- Café Plastic Reusable Tumblers (Set of 12) 32-ounce Iced-Tea Cups, Coastal | Value Set of Restaurant Style Drinking Glasses, Stackable, BPA-free, Made in the USA | Top-rack Dishwasher Safe

I’m reviewing three items I purchased separately hoping they would work together as a set. They did!! These are dishes for my daughter’s new apartment that has very little cabinet space so her stoneware set is just too bulky. So I decided to pick up some Corelleware since it is durable, compact and lightweight. I really thought I would find some items that might “work” together, but never imagined I’d find EXACTLY the right shades of blue to match everything. I guess the Household Goods Gods were smiling on me that day! #1 - Corelle 18-Piece Service for 6, Chip Resistant, Ocean Blues Dinnerware Set, These round plates and bowls have a modern yet playful rows of dots along the edge in three shades of blue including navy, periwinkle and teal. The plate itself is bright white. The bowls have a navy blue rim. (In the Amazon pictures it looks black, but it truly does look blue in person.) I have used Corelle dishes for over 30 years and my only complaint is that they last FOREVER! LOL! I mean I love a good value, but I it’s hard to justify spending $$ on “new” dishes when the ones you have still look as good as the day you bought them. Nonetheless, after buying these for my daughter, I am eyeing a new set for myself. #2 Sweese 6210 Porcelain Fluted Mugs - 14 Ounce for Coffee, Tea, Cocoa, Set of 6, Cold Assorted Colors . Since the Corelle set did not come with coffee mugs, I looked for some blue ceramic mugs and found these beauties! And, I’m thrilled to report that they complement the Ocean Blues dishes perfectly! (See photo). These are stoneware coffee mugs with an elegant fluted side. The insides is white - not cream or beige. The white is not as bright as the Corelle dishes, but close enough. The mugs have a good weight to them - but not heavy or clunky. Of course they are not Corelleware, and will probably not hold up forever, but they seem to be sturdy to withstand normal use. The color I ordered says “Assorted” and it arrived very well packaged. Each mug inside a bubble wrap back and in its own compartment in a sturdy cardboard box. As I said, the colors go very well with Ocean Blues dinnerware. Only one mug appears a bit more green than blue - but it’s still in the blue color family. Overall, I LOVE these mugs and at about $4.50 each, they were a bargain! #3 Cafe 20-ounce Break-Resistant Plastic Restaurant-Style Beverage Tumblers | Set of 16 in 4 Coastal Colors. To round out my daughter’s dish set, she needed cups for cold drinks as well. She is in college so I wanted unbeakable glasses - but not Tupperware-like plastic. I searched for acrylic drinkware and found these gems. I hadn’t planned on getting 16 cups, but at $1 each, I could not pass these up. They are exactly as their description reads - very much like the glasses used by little mom & pop diners- slightly bumpy texture on the outside with smooth rims and insides. Of course the BEST thing about them for me, was that came in shades of blue that coordinate so well with both the Corelle Ocean Waves and the coffee mugs! Seriously, these dishes look like I bought them as a set together. I really lucked out with these glasses - each in a different shade of blue that just happens to match the Ocean Blues. (Actually, one of the colors is really more of a smoky charcoal. I plan to keep those for my husband to use out in his workshop so he doesn’t keep taking my glass glasses out there.) These cups hold 20 ounces but don’t look or feel huge. After you add 6-8 ices cubes, you can pour a whole 12 ounce can of soda in the cup without it getting to over-flow level.

These clear hard plastic cups are awesome! They’re lightweight but still really sturdy, easy to hold, and the see-through look is super clean and modern. I absolutely love them and would definitely order again the size is perfect. Also held up in my dishwasher.

Great cups! Easy to clean and power pretty colors.

Very good tumbelrs. So far, they've gone through two diswasher cycles, several uses, and several kids dropping them. They have remained clear, and so so far, no chips, cracks or breakage. Not quite restaurant grade, so I'm not going to run them through "heated dry" on the dishwasher (I'd bet this would result in clouding or crazing of the acrylic). These should last several years of constant use.

Update: I read through the reviews again and saw many where it appeared the the plastic was wearing down and becoming foggy or flaky. This concerned me as it seems that would make ingestion of the plastic more likely. (We get enough of that without trying). I ended up returning them and opting for another type of plastic cup that I felt would hold up better. They also happened to be a better value. I feel like these are dollar store quality and I paid about $1.50 per cup so I guess they're close value-wise. They are quite thin, including the bottom. I chose these because the bottom doesn't have the lip that will collect water in the dishwasher. Thicker ones seemed hard to find without that bottom lip. I'm not sure how they'll hold up to the constant use and dishwasher exposure they will get in my home but we'll see. Better than using completely disposable and better than my good glassware getting broken. :)

Love the size and colors...these are our daily tumblers and go into dishwasher they last us about 3 years then some fade. We like size, can take outside and to our pool ...no risk of glass breakage (we have a few people who drop things) so win win...been using these for over a dozen years no one complains they understand our logic...great value

- EDIT 11/28/2024 - This might be my final update, but these are great. Kid-proof, stain-proof, dishwasher-proof they are good. That one cup that I know you all are desperate for updates is still a slightly cracked cup that I still use. It still holds liquid and still acts exactly like a cup should. My cups get a hard life, always stacked, always ran through the dishwasher after every use. Sometimes used for iced tea or coffee (and the occasional chocolate milk or plain water) They remain scratch and stain free, decent looking and are cup like in every sense of the word. If my cups all vanished overnight, I would almost certainly replace them with these exact same cups. I can't give a better endorsement than that. Just to make sure, I'm not a shill, I did pay full-price for these cups and am just a humble user and have received no discount or free product. -- EDIT 10/28/2023 - Out of the 16 cups I bought, all 16 are perfectly fine to do duty as cups. They are stain free, crack free (except for that one, which is still cracked and still holding liquid and acting like a cup) I love that I can throw these in the dishwasher, I love I can pack these cups into a cooler and take them to the river with zero worries. I love that I can use these cups with iced coffee or hot tea. They just work as cups. -- EDIT 9/23/2022 -- Almost 18 months further in (so about 2 1/2 years from purchase) and these cups are still going strong. I finally managed to put a tiny crack in to the base of one of them after dropping it on concrete outside. It doesn't leak so I keep using it. Still no stains, no leaks and no chips. They're good cups! -- EDIT 4/30/2021 -- Over 1 year since I made this review. Every single cup is perfect. No cracks, discoloring, leaks or chips. I would buy these cups tomorrow in a heartbeat. I have them in a constant rotation with each cup being used multiple times per week. I'm lazy. I bought these cups because I was fed up of hand-washing my 4 cup set of glasses every time I used them. So I bought a load of unbreakable acrylic cups that I could just put in the dishwasher and run it when I was ready. Pros. The cups are sturdy. No flex, they wash well in the dishwasher (top shelf) and they have a pattern to them so they are easier to grip when wet. They stack, so they don't take up a ton of room in the cupboard. They are pleasantly colored. They are USA made. No chemical smell, no staining (with constant use for iced-tea) They are light. Cons. I can't think of any, not even a small one. I heartily recommend these cups. I've had the set now for a couple of months with absolutely no issues. No scratches from use or stacking, no cracks or chips and I've dropped a couple of them on to hardwood floors. I've used these mainly for iced-tea but I've also poured hot liquid (almost boiling) with no deformation in the shape or any failures. This is my honest opinion. I paid full-price for the tumblers and received no discount or free product for my review.

These cups are so cool. They look like they are fresh out of the 70s. The work great and are easy to drink out of. They are a hardy material and will last a long time. Very sturdy and not too heavy. Excellent purchase. We use these every day.
