These are 16 oz. cups (pint). They are made from 18/8 stainless steel which means no BPA or toxins. Since they are stainless steel they are very easy to clean and maintain.
These cups are very durable. They can be dropped over and over without them breaking. They can be banged up against in travel packs with out issues. The cups are electropolished which after some research means added protection against rusting. With these cups being so durable they are great for kids during their dropsie phase of life. They are great to have in your back pack for hiking or camping.
Now the cups are made from steel. So you can use it for hot or cold drinks. The glass will transfer the inside temperature to the outside holding surface of the cup. So beware if you are drinking something really hot, you will need to have some form of insulater sleeve to keep from burning your hands. If you are drinking something that is chilled or over ice it will make the outside of the cup cold and it will sweat. If you plan to use these cups outside you will need to make sure and have them in the shade because if they are in the direct sulight they get really hot to the touch.
When it comes to cleaning these cups it is super easy to do. They are stainless steel so nothing really sticks to the surface for the most part. Simple soap and water will get them clean. They are also dishwasher safe if you have that as an option.
If you are looking for some cups that will survive a beating for many years that does not transfer any toxins these are what you might be after. I think they are best for those kids that like to take cups outside and drink from and forget since they can take so much abuse without ruining the cups. I would like to thank Commerce Solutions and its affiliates for sending me a pair of these stainless steel cups to try out and share my opinion.
