I finally found a new coffee tumbler alike my old one that I had for at least 12 years and left in the hotel in South Korea. For more than a year I was searching all the Starbucks that I come across for the same type of tumbler but was unsuccessful.
Of all places, I found it in a Starbucks in Paris. Wasn’t even intending to step into a Starbucks in Paris but I had to go to a shop nearby and it only opened at 1430. I planned it such, that I found a restaurant within walking distance to have lunch and since I had some time still to kill I stepped into the Starbucks across the street to check out the carrot cake and maybe get a speciality coffee just to try something new. Lo and behold, right in front of me, when I stepped in, the tumbler! It is the opposite if my old tumbler which was green with a black rubber band. this one is in black with a green band. I am so happy I found it again.
Among all the other tumblers that I have bought and the 3 other ones I bought from Starbucks, none of them survived more than a few months. The drinking lid always broke off in a matter of months. Never locks well enough and I always encountered leaking unless I hold it. I could never leave it in my bag without fearing it would spill coffee all over. The other tumbler in the photo is one such tumbler. Also from Starbucks but the drinking lid is broken and it doesn’t lock as securely as the other one.
Just wanted to sing praises and thank the universe for listening to me when I was desperately searching for a new tumbler. Now I can have my hot/cold coffee without fear again. I am a happy camper!
Toodeloos!
