I don't need a lot of things for a cup. I don't like hiking. I don't like camping. I am not a person who rides a bike. It is not a travel mug for me. I don't like coffee. I am a fan of both hot and cold coffee. I would like to introduce you to the Frank Green 3-in-1 insulated drink holder, which is perfect for those of you who drink a lot of coffee. The goldilocks cup is the secret sauce.
The Frank Green product that came closest to being my ideal vessel was the 595-ml bottle. I was sure I found the brand for me with colorful options and strong materials. I was able to find the right cupmaker for me, but not the right product yet.
You can put a lid on it.
I thought the Frank Green bottle was what I was looking for. Problems revealed themselves after some serious commute. It was difficult to find room in my bag before I set off on my merry way. Frank's larger option was too large for my shoulder bag of choice.
The niggles mounted when you got to the office. I was wondering if I brought the push-button lid and the straw lid. I wondered if I had washed them. Did I wash both parts well enough? I usually waited until I got to work before I had my first cup of coffee. Most of the time, the answer was "no."
The larger Frank Green cup has a thin metal rim around the top, similar to the Chillys Series 2 cup. My hand would pick up nicks if I did a quick wipe at work or at home. The slim rim at the top of the cup creates a skin-pinching problem when wedging our hand inside to clean because of a seam running up the inside of the cup. I had to cram my fingers in as if I were trying to get those last few Pringles from the bottom of a can, because the 595 liter was the worst culprit. The initial coffee cup joy had given way to a daily grind. It wasn't going to work.
I retreated to the smaller version of Frank's cup because it wasn't the convenience champ I was looking for. The chaotic cleaning was still going on. It took several months for it to pass. I would occasionally use the cup, return to a mug or not use a cup at all, even though the coffee shop gave me an option to reuse it.
It's the size of it.
I was browsing for a new perfect container as I pondered over whether different combinations of lids would work, or whether an altogether new style of cup would be the solution, and I came back to the Frank Green site. I looked at it. There is a 3-in-1. A holder of drinks. It was simple, clean, and stylish. There were no essential accessories to remember. I didn't waste a moment. I put my order in.
