A Travel Mug with a Handle—Because Gravity Is Overrated
Same SmoothSip Slider, Just with a Handle
All the features that made the SmoothSip Slider your fave — leak-proof lid, SmoothSip spout, hot/cold stainless steel insulation—are still here. The only difference? A handle that makes sipping (and carrying) even smoother.
If you’ve been looking for a travel mug with a handle (for those morning commutes) or just want something extra grippy, your life’s about to change.
Designed for Daily Life (and Deep Space)
Houston, we have a handle.
Finally, a travel mug that makes carrying your coffee as easy as sipping it. The handled SmoothSip Slider comes with all your favorite features, as well as a handle that makes mornings (and missions) easier to manage.
As for gravity? Nice try.
From car cupholders to office desks to (hypothetical) space pods, this mug is designed to keep up—and keep spills out of your orbit.
Which SmoothSip Slider Is Right for You?
The Original SmoothSip Slider
- Slim, sleek design that fits easily anywhere
- Hasn’t met a cupholder it didn’t like
- Perfect for minimalists who prefer to hold their cup
- Comes in 12 oz and 20 oz sizes
The Handled SmoothSip Slider
- Built-in handle for extra sturdy grip
- Cupholder friendly (24 oz), but the 12 oz only fits in some cupholders
- Ideal for desks, road trips (it calls shotgun!), or couches
- Comes in 12 oz and 24 oz sizes
So, Which One Should You Get?
- Always on the move? The original SmoothSip Slider is fashionable, functional, and fits just about any cupholder—from your car to stroller to shopping cart.
- Want a cozy grip and classic mug feel? The handled SmoothSip Slider was practically made for desks, couches, and anywhere you want to sit back and enjoy your sips.
Either way, your coffee’s guaranteed to stay hot (or cold) and ready without ever spilling a drop. Our kind of cup.
What Makes It the Best Coffee Tumbler with a Handle?
It’s Spill-Proof—Even Upside Down
Gravity hates to see it coming. While other coffee cups won’t think twice about leaking or spilling, the handled SmoothSip Slider can go upside down (and all around) while keeping your outfit (or space suit) free of any coffee.
Go ahead, shake it. We dare you.
It Keeps Drinks Hot or Cold for Hours
Hot coffee that actually stays hot. Iced tea that doesn’t go sad and sweaty. Thanks to double-wall stainless steel, your drink ignores the laws of time, space, and office AC units.
It’s Cute. Obviously.
Yes, it’s functional. Yes, it’s durable. But most importantly? It’s pretty enough to make other mugs jealous. Bonus points if you match it with your outfit.
Stainless Steel vs Ceramic: Which Is Right for You?
Team stainless or team ceramic? It’s like choosing between brunch spots—you can’t lose. While both have their charms, some coffee lovers have a strong preference. Want to know more? We broke down all the differences between stainless steel vs ceramic for you.
Whatever your choice, both versions of the SmoothSip Slider give you the same sleek, spill-proof performance—for caffeinated sips without spilling a drop.
Can You Handle Meeting Your New Hero?
