The List: Best Stanley Cup Dupes, Per Product Experts

 

1. Simple Modern 40-ounce Tumbler

The Simple Modern Stanley Cup is a “dead ringer” for the real thing according to Today’s Parent. “Just like the OG Stanley, it keeps beverages hot or cold for long periods of time. It’s cupholder-friendly, leak-resistant, stylish, and fun to carry.

“Similar to the Stanley tumbler, the base of this water bottle fits into a standard cup holder,” according to Food Network. “It comes with double-walled insulation and is leak-resistant, meaning your hot beverage stays hot and your cold ones stay cold. Compared to the Stanley tumbler, reviewers love how well-insulated the straws are.”

RollingStone thinks this dupe is better than the Stanley. “Simple Modern’s tumbler is just as large and just as in charge. The tapered shape makes it car cupholder-friendly, it’s got a carrying handle, and the double-wall insulation keeps drinks hot or cold for hours. We also like that the lid is not only leak-resistant but lets you place the reusable straw in four different positions.”

2. Hydrapeak Roadster 40oz Tumbler

The website What The Fab raves about this Stanley lookalike, calling it “one of the most practical and stylish Stanley dupes” on the market. “This Insulated Travel Tumbler is the perfect size to give you all-day hydration, and the two-in-one lid design lets you sip drinks from the cup or through a straw. Hydrapeak’s Handle and Straw Lid Tumbler has excellent cold and heat retention—it keeps drinks cold for 34 hours or hot for 10 hours.”

The Passionate Penny Pincher is passionate about this one writing the cup is “a full 40 ounces of 5-star reviews – plus the added benefit of being LEAKPROOF!  Another win with a very build similar to the Stanley tumbler with handle – and lots of pretty colors to choose from.”
