Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Stanley 40oz Quencher fit into standard car cup holders?
Yes. The Quencher H2.0 features a slim, tapered base measuring 2.95 inches (7.5 cm) in diameter, engineered specifically to fit comfortably in virtually all vehicle cup holders.
How can I make my Stanley tumbler 100% leakproof in a backpack?
By installing a 3-piece silicone spill stopper kit (straw seal, one-way air vent plug, and straw cap). This creates a watertight seal allowing you to pack the tumbler horizontally without any leakage.
Can I put hot coffee or carbonated drinks in the Stanley Quencher?
The tumbler retains heat for up to 7 hours. However, when drinking boiling-hot or carbonated beverages, sip directly from the open lid mouth rather than through the straw to prevent pressure buildup.
What is the difference between the Stanley H2.0 and the older 1.0 model?
The H2.0 FlowState model is constructed with 90% recycled 18/8 stainless steel, features a revamped 3-position lid with improved splash resistance, and adds soft comfort-grip silicone inserts to the handle.
