Purchased the Era bottle from Brumate via amazon. The handle was wonky when it arrived and the allen key screws on the handle would not tighten. I contacted brumate but because I had purchased from amazon (sold by amazon) and not amazon (sold by brumate), they would not refund or replace as it did not qualify for a warranty (BEWARE). needless to say a couple of weeks later the handle broke off and now I have a handle-less bottle which is not ideal.

I purchased two bronze leopard cups. The clear coat is peeling of these life time guaranteed cups. Do not purchase them. The company refuses to do ANYTHING for the issue. Their customer service is non existing. There cups were not used in the dishwasher, in a bag with loose change or even mis used. Don't fall for their "Life time guarantee" it's a lie!

Amazing bottle, so aesthetic and keeps water cold for so long. I love how leak proof it also is.

SAD, terrible customer service. I never received my product so I asked them to just cancel my order and refund me. Within 20 minutes they emailed me back that they had shipped my product. Now I have to pay to get my money back by shipping it back to them! Terrible company. I’m a business owner myself, and I would never treat my customers this way.

I have a few Brumate products but the era and the rotera I am not happy with at all. Had to replace them both water did not stay cold in them. Ice melted with about 4 hrs. I do not recommend these at all. I like the fact that the don’t leak but useless to keep something cold. I have had good experiences with the customer service but as far as these to products. 👎

I ordered 2 Brumate trio’s which appear to be ok. I also ordered a Nav XL which turned out to be too large for me. Apparently, because it was on sale, it was not returnable but that was not noted when I ordered it. I also ordered the mystery item which was supposed to have a value of $25-$40. My mystery item was a flask-24.99 and not something I can use and apparently that is not returnable either. A friend of mine had received a mystery item with their order and it was a really nice beverage cup, so I took a chance…never again.

POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE / QUALITY CONTROL. Bought the Era after waiting for months. Arrived with bottom peeling off / scratched. Rather than send me a new Era, they wanted me to superglue on a new base!! SO BAD! I refused & then they wanted me to cover postage to return it. Disappointed because I really thought they stood by their brand.

We have loads of Brumates and they really are decent quality overall. Well made, proper rubber bottoms, no "sharp-edge" lip when you're drinking without a lid, class leading heat retention and the screw-on type leakproof lids 100% work. The lids do have a habit of getting jammed in the cups (whether through expansion or accidental misthreading) they are easy enough to get off once you get the knack. Plus you tend to learn pretty quickly how to avoid getting them jammed in the first place. HOWEVER... if you break your lid or it becomes worn out (this happens a lot - we have a stack of lids in various states of uselessness - cracked, crazed, fogged, dropped, sealing ring loose etc.) you literally have zero chance of ever getting a replacement. BevLock lids are NEVER in stock at BruMate.com (I've given up after months of waiting) and you can't buy them anywhere else. Plus some lids - including for current models like the 32oz "Nav" mug - aren't even listed. This problem is even worse when you are a non-USA customer. Really great product let down massively by crappy after sales. No doubt they just want you to buy another whole mug/tumbler instead of a replacement lid, which I absolutely refuse to do on principle. Companies like these who use "saving the planet" as a sales tactic make an absolute mockery of themselves with nonsense like this. It's a shame because the products themselves are decent and would otherwise last a long time.
