Using this Hydro Flask cooler cup is easy. Just pour your 12 - oz beverage or place a slim can inside. The flexible collar at the bottom helps keep it stable. To get the best temperature - preserving performance, make sure the collar fits tightly around the can. When it comes to cleaning, you can simply throw it in the dishwasher as it's dishwasher - safe. But avoid using abrasive cleaners to keep the Color Last™ powder coat finish looking good. Also, since it's made of 18/8 pro - grade stainless steel, it's strong, but be careful not to drop it from a high place to prevent dents.
