I am a fussy-pants when it comes to the container that holds my much-loved coffee. Any one surprised?
In order of preference: 24 ounce ceramic mug, paper cup, double-walled stainless steel thermos.
I don’t use a Yeti, Arctic or RTIC thermos (Garry uses and loves his RTIC), but wanted to put them side-by-side to see if they would pass muster.
Spoiler Alert: They pass muster!
Spoiler Alert #2: Any one of these would make a great gift!

A quick read-through and you can ascertain all three do the job they’re intended to do – but how to decide?
Some go on price: The RTIC and Arctic are the less expensive route.
Some go on reviews: All three have a 4.5 rating on Amazon.
Some go on aesthetics: Pick the design that speaks to your happiness quotient.
All I know is I better decide: Santa is making his list as I write!
What say you? Yeti – Arctic – RTIC?
