Form factor: sleek build, useful dual-lid design The drinking lid on the Kinto Travel Tumbler. Visible is one of three gaskets used in the flask. Image: @kintothailand While this means the tumbler is extremely watertight, the extensive disassembly creates quite a headache when it’s time to clean up. The multiple gaskets also tend to harbour odours, which coffee with its oils and aromas tends to create.

Arriving in an unassuming box, the Kinto itself has an austere design, with sleek lines and minimal branding and design flourishes. I got the 350ML stainless steelversion which proved to be just large enough for users like myself who aren’t in the habit of guzzling their beverages. Moving on, we find the defining feature of the Kinto Travel Tumbler – its double lid mechanism. Essentially two plastic pieces that screw into each other, you’ll remove one or both lids depending on if you’re drinking or if you’re refilling the flask. Both feature silicone gaskets for waterproofing. The Kinto Travel Tumbler with the top lid open. Image: Ian LingKeep drinks hot (65°C/149°F) for 6 hours. Keep drinks cold (8°C/46°F) for 6 hours. For maximum insulation efficiency, preheat or precool the tumbler prior to use by filling in a bit of hot/cold water for 1-2 mins. The Kinto Travel Tumbler is leakproof. Close the lid and cap tightly to prevent spills or leakage when carrying. Attach the silicone rings correctly. Keep the product upright to prevent accidental spills or leakage. Ensure the cap is tightly closed when opening the lid. Be careful when drinking hot beverages. Even if the tumbler surface is cool, the drink may still be hot. Do not leave the product under high temperatures such as in a car. Do not leave the product with the beverage inside for a long time as it may spoil or cause rust on the tumbler. Coffee tumblers are a dime a dozen, and for such seemingly simple implements, the wide range of prices is rather impressive. Coming in at the pricier end of things, the Kinto Travel Tumbler retails from about SGD 50, pitting itself against fellow insulated mugs and purpose-built coffee-focussed options.

While it’s still stellar in the leakproof department, it means you’ll have to think twice before placing it next to documents or electronics.

High-quality stainless steel helps to preserve the rich aroma and flavor of the drink. The smooth electro-polished interior prevents odors and stains, letting you keep it clean and fresh.The cap is simple without excess details and you can drink from any angle pleasantly, like drinking out of a glass or mug. A special structure catches ice cubes and drinks come out in perfect amounts. Drinking is stress-free until the very last sip. Though the lids are effective at keeping the mug spillproof and airtight, the lid of the Kinto also delivers a solid drinking experience with an optimally-designed lip. The drinking experience rivals that of regular coffee mugs, and is rather pleasing. Downsides: odours, cleaning & condensation Its vacuum insulation is remarkable, and freshly brewed V60 coffee at 7:30 a.m. comfortably stays piping hot till past noon. Kinto advertises six-hour performance for both hot (above 60ºC/149ºF) and cold (below 8ºC/46ºF) beverages, but I found that solid ice lasted well past the 12H mark when not regularly opened.

With the Kinto, it means three separate silicone gaskets: two for the topmost lid and one for the lower one.
