Yeti’s New Coffee Mugs Are Durable, Desirable and Cheap

After a limited-edition reissue earlier this year, the best version of Yeti’s go-to coffee cup is back and here to stay.

Yeti’s ceramic-lined coffee cups are many things but collectible may no no longer one of them.

After a limited restock earlier this year, the highly desirable variant of the brand’s classic stainless steel Stackable Mug is back in stock.

And, according to Yeti, it isn’t going anywhere.

From grail to

This version, which comes in two sizes, was first released in 2023 as part of the brand’s fall Garage Sale — an annual event that sees Yeti test the waters (and fans’ wallets) with one-offs of its most popular products.

Limited in nature, the item quickly found its way onto the secondhand market, where prices started at $70 … per cup.

However, rarity only played one part in the mug’s desirability among collectors, fans and everyday java heads.

The cup features Yeti’s proprietary DuraSip Ceramic Lining, a coating that doesn’t just prevent staining and scratches but may actually improve the taste of coffee.

Anyone who has ever sipped from an unlined stainless steel cup knows that acidic beverages can often take on a metallic taste, especially if left out for hours at a time (something the insulated nature of the mug actually supports).

Color for days

Of course, performance is great. But the best part of this permanent reissue may be the variety of choice.

When the ceramic-lined mugs first came out, they were limited to just two colors — green and tan.

Now that they’re a part of Yeti’s full-time roster, they come in over half a dozen core colorways, as well as two seasonal hues, “Black Forest Green” and “Cherry Blossom.”

Pricing starts at $30.
