+9Insulated mugs, tumblers and bottles, in the colour you actually want
Ideus makes double-walled vacuum drinkware: a 16 oz mug with a handle for the desk, a tumbler sized for a car cup holder, bottles for the whole day, a 68 oz carafe for the table. Every piece comes in a lot of colours, and every lid gets a straight answer about what it does.

Which size, honestly
Volume is printed on the box. How much you actually drink from it is not. A 16 oz mug holds about 12 oz of coffee once the lid is on, and a 40 oz bottle is a jug you carry with two fingers. Here is the whole ladder with the things that decide it: does it have a handle, does it drop into a cup holder, what does the maker say the lid does.

For the desk and the commute
A handle for the desk, a sliding lid for the car. Both are honest about what the lid does.

The lid truth table
Three words get used loosely in this category, and the difference between them is a wet backpack. Splash-proof keeps a drink in while the cup stands up. Spill-resistant means a sealing gasket, but nobody promised you a bag. Leak-proof means the maker says it holds on its side. This table is built from the sentences in the Ideus listings themselves, and when two listings for one piece disagree we publish the more modest of the two.
- Leak-proofthe maker states it holds when the vessel goes on its side
- Spill-resistantgasket seals against knocks, but nothing is claimed about a bag
- Splash-proofkeeps drinks in while it stands upright
- Not statedthe listing says nothing either way

The pieces the maker calls leak-proof
These are the ones where the listing says the lid holds when the vessel goes on its side. Everything else on this site is upright-only, and we say so on its page.
Hours hot, hours cold
These are the maker's own figures from its listings, not our measurements, and the honest thing is to say so plainly. Nobody publishes the room temperature, the fill level or the lid position behind numbers like these, so read them as a comparison between our own pieces rather than a promise about your commute.

Figures on this page are what the maker states in its own Amazon listings, read on 24 August 2026. They are the maker's numbers, not ours: we have not run our own thermometer over this range, and where a listing says nothing, this site says nothing.
The longest stated hours in the range
Bottles and carafes carry the biggest numbers, and they carry them because of mass as much as vacuum: a full 40 oz bottle simply has more cold in it to lose.
After you buy: washing, gaskets and the coffee smell
A vacuum wall does not care what you put in it. The lid does. Most of the range is dishwasher safe by the maker's own statement, gaskets come out of the lids that have them, and the smell people complain about is almost always a gasket rather than steel.
Dishwasher or hand wash
The maker states the mug, the tumbler and the carafe are dishwasher safe. For the rest the listing says nothing, and a lid with a gasket in it is happier on the top rack or in a bowl of warm water either way.
The gasket is the smell
Stainless steel does not hold coffee. Silicone does. Nine times out of ten the smell people blame on the cup is sitting in the ring you can pull out of the lid, and it comes out with bicarbonate and an hour.
Spares and straws
Some pieces ship with two lids and some ship with a straw. What we can tell you is what the listing says is in the box. What we cannot tell you is whether a replacement lid is sold separately, so we do not pretend otherwise.
What Ideus is for
- 27pieces, one page each
- 50colourways on the wall
- 14pieces the maker calls leak-proof
- $9.99the range starts here
There is a shelf in this category priced like jewellery and a shelf priced like a takeaway cup, and most people want the thing in between: real vacuum insulation, a lid that behaves, and a colour they are glad to see on the desk every morning. That middle is where Ideus sits.
The range grew from one mug. A 16 oz mug with a handle and a press-in lid, in colours with names rather than numbers, Avocado Green, Sakura Pink, Storm Black, Fuji Dawn, and it turned out that the colour was the reason people picked it, and the handle was the reason they kept it. Tumblers followed for the car, then bottles for the day, then the carafe for the table, then a stein because someone asked.
The awkward part of the story is the lids, and there is no point hiding it: a sliding cover on a press-in lid is not a seal, and the listing for that mug says so in plain words. Rather than let the argument play out one disappointed review at a time, we put the three lid types on the front page with a verdict against each piece, in the maker's wording, dated. It costs us the word leak-proof on the mug. It saves somebody a soaked bag.
We do not run a warehouse, take payment or arrange delivery. Every piece on this site is sold and shipped by Amazon, and the price you see here is the one we recorded on the date printed on the price page.
For the table
The carafe and the stein are the two pieces nobody carries anywhere: they sit down and stay.
What owners say
Ratings below are what the Amazon listing showed on the date printed next to them, read as text and never dressed up as our own review score. We publish a critical one too, because the complaint about the lids is the reason this whole site is organised the way it is.
We have not collected owner quotes for this range yet, so this block stays empty rather than filled with something we made up.
Across 11 listing families we could read, Amazon showed 10,215 ratings on 24 August 2026, averaging 4.4★. We count each family once: colourways of one piece share a review pool, and adding them up would multiply the same customers by ten.
Guides
Five questions we get asked before every purchase, answered at length and with the range in front of us.
Splash-proof or leak-proof: what each lid really does
Three words, three different promises, and one of them is the difference between a damp desk and a ruined bag. Here is what each one means, how to test the lid you already own, and which Ideus pieces sit where.

How long does coffee stay hot in a vacuum mug?
Six hours, twelve hours, twenty-four: the numbers on the box are real and they are also nearly useless without the conditions behind them. What the physics actually does, what the figures assume, and how to get a truthful answer for your own mug in an afternoon.

Will it fit your cup holder? How to measure before you buy
Cup holders are not standardised, no listing in this range publishes a base diameter, and the difference between a 66 mm holder and an 86 mm one decides the purchase. Here is how to measure yours in thirty seconds and what the shape of a tumbler does that the numbers never show.

Questions people ask before buying
Is Ideus drinkware leak-proof?
It depends on the piece, and the honest answer needs the piece named. The straw tumblers and the bottles are the ones whose listings state the lid is leak-proof and that you can put the drink in a bag. The 16 oz mug and the 20 oz tumbler are not: their listing describes a splash-proof sliding cover and says in plain words that it is not leak-proof. The lid table on this site gives the verdict for every piece, in the maker's own wording.
How long does a drink actually stay hot?
The maker states up to 6 hours hot and 12 hours cold for the mug and the tumbler, up to 24 hours for the 40 oz bottle, and 12 hours hot with 24 hours cold for the 68 oz carafe. Those are its figures, read from the listings, not measurements of ours. They assume a full vessel and a closed lid, and a mug drunk from at a desk with the hatch open will not reach them.
Is it dishwasher safe?
The maker states dishwasher safety for the mug, the tumbler and the carafe. For the rest the listing does not say, and we are not going to turn silence into a yes. Whatever the piece, take the silicone ring out of the lid first and put it back seated flat: a ring that goes back twisted is the usual reason a lid that used to hold starts to seep.
How much coffee does the 16 oz mug really hold?
About twelve ounces once the lid is pressed in. Sixteen is the volume of the vessel to the brim, and the lid takes up room. That is a mug of coffee by any normal measure, but it is not sixteen ounces of coffee, and it is the single thing most worth knowing before you buy this piece.
Will a tumbler fit my car cup holder?
The tumblers are the pieces the maker itself describes as cup-holder friendly, so they are the ones to start with. We cannot promise a fit, because no Ideus listing publishes a base diameter, and cup holders vary by three quarters of an inch between cars. There is a printable ring on the cup-holder page so you can measure your own in thirty seconds, that is a firmer answer than any number we could quote.
What is the body made of, and is it BPA-free?
The listings state SUS304, also written 18/8, food-grade stainless steel for the body, and food-grade silicone for the lids, described as BPA-free, on the bottle and the carafe as 100% BPA-free. Those are the maker's statements and we pass them on as such. We hold no certificates of our own and will not claim any.
Can I put a fizzy drink in it?
Not in a sealed one. A leak-proof lid on a carbonated drink turns the vessel into a pressure vessel, and opening it later is messy at best. A splash-proof lid vents, so it is the safer option, but the carbonation will still go flat faster in a wide vessel. Nothing in this range is designed or described as a pressure-rated bottle.
Does the paint chip?
The coloured pieces are powder-coated, which is tough against everyday knocks and unhappy about abrasives and hard drops. Scouring pads dull it. A tiled kitchen floor beats it. Washing by hand with a soft cloth is the difference between a two-year finish and a five-year one.
