Corkcicle earns mixed reviews: its insulated bottles and tumblers reliably keep drinks cold for hours and hot for a commute, and the brand’s distinctive designs and Disney collaborations attract devoted fans. However, repeated complaints cite chipping paint, porous or smelly lids, occasional leaks and ill-fitting lids, lack of dishwasher durability, and isolated breakage—leaving some users questioning overall quality and consistency.

  • Love my Corkcicle bottle so much! It’s the perfect size. It doesn’t leak when I tip it over. The bottle keeps my drink cold even overnight and through the day. Love how many different designs there are, but love the sparkle on mine.

  • Easy to quickly hand wash each time at the end of a day great quality and does exactly what it says easy to use and refill each time with whatever you’re drinking and with ice if you’re using it for a drink too

  • The plastic in the Corkcicle lids is absolutely disgusting. First wash in dishwasher infused detergent flavor deep into the pores of the plastic. Every cup of coffee after that tastes like Cascade detergent. I read this was a common complaint. I bought three of these and two of them have never been used for anything but water. The ones I use for water both have intractable mold infestations in the lids. I have tried everything from vinegar and baking soda, isopropyl, boiling water, to sunlight and nothing will remove the mold flavor from the lids. The plastic in the lids is seemingly porous and toothy in texture which causes it to absorb whatever it comes into contact with and make cleaning impossible. Avoid Corkcicle cups at all costs. There are plenty of other brands without these problems.

  • My Corkcicle water bottle truly keeps my beverage cold for a long time. Its wood-looking design is definitely unique. I feel this is for people who care about the look of the bottle, which is fine. I can already tell that the paint is coming off just a little.

  • I have a 16 oz insulated mug from Disney World. It's cute and does a good job of keeping hot things hot and cold things cold. I wish it were dishwasher safe, as it's my only mug that isn't so I reach for it less.

  • Love their water bottles, but I find that the rubber bottoms come off with wear and another one I had started flaking. Obsessed with the metal straw though and it keeps my water extra cold and the light pink is extra cute

  • The corkcicle wine tumblers are a must have for the summer if you are by the lake or pool. It keeps my beverages nice & chilled. They are the perfect size & the lid works great. They don't leak at all.

  • I don't love the drinkware made by Corkcicle but I also don't hate them. There is nothing about it them that makes them stand out from other brands. Their products are not necessarily expensive, but they do cost a bit more than other brands that I think are better quality. Honestly I just don't think they are worth their price tag. If I am going to spend that much on a bottle I figure I mine as well pay just a little more for the real deal of a more trendy brand.

  • Tbh, I have more Corkcicle items than I care to admit (ever lean into a brand a little too hard?) and the quality could be better compared with other brands. It's taken them too long to get on the dishwasher-safe bandwagon, and even if it says "dishwasher safe," the color still starts fading and chipping (see attached photo of my coffee mug). My favorite items are their backpack coolers (which are holding up well 2+ years later), the shape of the bottle makes it easy to hold, and the Sport Sling for hiking, amusement parks, festivals, etc., since it fits a good amount of stuff in it. The commuter cup's 360-degree drinking lid that closes is great for those who commute and wanna throw a drink in their bag (but still has paint chipping) Edit: attached photo of my “dishwasher safe” glass stemless wine glass that is warping and somehow letting in water into the sealed area

  • My corkcicle is very well loved, but I don’t feel like it’s quite as high quality as my other brands. That said, it is still a regular in my to-go cup rotation and I still love the brand. It’s just not quite as sturdy.

  • Product itself seems okay. Customer service is a nightmare to deal with. Do NOT ask them for a return after the 30 day window, they will respond with so much attitude you’ll be sorry you even asked. As a Star Wars fan I’m really disappointed in this treatment from a company that doesn’t understand the importance of kindness to your target audience.

  • Received as a gift for Christmas. I had never heard of this brand before and received a broken product. I didn’t notice an issue until after I threw away the box and tried to wash it the entire handle nearly snapped off (the bottom part of the handle fully separated and the top part is cracked and could be pulled off easily). Note I tried to post this review to the Corksicle website directly but they took down my negative review.

  • I bought a black and white coffee cup on a visit to my sister in Delaware. The lid for the black coffee cup didn't fit snugly, while it worked in the white cup. I wrote them and said there was a manufacturing problem, sent a picture of the cup, offered to send it back at y cost, and asked for a replacement. They have used very rigid standards, like having a receipt, to respond to my request. The cups are faulty and the customer service sucks. Find another vendor with similar cups.

  • Corcksicle x Disney is adorable. I was able to buy the Sully one. It keeps my drinks super cold in the heat and hot in the cold. It holds 44 oz of liquid so it’ll last a long time. I love all the different Disney designs and can’t wait to take it to Disneyland. Definitely worth the price and it’ll last because of the quality.

  • Pricey but they are the best stainless steel bottles on the market. They currently have a collaboration with Disney. I wish they had a Cinderella option but, in lieu of that, their white/blue/gold Disney princess tumbler is gorgeous. I'm also seriously loving their Disney 100 Mickey Mouse sling but I'm waiting for it to go on sale because $70 is a little too much for a water bottle holder.

  • Works equally as well as a S'well bottle, Yeti, or a Hydroflask, but I love that these have a specific look and vibe that sets them apart for bartending supplies. Definitely recommend their bar-focused products for that specific niche.

  • I purchased the Corcicle Air that is inserted frozen into a bottle to cool the beverage quickly. I tried it with water, with wine, with juice, and found it fairly unremarkable. I had high hopes for the product and its ease of use, but it never got my beverages as cold as I wanted.

  • A little pricey, but great bottles. I always take mine to travel because it keeps drinks cold FOREVER>. I recently brought it to Cuba and was using it for beer. I closed it and put it in my bag half full and took a nap on the beach... in the heat... two hours later, still cold!

  • I have used my corkcicle products for a few years now, and I really like them. I must include (based on other reviews) that I don't have a dishwasher, so everything gets hand washed. They have held up really well! The most appealing things to me is their licensing designs - for this reason especially they make great gifts.
