MilkMate

MilkMate is a 520 ml thermal mug that stays with you from the first morning coffee to the evening tea. Double walls of food-grade 316 stainless steel keep the temperature for up to 6 hours: hot drinks stay hot on the way to work, cold ones stay cold through a summer day.

What makes MilkMate special is the two ways to drink. For small sips on the go, use the silicone straw that comes in the box. When you want a proper gulp, unscrew the lid and drink as from a regular cup. The straw is wide enough for smoothies and drinks with fruit pieces.

In the ceramic-coated versions the inner wall never touches your drink directly: the coating doesn't absorb smells or alter taste. Pour water after your morning coffee — and it will taste like water. If you drink different things from one mug all day, you will feel the difference.

All materials are food-safe: 316 steel — the same grade used in medical and food equipment — and BPA-free food-grade silicone. The mug takes seconds to disassemble and wash, and the compact body fits a car cup holder and a backpack side pocket.

The MilkMate palette ranges from calm neutrals to juicy shades named after desserts and fruit. Pick your colour — and check the care page if you want your mug to stay perfect for years.
