Its key benefit is reducing single-use waste and potentially saving money with retailer discounts for reusable cups. A potential caveat is the need to clean it regularly to maintain hygiene.

FAQs
What material is the cup made from?
The cup is made from BPA-free silicone, which is durable, flexible, and safe for food contact.
How do I clean the collapsible cup?
You can wash it by hand with warm, soapy water or place it on the top rack of your dishwasher.
What are the dimensions when collapsed?
When collapsed, the cup is approximately 5cm in height and has a diameter of 8.5cm.
Is the heat sleeve removable?
Yes, the heat-proof ring (heat sleeve) is designed to be easily removed for cleaning or if you prefer not to use it.
Does the lid prevent all spills?
The lid is designed to be spill-proof with its screw-on mechanism and stopper, helping to prevent accidental spills during transit. However, vigorous shaking or inversion may still lead to minor leaks.
What sizes are available?
The cup is available in two sizes: midi (355ml) and grande (450ml).
Can I use this cup for hot and cold drinks?
Yes, the cup is suitable for both hot and cold beverages. The removable heat sleeve helps protect your hands from hot drinks.
Troubleshooting
Cup does not collapse or expand smoothly
Ensure there are no obstructions or dried residue between the cup segments. Gently twist while collapsing or expanding. Check that the heat sleeve is not hindering movement.
Lid is difficult to screw on or off
Check for any food particles or residue on the threads. Ensure the lid is aligned correctly before screwing. Avoid forcing the lid.
Minor leaks from the lid
Make sure the lid is screwed on completely tight. Ensure the stopper is fully closed. Clean the lid rim and cup mouth for any debris that might prevent a perfect seal.
Cup retains odors or stains
Wash thoroughly with warm, soapy water after each use. For stubborn odors or stains, try soaking in a mixture of baking soda and water, or run through a dishwasher cycle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The cup requires minimal setup. Ensure the removable heat sleeve is properly seated around the cup body before use with hot beverages. The lid should be screwed on securely until tight, and the stopper closed to ensure a spill-proof seal.
Compatibility: This cup is designed for hot and cold beverages. It is compatible with most standard coffee machines for filling, though its height when open may prevent it from fitting under very low spouts. It is suitable for use in cafes that accept reusable cups.
Care: Hand washing with warm, soapy water is recommended for thorough cleaning. The cup and its removable heat sleeve are also top-rack dishwasher safe for convenient cleaning. Ensure all parts are completely dry before collapsing and storing to prevent moisture buildup. Periodically check the lid's seal and stopper for any debris that might affect its function.
