Greetings. My son has a “crisis”. He got his license last week, and has been driving the Yukon we have brought back from the dead. He is looking for a insulated coffee cup that fits the cup holders, without falling over. He either finds one that is too big to fit down in the cupholder, or too small to fit without tipping over.

What do you coffee drinkers in readerland suggest? Got a brand preference? Thanks

i have a tall/narrow one from Bison coolers that fits well. I think it is 18oz. the 20oz yeti style also fits ok, but doesn't quite touch the bottom. it rides a little better with a zippo in the bottom of the cup holder if you are on curvy roads. the 24oz tall/narrow Nalgene bottles fit perfectly also. this is for my 1990 burb center console cup holders.

I think my hyrdoflask is a taller one, but it's about the same diameter as a soda can. I think it's 24 oz, I don't fit my containers to my cup holders, so I just got a hydroflask since I watched project farm's video.

McGuyverism 101. A scrap piece of plastic pipe, some electrical tape wrapped around the pipe to make a snug fit, problem solved!!!

Maybe I should patent my idea??? Of course, if convenience stores, coffee shops, restaurants and the automakers had gotten together years ago and standardized this crap, there would be no need for fabrication.
Thanks for the suggestions.

keith and friends designed a cupholder for squares and no one appreciates the stock feature of every square body partially because of poor taste and partially because for others the glove box just falls out (unforseen hurdle)
Also look at that SPID Label, even gave us laminated coaster
