Cupple (a combined water bottle and coffee cup)

cupple

You know the juggle. A coffee in one hand, a water bottle in the other, a bag slipping off your shoulder while you dart for the train. It is a small daily circus that adds friction to an already busy day. Now imagine carrying one tidy unit that handles both. That is the promise of the Cupple, a clever two-in-one design.

Don’t fill hot liquids to top, and avoid wide-mouth bottles with hot drinks for children. Don’t place metal bottles in the microwave.

We like Sanctuary Coffee (profits help animal sanctuaries!) NHS says that it’s best to avoid caffeine for pregnancy/nursing (or no more than 2 cups of weak tea daily – or 1 cup of mild coffee or cola). Also avoid caffeine for certain medical conditions. 

Cupple combines a reusable water bottle with a reusable coffee cup in a single, stainless steel build. It is compact, practical, and purposeful. The bottle is designed for water, the top section converts into a cup for hot drinks, so you only carry one item.

The appeal is obvious for commuters, gym-goers, dog walkers, and desk workers alike. You fill it, drink, and reuse. The stainless steel body adds durability, while the BPA-free materials support daily use. It looks smart, feels well made, and saves space in your routine.

Avoid caffeine for pregnancy and medical conditions. Use a sink strainer to catch coffee grounds (and tea leaves) to prevent them clogging sinks. Just bin grounds, as although a few spent caffeine ones won’t harm (balanced with shredded cardboard to balance acidity), too many could harm compost worms.

How to Use the Cupple Cup

  • Twist off the outer sleeve, to reveal the cup and lid.
  • Unscrew the cup from the bottle, and fill with 340ml/12oz of your favourite hot (or cold) drink. We like Sanctuary Coffee, as profits help animal sanctuaries!
  • Secure lid by pushing down and twisting at the same time to ensure a tight seal. Allow steam to escape before securing the lid to reduce pressure build up.
  • Do not shake or turn the cup upside down with hot liquid inside.
  • Let steam escape before sealing hot drinks, don’t drink scalding drinks direct from mouth of cup.
  • Once finished with your hot drink, push the lid onto the bottom of the cup.
  • Twist the empty cup (including drips) back onto the bottle. Reseal it inside the outer sleeve to prevent leaks in your bag.

How to Use the Cupple Water Bottle

  • Twist the empty cup (including drips) back onto the bottle and reseal it inside the outer sleeve to prevent leaks in your bag.
  • Unscrew the lid and fill the bottle with 525ml/18oz of cold water
  • Caution: the bottle is single-wall and not suitable for hot liquids.
  • Tighten the lid to prevent leaks.
  • When using the cup, twist the outer sleeve back onto the bottle for added stability.

How to Care for Reusable Water Bottles

Use warm a mix of warm water, unscented dish soap, and a plastic-free bottle brush to reach every corner, then rinse and keep the lid off, to avoid trapped water and odour. To deep–clean, half-fill the bottle with cleaning vinegar, fill up with cold water, screw the lid on and leave for 10 to 12 hours. Hand-washing is recommended, for a longer bottle life.

How Much Water Should We Drink?

We need water to keep cool, remove waste, and help our joints, brains and eyes (fresh water is also found in raw product like watermelons and bananas). The average person needs around 1.2 litres of water a day (more for athletes, hot weather, some medical conditions and after vomiting/diarrhoea).

So how much is 1.2 litres? Around 6 x 200ml glasses. So drink 2 glasses when you wake up, another 2 before lunch and dinner, and in a couple of weeks you’ll be hydrated. The caveat is that your body loses water with tea, coffee, cola and alcohol.

So add an extra glass, for each one of those you drink. It’s easier to reduce caffeine and alcohol, so you are not guzzling water all day to compensate.

What Kind of Water Should Pets Drink?

Spring and filtered water are fine, you may find health and fur improves. But vets say that (unless medically given) to avoid distilled water (removes minerals and electrolytes). Never give fizzy water to pets, as it could cause bloat.

Don’t let pets drink from puddles. It may taste nice to them, but could contain remnants of bacteria, oil or antifreeze.
