The fit guide

Will yours fit? Here's the whole answer.

One spec, one desk-drawer test, and the exact measurements for the cups and cans people actually bring. Every number below is sourced — nothing is guessed.

Container bases 2 to 3 inches across settle in fully. The flexible fins accept slightly wider bases up to 3.15 inches — a snug fit that seats with a push. Under 2 inches sits too loose; over 3.15 doesn't seat.

The 10-second version

Settle it at home, before the cooler's packed.

your cup's base
lands in here
  1. Grab a sticky note. The standard square is exactly 3 inches on a side — that's a fact about sticky notes, not a spec sheet, and it happens to be the exact ceiling of what fits.
  2. Stand the cup or can on it — right at the picnic table works. Use whatever's actually going in the cooler or the camp box, and look at its base, not its rim. Tumblers taper and cups flare; the bottom is the only part that matters.
  3. Read the square. Base lands inside the square? It fits. Hangs over the edge? Too wide. A little puck lost in the middle — under 2 inches? Too narrow.

No calipers at the site, no gear-forum thread, no guessing before you pack. One sticky note at the kitchen counter, with the cup you actually bring to the fire.

Snug — the fins flex

Just over 3 inches. The flexible fins spread and these seat with a push — calibrated to 3.15 inches by the maker.

Honestly, no

Bases over 3.15 inches don't seat. We'd rather tell you here than in a return.

The handle rule

Classic handled coffee mugs don't fit at any base size — the handle sits exactly where a fin needs to grip. Handle-less mugs and camp cups inside the range are fine. (Tall tumblers with high handles, like the Stanley Quencher, are fine too — their handles sit far above the fins.) Espresso cups sit under the 2-inch floor: too loose.

Where these numbers come from

The rule fits on an index card: a container base 2 to 3 inches across settles in. Everything below follows straight from that.
