Design & Manufacture
When KeepCup first launched in 2009 with the mission to eradicate single-use cups, the only alternatives were ceramic mugs and bulky thermoses. The poor usability and aesthetics of these products were barriers for customers and cafes to adopt reusable cups for espresso coffee.
With our bright, bold designs and experience in busy café service environments, we crafted a product for both the coffee machine and the coffee drinker – and with it, we launched a new category of reusable that continues to inspire millions of people around the world to discover and deepen their commitment to reuse.
The world's first barista standard reusable cup
Barista standard is a shortcut to describe the design considerations that have gone into creating a product that works for users and baristas.
KeepCup is widely accepted and endorsed by the specialty coffee industry because our design carefully considers busy café environments and reflects disposable cup volumes. Whether you’re an espresso, latte or long black drinker, there is a KeepCup size to match.
Modular replacement parts
We try to utilise as many common parts as possible across our products, allowing you to swap different lids and cups across the range. This reduces tooling, wastage, and production oversupply and provides a more seamless experience for customers.
Available online, replacement parts support the right to repair, reduce collective impact and improve the longevity of our products.
If you’ve lost or broken a KeepCup part we encourage you to purchase a replacement for just that component rather than an entirely new KeepCup.
Design that is original
While the term ‘KeepCup’ is often used as a catchall for every reusable cup brand, our products are the first barista standard reusable cup, and the original product enjoys patent, design and trademark protection.

Food safety and hygiene
Health and safety is our first priority. All KeepCups are free from BPA, BPS, phthalates including DEHP, lead and cadmium as well as any substances of very high concern (SVHC).
We conduct audits of all our manufacturers to test material compliance with global food safety standards. We also take random production batch samples of parts and independently lab test them against differing food safety standards set worldwide.
