Confession: I drink the Starbucks Trente Ice Tea every morning (no sugar, extra ice, no water)....

I am scared of the flimsy cupholders in our 991s... I am convince that this is a German engineering joke on North Americans.

What are people using for cup holders for taller / larger drinks? No drilling.

I bought a cup holder in the 1990s that was adjustable and was removable but anchored with a tang that wedged itself between the lower and upper parts of the seat.

I get tempted to stretch out the cars legs but I am too paranoid with the flimsy cupholder. This is literally a lifestyle issue for me.

Help?

 

Get a man servant. He'll hold it for you.

 

Forget the cup holder, just get a better cup.

Autoseal seems to be the new thing. I have a backpack thermos I use for coffee. It's been a great sipper.

I couldn't agree more. I don't understand why they don't simply cut a hole in the center console...that would improve the experience of going to Starbucks so much!

That said - I also enjoy the Trenta iced tea and I do use the flimsy cupholder for it. The only real issue is the drink sweating all over your console switches; wrap the cup in a napkin.

What's worse is getting a black coffee. That is physically impossible to get home in a Porsche without flinging it everywhere.

 

Have you tried two grandes instead?

 

You must have a humongous bladder. If I drink a trente, I make sure I know where the restrooms are located.

How can u drive with a cup in ur hand unless u have pdk? If u do or don't, why would u? Take the mini van

 

I do have PDK, due to left hip injury. I gotta get my coffee and get it back home to get work done!

This setup works brilliantly. T

 

Cups like this with those types of caps are a microbial cess pool.

 

I have one of the Ultimate cup holders, and it worked great in my 997. I tried for about 2 seconds to install it in the 991. The thing that jams up under the side of the console seemed too tight for comfort, so I aborted the mission before i scratched something. So the GTI does the coffee runs.

 

I will get a C-Cups blonde to hold the cup for me

 

Dude, we have very common first world problems.

I still am pissed at the wife for having pumpkin spiced latte froth spilling into my PDK shifter!!!

My Cayenne has great center console cupholders. I am telling you German engineers are messing with us on the 911s. "Ya, you waltz zee cup holder in my 911 ya? P"

I might try the ultimate cup holder but get the Focus RS as a DD.

 

Thanks Rich, I will try it just to see for myself. Or I might install behind passenger seat. I have grey carpeting that tea will stain.

 

Yep!! Have had these in all my cars for years and years... if (when) the cup spills, it doesn't get on anything important..
