What size tumbler should I buy?

Around 0.5–0.6 litres for a desk and a car cup holder; the 0.9 and 1.2-litre ones are for people who sip all day and do not mind the weight. If in doubt, the middle size fits the most lives.

Do insulated tumblers actually keep coffee hot?

A good double-wall steel tumbler keeps a drink hot for several hours and cold for most of a day. A lid makes the difference — an open cup loses heat fast whatever it is made of.

Is a mug too small a gift?

Not if it is the one they wanted. Pair it with the beans or tea they drink and it is a proper present that gets used every day, which is more than most gifts manage.

Gifts for coffee and tea lovers

The person who takes coffee seriously already owns the machine. What they wear out — and never replace — is what they drink it from on the way out of the door.

This page is the drinkware people actually carry: insulated mugs, tumblers with a straw, flasks that keep a drink hot from morning to lunch. Real US prices, in the colors that are in stock now.

Color matters more here than anywhere: it is the one gift people are picky about the shade of. A wishlist gets you the right one.
