Instead of a lid that goes on top, the Apex's stopper fits down inside so you can drink directly from the edge of the vessel - just like a normal cup. Sip naturally from any side, 360˚ around. The patent-pending stopper regulates flow for the perfect sip without splashes or overflow. All-around aroma venting allows full-sensory enjoyment of your favorite brew.

The Apex has been designed from the ground up for super easy cleaning. The stopper is a single seamless part - there's no hidden crevices, no disassembly required, nowhere for gunk to hide! Down below, the vessel has a wide opening to easily fit a sponge or brush. The vessel's microscopically-slick electropolished interior resists stains and odors. When it's this easy to keep clean, your drink will always taste the way it should.

With a twist of your fingers the stopper seals tight, securely recessed inside the vessel. The single silicone gasket creates a reliable leakproof seal so you can conveniently carry the Apex in a bag or purse without worrying about messy spills and stains.

The vacuum insulated double-wall construction keeps hot beverages toasty for over 4 hours, staying cool and comfortable to the touch. Iced drinks stay cold all day with no messy condensation on the outside. The Apex will keep any beverage hot or cold for hours, so you can fill it with 16 ounces of any beverage you like: coffee, tea, iced and carbonated drinks, or a little beer or wine.

The Apex has durable components and finishes so it can go on the top rack of your dishwasher. It's entirely BPA and BPS free, and there are absolutely no coatings, paint, or lining inside the vessel.
