The famous Stanley mug, formally known as the “Adventure Quencher Travel Tumbler”, is getting an update! This article has all the details of the new Stanley mug.

The new Stanley mugs won’t be released until September 13, 2022.
The new Stanley mugs, the Quencher H2.0, will initially only be available direct from their website, Stanley1913.com. You can sign-up for e-mail alerts – that’s what we did! We anticipate it will be quite difficult to get your hands on the new Stanley mug, based on history (more on that below, where we get into the popularity of these cups!).
You can currently view the new collection online, but everything is currently unavailable for purchased (marked as sold out, even though it just hasn’t been released yet).
Pay close attention if you’re trying to buy the new version of the Stanley mug, that you don’t accidentally buy the old one. The old version of the mugs (called the Adventure Quencher) are still selling in stores and on-line at the same price of the soon-to-be released new version. In fact, Stanley recently released new colors of the Stanley mug (the old Stanley mug, the Adventure Quencher), which we’ve seen at several local stores. Stanley removed several of the old versions of the cup from their website, but still have the old 4oz, 20 oz and 30 oz tumblers available for sale on their website (with no handles).
The keywords you’ll want to look for when buying the NEW Stanley are “H2.0 Flowstate“. This identifies it as the new version, and not the old version.
Stanley announced the new, upcoming release of the Stanley mug, called the Quencher H2.0 Flowstate, on August 29, 2022.

Stanley also made announcements on their Instagram and TikTok showing off the new cups.
The cups are also available on Stanley’s official Amazon storefront.

Here’s a list of the major changes made to the new Stanley mug:
We also noticed the dimensions changed, ever so slightly. For the 40 oz:
With all the major changes (i.e. improvements) made to the Stanley Quenchers, we thought we would see a change in the price, but are pleasantly surprised. The price of the new Stanley mugs and cups stayed the same!
Another thing that stayed the same is the weight. The 40 oz. Stanley mug weighs 1.4 lbs (in both the old and new versions).
Just like the old Stanley mug, the new Stanley mug is dishwasher safe, BPA-free, double-wall vacuum insulation and a powder coat finish
Both versions of the Stanley mug boast:
Here is a look at the new and improved Stanley lid:
For comparison purposes, here is a look at the old lid:
You’ll notice that Stanley doesn’t refer to new Stanley lid as “leak-proof” in the press release or on their website. Instead, they say:
The new Stanley mugs/cups (the Quencher H2.0 FlowState) is not actually leak-proof (and doesn’t claim to be),
However, the new Stanley Quencher H2.0 FlowState does leak less than the previous version, the old Adventure Quencher – when the straw is in or it is fully closed.
Here is a Tiktok from @thebuyguide, which shows a comparison between the new and old versions when knocked over:
Although we’re focused on the “mug” version of the Stanley in this article (as it’s the most popular), they also offer other designs. They’re all called tumblers.
Below are the original prices and sizes that the new Stanley Quencher H2.0 Flowstate were offered in at launch:

It’s best to buy Stanley products (tumblers, mugs, etc.) direct from the Stanley website or from authorized retailers.
A full list of authorized retailers can be found here.
Some popular authorized retailers where you can buy Stanley mugs includes:
The authorized retailers don’t carry the full range of Stanley products.
It’s also important to note that the NEW Stanley mugs were only initially for sale directly from their website.
The Stanley mugs (formally known as the 40 oz. Adventure Quencher [old]/Quencher H2.0 [new]), have seen a huge rise in popularity the past few years. The rise in popularity has been fueled by social media, but for good reason.
The Stanley mugs are huge, keep water cold, and fit in a car cup holder.
They have a cult-like following, who collect the various colors.
With so many people already owning the old version (Adventure Quencher), many may be wondering if the new lids are compatible with the old cups. The major spills caused by knocking over the Stanley mug are probably the biggest complaint.
The Good News – YES, the new and improved Stanley Quencher H2.0 lids are compatible with the old cups (Adventure Quencher).
You can find the Stanley Quencher H2.0 lids in the Stanley Amazon store
Is it worth it?
We plan on buying the new Stanley 40 oz. mug. It’s a great price for a 40 oz. stainless steel insulated cup. Yes, there are other similar brands on the market, but the stand-out feature for us is that it’s cup holder friendly.
This is perfect for busy moms on the go – to bring along while running errands, doing school pick-up and drop-offs. Great for longer road trips too!
We much prefer reusable stainless steel water bottles as opposed to single-use water bottles. We love that this product has hit main-stream popularity! if it means less people using plastic water bottles!
Our favorite thing about the updated Stanley mug is the new and improved lid design. Although we don’t have the old version, this definitely seems like a huge improvement! With kids running around, drinks getting knocked over is inevitable, so at least with the new lid design, the mess will be less!
We do have some concerns over the new “comfort grip”. We like the idea in theory, as it seems it would be more pleasant and comfortable to hold. However, we have concerns about how it will wear and wash. Will the comfort-grips fall off after a while? Will dirt get in between the comfort grip and stainless steel? Will it stain? Wash ok? It also seems like the new handle design will harbor more germs.
Overall, we are very excited to try the new Stanley mug (despite our concerns).
Once we get our hands on one, we will be sure to report back with a full review!
