KeepCup Brew Cork

Fantastic upgrade from my old KeepCup. Care is needed to wash it as the cork ring doesn't come off (you might manage to get it off, but the suggestion is to just leave it there and wash the glass part carefully by hand) and it will certainly deteriorate with use, but it looks and feels fantastic. The glass part looks and feels so great that I often use it at home without the lid. It's great on the go too, the lid itself has been upgraded quite a bit and it now features two different kinds of plastic, a hard one for the main body and a rubbery one near all the places where it joins glass or other plastic (you can't really see this in the photos as with this specific colour combination they're both dark grey), so it now seals much better than the old version did, it's really really difficult to have the coffee pour out of it. The little lip (wasn't there in the old version) makes it easy to open the lid, the sipping hole is a tiny bit bigger now, and it feels just as big as it needs to be. The small lid that seals the sipping hole now locks into place and can't be removed when sealed. All in all, this is a great upgrade, all the problematic points of the old KeepCup have been addressed thoroughly. Regarding smells that some people complain it retains: OK the plastic lid does retain some coffee smell if you keep it closed with coffee for hours and it does spoil the taste just a tiny bit (hey, it's just a bit of plastic, it's not magical) but it washes really well and doesn't smell afterwards. To hear that the glass retains coffee smell is plain silly, you obviously haven't washed it well.

best cup ever….

Handy to-go cup that's easy to carry and use when travelling. It is not leakproof so please do not put it in your bag thinking it is. However, I find that it keeps the drink warm for the commute to the office. Easy to clean and fits nicely in your hands.

Great cup, looks premium and ‘cool’. I have used this for several months taking coffee with me on my commute to work or getting coffee to-go from coffee shops without needing to get a cardboard cup. Be warned though, this cup isn’t designed to keep your coffee warm for longer than any normal cup, and the glass gets hot so you need to hold it by the cork. The lid is easy to drink from and close, it won’t spill on a bus ride etc, but it wouldn’t stay on if tipped upside down so this cup isn’t suitable to placed in a bag when full. I enjoy drinking from this cup, beats a plastic or cardboard coffee cup all day long.

I dithered quite a bit before buying this cup. It's one of the more expensive available, but in the end I felt willing to pay for something that is well designed and will be a pleasure to use over and over again. I am not disappointed. The cup looks good and is very nice to hold in the hand. If you use it to buy take away coffees, the glass cup feels nice and warm and is not too hot to hold. The cork provides insulation if you want it, but I don't find the fact that the cork band is quite slim a problem. It's also nice to think that in small way I am supporting the cork industry (cork forests support a lot of biodiversity). I wash my cup by hand and the cork feels very robust under this kind of wear. It's not suitable for a dishwasher. The silicone cap fits tightly so it feels secure. I have noticed that coffee shops want me to take the cap off for them. Once full, I tend to swivel the light grey stopper over the drinking hole to prevent spillage. The manufacturers don't recommend this as they say sealing a hot drink like this can cause a build up of pressure. I can see their point, but my coffees are not so very hot and I only do it for very short periods when I am on the go. I like the fact that the cup wont leak, so I can run for a bus or whatever. Once I've finished my coffee I use the light grey stopper to cover the drinking hole again which stops any dregs leaking into my bag and keeps the drinking hole clean. It all works perfectly and I can't imagine wanting to use a disposable cup again. The only very slight issue I've encountered is that when I used the cup for a rooibosh tea the other day, there was a slight taste of coffee about it. I'm not really bothered, but perhaps some might be. I thought I had cleaned it well, but nevertheless the silicone lid seems to pick up strong flavours a bit.

Stylish and functional, it doesn’t hang onto smells like plastic cups do. It isn’t leak proof though, and doesn’t hold onto heat as well as a vacuum cup - however, as a replacement for disposable plastic cups, it’s perfect!

I bought this as a gift for someone who covets my own keepcup. They are just perfect. Really. 1. The company has environmental credentials that others can only aspire to 2. The container is borosilicate glass so is really nice to drink out of and as robust as glass gets. The clever sip-through cap is a genius design, easy to clean and nice to drink through. 3. You CAN slip off the cork band CAREFULLY so the glass and lid go in the dishwasher. To refit, simply grease the inside rim of the cork band with had moisturizer and be careful when you ease it back on. After a few times it will slip on more easily but won’t fall off. 4. If you break or lose a part you can buy replacement parts individually from Keepcup themselves. Including the cork band (they last about 5 years if used daily and washed every day. My own Keepcup is 12 years old and has only had 2 replacement cork bands. Overall, these are a joy to use, work brilliantly, and will last a lifetime.

Brilliant, buy it. Reduce plastic consumption, healthier take away coffees. Bit annoying to hand wash but I prefer the natural cork to silicone band

My old one shattered when i dropped it on concrete so i purchased a new one. this is my daily driver cup. Perfect size for a cup of coffee. Baristas love when I bring this cup in to the cafe and i always get asked about where I got it.

Muito bom! Há tempos tinha comprado um dos primeiros que era de ‘plástico’ e já gostava. Esse de vidro é bem mais legal.

the top of the cup has a removable piece where you can either move it so you have access to the sip spout, remove it so you can insert a straw in the middle, or cover BOTH to make it travel friendly!! (probably not completely leak proof but won't spill with this option) versatile cup. looks well made, sturdy, good size.

Dieser KeepCup ist bereits mein zweiter. Den Vorgänger habe ich über einige Jahre täglich benutzt. Klar ist er nicht auslaufsicher, aber es ist unglaublich angenehm, aus dem Aufsatz zu trinken (egal ob zu Hause oder von unterwegs). Zudem lässt er sich gut verschließen, wenn man ihn unterwegs in der Hand hält oder nach dem Trinken in der Tasche verstauen möchte. Auch dann kommen die letzten kleinen Tropfen idR nicht raus. Der KeepCup (egal aus Kork oder insulated/aus Edelstahl) nach wie vor mein Lieblingsbecher. :)

コーヒーを主に飲むので、汚れにくいものを探していました。見た目も素敵で、使っていると「それ、いいね！」とよく言われます。コルクの部分が外せないので、使っていくうちに汚れないのか。。。？心配で星を一つ減らしています。
