The Rise collection from Klean Kanteen is easily one of my favorite coffee mug collections right now! They are high quality, dishwasher safe, and look fantastic. However, the Tumbler has one flaw that makes me choose other tumblers over it, and that is what we are talking about in today's video. - Get your Rise Tumbler here (Paid Link): https://amzn.to/3vNZIoz - Read the Review: https://gear43.com/klean-kanteen-16-oz-rise-tumbler-review

So while back I did a review on this rise mug and I told you it was one of my favorite
0:05
coffee mugs out there today and that honestly still holds true. This thing is amazing and I'm honestly always excited when I get a chance to use it after
0:13
it's come out of the dishwasher. I'm just totally stoked to be able to use it. It's really nice in its perfect capacity and all that kind of stuff
0:20
But what I didn't tell you guys is that I also got their tumbler
0:25
So clean canteen actually gifted both of these to me around the same time and I have been
0:29
testing them out ever since. And so this one has been kind of used in my daily routine
0:34
What I generally do with these tumbler type coffee mugs is I take them when I go out and
0:38
about when I go on a drive or I go somewhere that I need a to-go mug
0:42
So currently some other mugs that are in rotation with this is like the Yeti Rambler and also
0:47
the Fellow Carter Everywhere mug. Really there is those three mugs that I regularly use
0:52
I do have some other ones but these are the ones that I mainly use and I have found that
0:56
this thing is really really nice. There's really only one reason I don't use this as much as the Yeti but we'll get into
1:02
that a little bit later. Let's talk a little bit about what this mug is. It is a 16 by 8 stainless steel coffee mug just like a lot of the other kind of camp
1:10
mugs and a lot of the other tumblers out there. This isn't really anything too special when it comes to that stainless steel
1:15
It is a really good construction. A lot of people use it in a lot of different mugs, most of them high quality and they compete
1:21
really well because it holds up to abuse, it holds up to the heat and all that kind
1:25
of stuff. So that is a really good construction. It's double walled just again like everybody else so that really isn't something that sets
1:31
it apart but it's a great feature. This particular one holds up to 16 ounces and it is dishwasher safe as I mentioned earlier
1:38
Now this is a part of Clean Canteen's new Rise collection. It is a really really nice collection
1:43
I am a big fan of this new collection. Their older style was kind of that
1:47
It was a little bit older and so it was a really welcome change when they came out with Rise collections
1:51
It kind of brought them into a little bit more modern of a feel. As you can see this is their blue color and they do also have the same color as this Rise
1:58
mug that I have right here. And it's just a nice collection. It looks really cool with the dual tone
2:03
I really like it. I have no problems with it. Honestly it is my favorite styled mug that I own
2:08
I like it considerably better style wise than I do honestly even my Carter mug now
2:12
So if you're looking for a really nicely styled mug this is probably one of your best ones
2:15
out there. So let's go ahead and get into what I do like about this coffee mug and then we'll get into
2:20
what I don't like. But first thing that I do like is the capacity. These 16 ounce coffee mugs are fantastic for to go
2:26
It'll hold just as much coffee as you need but not too much so that you know it gets
2:30
too bulky and too annoying to take with you. So it does fit in things like cup holders and then holds enough coffee for most people
2:36
to be able to drink a standard cup of coffee that they would have in the morning. Another thing that I really like about this mug obviously comes down to the styling like
2:43
I talked about earlier. I really like this dual tone style. This kind of feel to it has a really nice feel to the outside as well
2:49
It's not slippery. It has a little bit of a matte finish to it
2:54
And it just looks really nice and high quality. So another thing that I actually really like about this and it's also kind of the reason
2:59
I don't use it how wide of mouth this cap has right here
3:03
So it's one of the few mugs that I've seen out there that has such a wide mouth to it
3:07
So it's really nice to drink from it feels like you're drinking from a normal cup and it also kind of has a bit of a curvature to it and it just kind of adds to how nice it feels
3:16
And then the last thing I like about it is just really really high quality. So the mug itself I'm going to talk about the cap a little bit more later but the mug
3:22
itself is extremely high quality again stainless steel all that kind of stuff
3:26
I have no qualms with it. I think it's high quality and I really do like that about it. Okay
3:31
So now that we've talked about the things I do like about this coffee mug let's talk about the things that I don't like and why the Yeti Rambler is the one that I use the most
3:39
So I talked a little bit earlier about how I use my coffee mugs when I'm here at my office
3:43
and when I'm you know kind of drinking my coffee throughout the day. I do use coffee mugs like this like these like these camp mugs
3:48
So I'm not using these tumblers like this right here. I'm using a standard mug
3:52
Really the only time that I use coffee mugs like this is when I'm on the go which makes
3:56
sense because these are to go coffee mugs. Let's talk about the lid
4:00
So this is my biggest drawback. I think I talked a little bit about this part when I was talking about the other coffee
4:06
mug is the quality of these lids just kind of don't hold up to the rest of the coffee
4:11
mug and the styling and they're a little bit lower quality. They feel kind of like a cheaper plastic but that isn't actually a thing I dislike the
4:17
most about it. It actually comes back to that wide mouth. So that wide mouth is really really nice when you're drinking kind of you know you're
4:25
say you're walking around and you're drinking your coffee. It works really well because it feels really nice
4:31
However the biggest issue I've run into and why I don't use this comes down to when I'm driving
4:36
I tend to drink a lot of my coffee while I'm driving when I'm out and about. I don't really like carrying around a coffee mug with me so I generally drink it when I'm
4:43
driving and what I'm running into with these wide mouths is pretty much every time I hit
4:47
a bump what happens is when I put it on my mouth it only my mouth only covers basically
4:52
this right here and so what happens when I hit a bump is that the liquid on the inside
4:57
sloshes forward and around my mouth and spills out. I'm not joking I think pretty much every single time I have driven and drank coffee with this
5:04
coffee mug I have spilled it on myself. So I've had to just completely stop using it when I know I'm drinking coffee on the
5:09
go and instead I reach for my Yeti Rambler. So with all of that said who is this coffee mug for
5:16
It is for somebody that really wants a nicely styled mug. It is hands down the best out there when it comes to styling
5:23
I really like the way these look. I think whoever designed this should be given a raise
5:27
They did an awesome job when it comes to the mug itself. I can't say the same unfortunately for the lid because that is the biggest drawback for me
5:34
I would love to see them develop a new version of this. Maybe going more towards the style of what Yeti does with their Mag Slider Lids because
5:39
those do work really well or just you know make the mouth a little bit slimmer
5:44
It is an unfortunate drawback because I do like how wide the mouth is but when it comes
5:49
to driving where I drink most of my coffee I can't use it
5:54
So that is my thoughts guys. It is an amazing mug. I really really like these clean canteen mugs
6:00
I highly recommend them. But if you're somebody that drinks your coffee while driving you probably should go a different
6:07
direction but if you like style you don't drink your coffee while you're driving these
6:12
would be an awesome mug for you. So with that said I hope I helped you guys make a decision on if this coffee mug is right
6:17
for you. I don't want to say too many bad things about it because it is amazing and I hope it is
6:23
a great mug for you but again if you're driving it probably isn't
6:27
With that said it would greatly help me if you did subscribe to my channel if you like
