Background
The Starbucks Stainless Steel Tumbler is one of the first tumbler that I bought years back. I would go to Starbucks and look at their merchandise, while I order a cup of coffee. The stainless steel tumbler caught my attention as it has a solid color, a simple Starbucks logo, and minimalist design. As such, I decided to purchase it.
The Product
The Starbucks Stainless Steel Tumbler comes in 2 colors, one in polished stainless steel and the other in black. The one that I bought is the stainless steel color. The capacity of the tumbler is 16oz, which converts to about 473ml. The lid of the tumbler is a screw-on type which is black in color. The locking flapper has a rubber portion to stop water from leaking out of the tumbler. The bottom of the tumbler is rubber to make is non-slip.
Here are some of the pictures I have taken on the tumbler:

Usage
I have been using the Starbucks Stainless Steel Tumbler from the day I bought it till present. As compared to the RTIC 30oz tumbler which I have, I notice it doesn't hold the coldness as long as the latter. The lid is secure, but the rubber portion on the locking flapper is detachable. You have to be careful while washing the tumbler. I lost the rubber portion while washing once, and I ended up having to buy another tumbler. So now I have 2 of the same tumbler.
A point to take note, as the size of the tumbler is 16oz (around 473ml), you will need to top up water a few times if you drink lots of water.

Conclusion
If you are looking for a tumbler, you can consider the Starbucks Stainless Steel Tumbler. But what may draw you back is the price and the size of the tumbler. I bought this at SGD35 from the Starbucks store, which includes a free drink that you can redeem within the expiry date. But with that price, I can find other tumblers online which provide a bigger capacity. I suggest that you can look around for other tumblers before making a decision.
If you want to get this tumbler, you can get it at the Starbucks store, which is subjected to availability.
