About Us

For years, I was on a mission to find the perfect reusable cup.

I'm one of those people who's really sensitive to smells, so I'd buy a bottle, love it for a few days, then suddenly all I could smell was that lingering plastic odour that wouldn't go away no matter how much I washed it.

I'd also get grossed out whenever I found mould hiding in tiny crevices that were impossible to clean properly.

I often found myself reaching for disposable cups and bottles because they were convenient, even though I knew they weren't great for me or the environment.

At the same time, I had developed quite a hobby with café culture. I loved heading out for iced coffee, matcha and bubble tea, not just because of the drinks, but because of the experience.

I loved the experience of holding a cup in my hand.

It's never really just about the drink.It's the ritual.

Then Australia started phasing out single-use plastic straws. And I found myself constantly disappointed by paper straws that would go soggy halfway through my drink. If you're an iced coffee or bubble tea person, you probably know exactly what I mean.

I didn't want a sports bottle.

I didn't want a bulky tumbler.

I wanted something that captured the feeling of getting a takeaway drink from my favourite cafe.

So I started researching materials, testing products and learning everything I could about plastics. That's when I discovered Tritan™, a BPA-free, durable, glass-like material that doesn't hold onto smells the way many plastics do. From there, I set out to create a cup that felt familiar.

One that looked good sitting on your desk.

One that was easy to clean.

One you'd actually want to use every day.

One that made drinking water, iced coffee, matcha or bubble tea feel a little more exciting.

This isn't just a cup to me.

It's my attempt to bring a little bit of that café feeling into everyday life.

Whether you're making your morning iced latte at home, drinking tea at work, or simply trying to drink more water, I hope this cup makes those small moments feel a little more enjoyable.

Because life's too short for soggy paper straws, smelly bottles, and boring cups.
