Hydro Flask 12oz Coffee with Flex Sip Lid Review (2 Weeks of Use)

[@PackHacker2]

Edit: This Hydro Flask is 12 ounces, not 12 liters, as stated in the opening of the video.

[@marianthelibrarian2274]

Glad you showed how the lid comes apart. It's all about lid cleaning for me. Way too gross and a go-to if they can't be thoroughly cleaned and dried.

[@NealRapoport]

I have a Hydroflask and its pretty nice. As good as my yeti.

[@debbr2304]

No instructions on the web site, thanks for posting. This will be my first hydro. I'm debating gearing the wide mouth with straw and purchasing this flex sip as an addon

[@sarajilani5425]

the water tension explanation and fix---thank you !!!!

[@PackHacker2]

Thanks for watching! 🤙 -Eric

[@jaschawalter3500]

12 liters? Must be the Tardis of drinkware! 😳😂

[@tricialouisse]

Great review! Excited to receive mine. I ordered the same size in sunflower color 🤩💕

[@PackHacker2]

That's awesome, Tricia. Let us know how you get on with it. Digging that Sunflower colorway too, just in time for summer! 🙌 - Rebecca

[@alyssagramer5848]

I do NOT experience a smooth flow of coffee with this little guy, and I’m so bummed! I’m a big hydro flask fan, but this lid is driving me crazy. Do you think I’m doing something wrong with it?

[@LMPANFILE]

I agree. I a bit disappointed with the lid. That’s why I came to this review. Am I missing something?

[@TCinSoCal]

Having same issue. Felt like $ wasted. I’ll try this twist thing described here but it’s like almost no coffee comes out. .. drinking coffee shouldn’t be work.

[@heleneleduc9675]

Same thing here: awful to put the pieces of the lid back together!

[@Adrian-pl3ui]

so do i get the one without the sip lip one?

[@webbryan1]

0:03 he obviously means to say 12 oz. Is the pressure build-up so bad when hot liquids are in?

[@v1d300]

At at the start I was like, damn this is going to expand or what to fit 12L.

[@xtinacoolan]

I was going to ask the question also would there be pressure build up with hot liquids. But you got no answer.....

[@liamlindy]

I may switch to this, because it seems really easy to clean the top; yeti hotshot lids have a lot of o rings to have to clean

[@PackHacker2]

If you do, let us know how you like it! 😃 -Eric

[@Applemaybay]

I prefer my hydro flask 16 oz tumbler I got a fortnight ago with my 20 oz water bottle leak proof and everything too

[@PackHacker2]

Thanks for sharing your insights! 🤙

[@XwytreX]

Don't know why but my flex sip lid doesn't keep my coffee warm for more than 2 hours! After awhile, my coffee in my hydroflask becomes lukewarm!

[@asianseyesRpretty2]

Is there a clear/white silicon gasket?

[@irenep7070]

can you drink cold coffee with straw with this mug?

[@MissMollyDodd]

So happy you guys made a review on this! Have two questions tho; 1, does this version or the 16 oz fit into a standard car cup holder? 2, is it compatible with other wide mouth lids? Greetings from Sweden :)

[@silverlining1973]

I don’t know about the car cup holder. But I do know that all wide mouth lids fit all wide mouth bottles. I’m looking at purchasing the 16 oz wide mouth coffee & that was definitely a huge bonus as I have the 32 oz wide mouth bottle with the basic lid. I don’t want 2 of each lid, either. :)

[@scrapgirl214]

Yes. It fits in the car cup holder. No problem.

[@CesarFalcon]

@@silverlining1973 It fits in most but with some it doesn't sit all the way in. As some car cup holders taper down . My 20oz sits fine but it wobbles a bit since it doesnt sit flat to the bottom. Hope that makes sense.

[@KarmaAndCouture]

I have the regular 16oz coffee flip lid on my Hydro Flask. Would there be no point in getting this lid, besides the handle?

[@seankillar123]

This new lid is leakproof/insulated as opposed to the flip lip

[@adriano8729]

Great video, I wonder does the opening of this cup take an Aeropress ?

[@YB-pm1vf]

Is it easy to open and close the Sip Lid with one hand? Like when you're driving and have it in a cupholder. All the clips I've seen seem to take some effort to twist with two hands

[@johnson7228]

no. it's a 2 hands operation.

[@shebyj]

It takes effort for sure!

[@CesarFalcon]

@@shebyj I think thats the price you pay for having a secure seal

[@diplomat_cat587]

It’s so cute!!

[@chemepuppie]

Yeah I got that color

[@juliomontero2452]

Good review thank you

[@PackHacker2]

Thanks for watching!

[@fall101985]

i just got the 20oz with the flex sip lid. besides the red gasket, there is another whitish/clear gasket/seal at the bottom side of the lid. how do you remove it for cleaning? how often should that other gasket/seal be cleaned?

[@professored7169]

Necro posting 📫 but I use a bamboo skewer to dig it out, just make sure to put it back in the way it was befor, flat side down, I clean mine at least once ot twice a month, I wrap a rectangle piece of paper towel on the blunt side of the skewer put water and soap on it and scrub the hard to reach places

[@DD-d6d3]

Does it leak?

[@tonyporenshenko425]

Kinda of a dumb question I got one of these and can't find any info on if I can use this for camping wanting to know if it can be used over camp fire if I remove lid to boil water

[@cinnamonbuns8031]

Does the bottle or lid change the taste of the coffee at all (some thermos do that, gives like an after taste)? I hope to use this for my hot latte. Thanks!

[@rchamy94]

no, this is good stuff.

[@wovoka]

I want 12 liters of coffee

[@Kelso_Belso]

I can’t get my flex sip lid off 😐😭😭😭😭😭

[@virginiacclub]

I couldn't either until someone helped me. Now I can't get it on properly

[@jodyrobbins4363]

Disappointed with the lid design. It leaks coffee between the lid and gasket which drips out when tipped to drink at the joint. Numerous shirts have been soiled by this dripping, ugh. I have taken the lid apart cleaned dried and reassembled it numerous times with same outcome. Any advice would be appreciated. Frustrated

[@PackHacker2]

We have not had any issues as you described, so we can’t offer any first-hand advice. It may be worth reaching out to Hydro Flask to see if they have any ideas! Thanks for watching, Jody. -Eric

[@psetiawan76]

When reassembling the red rubber, ensure the text is facing up. If facing down, water will spill from the seam.

[@pakistani8907]

it leaks I hate it

[@jameskolar9655]

12 litre? Wow!

[@PackHacker2]

Whoops! 😂

[@edyraper]

Does it hold hot for 12 hours? Really?

[@PackHacker2]

If you fill it up in the morning and sip all day, it’ll still be warm by the afternoon. It won’t be piping hot, but it’ll be warm! -Eric

[@NintendoNerdKim]

Anyone else having trouble taking apart the lid? I just received mine today and my lid won't unscrew counter clockwise after being in the closed position (red).

[@virginiacclub]

Best to use a towel or something to grip it. Bloody difficult...

[@NintendoNerdKim]

@@virginiacclub Glad I'm not the only one struggling. Thank you for the tip!

[@virginiacclub]

@@NintendoNerdKim still struggling 😪 my boyfriend actually struggled too and he is much stronger than me. I have emailed Hydro Flask directly hoping for a reply or replacement. As it looks so easy to open in this video...

[@NintendoNerdKim]

@@virginiacclub They will send you a replacement for sure. I asked for one, but still very tight and hard to remove.

[@virginiacclub]

@@NintendoNerdKim ah I see. Maybe we just have to use it more, and it will loosen up 🙏

[@saulgoodman8788]

imo i dont think insulated bottles that are this small aren't worth it. does anyone agree with me?

[@belindadavenport6577]

I like it when I’m traveling thru airports. Buy my coffee while waiting I a flight. Can put it into my purse. Don’t have to toss it and no hassle with a flimsy cup. Just a simple pleasure...😊

[@hanywhiskey]

I generally love small bottles. I bought the kids bottle with the flex sip lid and I use it for everything, water, coffee, frappuccinos.. I couldn't have bigger bottle than this though because I don't like heavy bottles

[@LadyBNatural]

It’s great for fitting into a lunch box

[@dtlounge7]

Like he said, it's obviously not great for water since it's too small. For coffee it's perfect!

[@DD-d6d3]

It's the exact size of a tall at Starbucks or a 12 oz at another cafe. I love it because it keeps me from drinking too much coffee. I use this as a refillable at cafes.

[@kallew34]

12 liter? xd

[@jaschawalter3500]

Would go for Yeti or Kleen Kanten IMHO

[@VicInCommentSection]

Thanks for the suggestion! I have spent way too many hours looking for a coffee travel mug and was thinking about purchasing this, but your mention of Kleen Kanteen made me do a bit more research. I think I'll be purchasing the Kleen Kanteen Insulated TKWide 12 oz with Café Cap .

[@DD-d6d3]

Why

[@nataliaeliseeva4422]

@@VicInCommentSection Hi! I have Kleen Kanteen Insulated TKWide 12 oz with Café Cap for 3 years now, make a coffee with milk every morning and the mug travel with me in my backpack (so it is bumpy :D) and no leaking so far. Really enjoy it, if I need to keep coffee warm longer, I just put a hot water in the cup for a few minutes to heat it, empty it and put my coffee in it :) The cap is easy to kleen, if you lost, there is a video on their web how to do it :)

[@VicInCommentSection]

@@nataliaeliseeva4422 Thanks!

[@intrinsicimagery]

12 ounces isn’t enough for coffee. What weird timeline are you living?

[@v1d300]

350ML in one sitting is good enough amount of coffee.

@@intrinsicimagery Ah so its just marketing tactic for you.

[@mikeapp1319]

Is the seal good enough that the bottle won't leak if it is is a backpack? Or does it need to always be held "up"?

[@PackHacker2]

Hey Mike, we didn't experience any spilling with this bottle even when we knocked it over, which is pretty impressive. We do recommend also checking out our full written review where we go into detail about the seal and our experience with it: packhacker.com/travel-gear/hydro-flask/12-oz-coffee-with-flex-sip-lid/ - Rebecca

[@rchamy94]

on the official website there are tons of reviews complaining that the lid can drip if it's not on a standing position, also mine sometimes will drip a lot or not at all.

[@SCFick318]

Water tension thing- you can also just slam it on the table as you would with a milk pitcher

[@julfactora9228]

anyone here having a metallic or plastic taste from the lid? I only put water in mine

[@mythoughts2355]

Got the 20 oz coffee. Had a challenge of putting together the lid. Taking apart was Easy.

[@sandramoreno601]

Can’t disassemble! Got stock . Need help please

[@QuieroCake]

Wow 12 litter in a small cup.. I want it

[@Joeylikecoffee]

Are you teasing the creator even though he corrected himself in the comments?..

[@Skymouth]

My lid will NOT come apart no matter how much I struggle with it

[@nathangriff6862]

Thanks for the review of another cool product. 12 is just a little small for my personal coffee addiction though. I think there are some in 14 or 16 ounce sizes, too. Maybe we can go all go back to work again soon and useone of these 12 oz cups for the commute though?

[@davidhirsch3163]

Nathan Griff I think the next one up is 18 oz.. I have the 18 oz.. this one would be fun.

[@rahneegultiano7648]

I want to use this for carbonated drink mostly coke no sugar but you recomended not to. Can i swap the lid with another one like the straw one?

[@DD-d6d3]

Any widemouth lid would fit

[@MRCnyc1]

can you compare this to the carter everywhere, pls thx

[@mixeddrinks8100]

I would say that the Carter Everywhere is a much better CUP, instead of a thermos that you carry around. it really isn't meant to be drank on the move or even in the car, it is a two hand affair, you got to find a place to sit the cap down, the interior of the Carter cup is way better for coffee though. Also the Carter does not fit in some cup holders.

[@MRCnyc1]

@@mixeddrinks8100 ok thanks i appreciate your response...pros and cons for both make it a tough choice. All the best, stay safe

[@Carlosediaz543]

Can I put tea in here as well? I drink both pretty often

[@PackHacker2]

Of course! -Eric

[@SS-gb1kd]

This is too much cleaning - too many parts. Is it that hard to just add a handle to the old flip lid? I cannot imagine it would be that difficult. I feel like hydro flask is complicating things. However, I appreciate the review so I know not to buy it. I’m going to wait for them to add handles to the flip lid. Hopefully they will consider it.

[@Andytheevien]

I am seriously considering buying this product. This new lid with the handle quotes it as "leak/spill proof" where as the old lids says nothing about the possibility of it leaking or not. According byo Hydroflask AU website. Also the old lids and body are on sale. So this is the future of the Coffee flask it seems for the brand. Edit: I tried out the lid and it was way too stiff for my liking. Stick with the old lid without the handle. Never had any problem.

[@johnson7228]

@@Andytheevien The only drag that I found was as you sip coffee, sometimes a drip or so remains where your lower lip would be. That drip then drops into the seam in between the upper and lower part of the top. Then when you take another sip, those drips end up on your shirt!

[@VicInCommentSection]

@@johnson7228 Are you talking about the Flex Sip lid or the older Flip lid?

[@johnson7228]

This turned out to be a faulty lid. Customer service shipped a new one. Problem gone. No drips or leaking. Great customer service.

[@johnson7228]

New twist lid. All fixed. HF sent me a replacement.

[@TimAZ]

9 to 12 hours of heat retention for 12 ounces of coffee?

[@silverlining1973]

If you take your coffee to go, it’d be nice to have hot coffee on lunch break. :)

[@EroticOnion23]

Silver Lining, hot coffee is only good for like 2hrs?? 0.o

[@BringANickel]

A coffee cup in only 5 handy pieces. NOPE.
