Don’t you just love coffee made from your favourite cafe and barista? We wanted more.
We wanted our coffees to stay just as hot as it was made, all the time.
We wanted the aesthetic of the cups the cafe used.
And we wanted to bring it with us everywhere. We wanted to bring amazing flavour with us.
Here’s what we didn’t want:
We didn’t want our baristas to feel the
equivalent of putting ketchup on a cake.
There’s ceramic cups in every top-tier cafe, here’s why:
Ceramic is the only natural lining that doesn’t absorb compounds. This means no residual taste/odour.
This also means that it will not affect your precious coffee’s taste, forever. (Or at least until you finish it).
Which gives appreciation to the barista and his efforts. We’re talking about tasting drinks at 100%. Pretty sttoked right? Here’s the best part.
We. Made. It. Shatter-Proof.
& we’re the world’s first to pull it off
In 2023, Young took the world by storm as he won the World Cup Tasters championship. Yes, this means he tastes coffee super, damn well. The Cup Tasters championship is where the best tongues and noses of the coffee world come together and compete.
In summary, it’s where they need to accurately guess and match the coffee notes that they were given - 6 times in a row. That’s like asking you to smell a tomato and tasting random ketchups that match in note and aroma.
But with bragging rights like that, things weren’t easy. Training was tough which I’m sure you can imagine tasting and matching sips of coffee for hours. In his training, he used STTOKE cups as his choice of gloves, boots, and headgear (you get what we mean).
This was to ensure that precision in tasting was its highest consistency. Giving him just that slight edge during the championship environment. It was, a dream come true. Other than blood, sweat and tears, it was also science:
Introducing our own ceramic made with German technology for maximum anti-bacterial features, easy clean surface, as well as it being shatterproof.
