TOPL Reusable Travel Mug - Insulated Leakproof Coffee Cup with Patented 360 Drink and Spill-Safe Technology, Flask Keeps Drinks Hot or Cold, BPA-Free, Dishwasher Safe Lid - Regular 12oz - Coral

Product Information

The TOPL cups use stainless steel for the body of it’s cups. This is because it has longevity and once it reaches the end of it’s life, stainless steel can be recycled. Steel also has a low carbon footprint. Plus, the lid can be recycled in the same way as you would recycle other plastics, through your household recycling system. It really is that easy! However, due to the durability of the materials, the branded TOPL cups can last for years even if they are used every day. Founded by former cafe owners, this Aussie brand brings together sustainability and style. Made from non-toxic BPA-free plastic, KeepCup’s fully recyclable lightweight cups come in five different sizes, ranging from XS (118ml) for espressos and macchiatos to large (454ml) for lattes and lungos. There’s also a range of on-trend colours to choose from, such as fennel, hibiscus and sumac – and each of the cup’s components (cups, lids, bands, lids and plugs) can be bought separately in different colours to create your own designs. There’s also a glass and cork edition made in Portugal using waste products from the manufacture of wine corks. Initially, I decided to give myself a six-month break from law and see how far we could develop the business in that time,’ she reflected. ‘If we didn’t get as far as we wanted to within that period, then I planned to return to my legal career.’

With the product having come a long way since its first iteration, Eleanor says that one of the keys to TOPL’s success has been listening to the market and being prepared to make changes. That research led us to the creation of a minimalist ‘single use’ cup shape yet reflecting a strong lifestyle identity associated with reusable products.

I have different methods for using the Aeropress, but for this one, I’m using a medium roasted coffee which I will use as hot as possible water (not boiling) into my brew. For this test here’s what I did:

Reusable coffee cups normally come in a range of sizes to suit different coffee consumption habits. A lot of them hail from the US or Australia, however, so it’s common to see volumes listed in fluid ounces. A 4oz cup such as KeepCup’s XS holds 118ml of liquid – so it’s ideal for espresso or piccolo – whereas Stojo’s 16oz (454ml) Biggie cup is designed for long coffee drinks and smoothies. If you just want a regular mug-sized coffee, the 12oz (341ml) size should suit you nicely.Developing a cohesive and sustainable supply chain is crucial to our business. Managing that closer to home makes things infinitely more straightforward,’ she explained. The coffee market is booming and it’s an exciting industry to be working in but, with that, comes a lot of competition. To stand out, we have focused on creating a more joined-up approach to reuse which links consumers more seamlessly with the coffee retail sector.
