I love this cup. But Yeti really should not advertise it as a 16 ounce cup, because it clearly isn't. 12 ounces of liquid is about the max you can put in it and fit the lid on top, and even that is a stretch. However, I usually drink 8 or 10 ounces of coffee at a time, which makes this cup about perfect.

The cup fits into a cup holder, looks good on a desk (without looking too bulky) and I like the sip lid. The magnetic slide is easy to remove and clean and has a satisfying click open and close. You can also swap it out with cool colors. The slide isn't perfectly leak proof, but it will prevent spills. I tipped it over a few times on my desk and as long as I flip it back over within 3-5 seconds, then nothing will leak out (or at most one drop), so its pretty effective. It holds temperature better than the wide yeti mugs. I have switched all my coffee cups from the wide yeti mugs to this cup. It is more comfortable to hold, looks better on my desk, fits in a cup holder, and holds temperature better. I keep buying new colors every time they come out with a new a new seasonal one and have amassed a large collection of this mug. It is just the perfect mug for 8-10 ounces of coffee. In a pinch it can hold 12 ounces (barely). But if you want something that is 14+ ounces, then get the next size up, this cup is too small despite it being sold as 16 ounces.

My attached photo shows what 10 ounces of coffee looks like in this cup. You can see it is pretty full. It is a few millimeters below the lid when you put the lid on. 12 ounces would touch the lid. Anything more and the lid is not possible.

This is marketed as a 16-oz container but in reality, it holds 14 oz with the lid on. To get a true 16 ounces into this, you have to leave the lid off and fill the mug completely to the brim...effectively diminishing the ability to keep the drink hot. (Without the lid, the Yeti acts like any other coffee mug.) To actually use this product as it's intended (i.e. with the lid on to retain the heat), you can only pour 14 oz. into the cup. So in reality, this should be marketed as a 14-oz cup rather than 16 ounces. With the lid on, it does its normal superb Yeti job in keeping my coffee (or tea) piping hot for several hours; again, though, it should be marketed - in my opinion - as a 14-oz capacity. Even if you're not drinking a scalding hot coffee, who wants to fill the mug completely to the very brim, causing you to have to carefully sip off the first couple drinks before you can use the mug? This is a 14-oz drink...not 16. I love my Yeti products but I'm a bit disappointed at them marketing this as a 16-oz cup when - for its specific intents and purposes - it really holds 14 ounces.

New size / shape - 16 oz. So, here is a new offering - slightly wider and not as tall - a little “chunky”. Fits hand nicely and is a welcome addition. Many (and I agree) say this is similar in size to the Red Solo Cup. But wait - didn’t we already have a 16 oz stackable (pint) cup - YES! Yeti has changed how they measure capacity. The original 16 oz cup is now measured to the very top (totally full) which is 20 ounces - meaning it is now sold as a 20 ounce cup. Thus, opening the way for this new cup - when measured to the very top is the “new” 16 ounce product. Evidently Yeti is using this new measuring method for many of their products. No complaints really, just make sure you know exactly what you are buying and the measured capacity, verse what is realistic / useable capacity.

Don't buy from Yeti.com or DicksSportingGoods.com. Go in-store to your local retailer, because when they ship it, they only wrap in thin paper. It will get dented and rub marks. I can hear the box clang when the delivery driver puts the box on my porch. And, the warranty process is not easy. Then if they grant you a replacement, they ship it the same way, and you are at risk of damage to the replacement, too. When you buy premium products, they should be protected. Think Apple. Literally every time I place an order I have damages. I have been told by the person on the phone how to fix the abrasion marks. Why is it my responsibility??! You shipped it poorly. Can't you protect it with bubble wrap? I shouldn't hear anything bouncing off the next thing. I shouldn't have to worry, 'oh how bad is it this time?' and then be afraid to go through the process of claims and I can't upload enough pictures to show all the damage, and now I'm living with expensive damaged products. I wonder if your competitors protect their products better.
