you also get the added benefit of doing genuine good for the world. MiiR’s most consistent initiative is printed on the bottom of each of their products: A “Product to Project” code gives consumers the opportunity to register a code to follow their funds from the point of purchase to where the final impact resides. Each year, the brand invests a portion of top-line revenue in nonprofit organizations whose work empowers communities while benefiting the health of our natural environments. To date, this lineage has totaled more than $4.1 million in grants across 26 countries. 

In Closing…

Whether you’re snagging one for yourself (which we highly recommend) or as a gift for a friend, the MiiR All Day Straw Cup will see a ton of daily use in your life or theirs. With a stellar, sleek design backed by the power of MiiR’s Thermo 3D® Double wall vacuum-insulation, this one is a no-brainer.
