Anyone who is serious about sustainability and environmental protection stopped using disposable cups long ago. Of course, there are various alternatives, but here’s a particularly attractive one: SIGG drinking cups made of the 18/8 stainless steel.

The paper cup has always been uncool, at least for hot drinks. Their insulation value is zero, their stability is almost non-existent, and the environmental record is catastrophic. In Germany alone, 320,000 cardboard coffee-to-go cups currently end up in the trash. And that’s not every day, but every hour! But there is no lack of sound arguments against the throwaway madness. What is really missing are genuine alternatives that consumers accept. And, as is well known, they want convincing products not moralizing undertones. SIGG gave this considerable thought and designed drinking cups for discerning aesthetes.

The reusable cup as a stylish accessory

The smart Gemstone Mugs have a high utility value and are comfortable to hold. They are available in the sizes 270 ml (9 oz) and 470 ml (16 oz), in a light stainless steel look – “Selenite” – or in matt black – “Obsidian”. A quick look at science of gemstones? Here we go! Selenite is one of the most important healing stones for vitality and creativity. The mystical volcanic glass obsidian, on the other hand, has had a grounding effect on humans for thousands of years. This explains why these cups are called Gemstone Mugs.

Sustainable through material and processing

For these cups, premium quality means first and foremost: durability and reliability. The double-walled stainless steel covers are deep-drawn from a single piece and therefore have no visible welding seams. It goes without saying that all materials used are recyclable, odorless and free of Bisphenol A (BPA) and harmful substances. The patented drinking system with the “Lock” button in the lid is also simply ingenious. Just press the button to drink, and release it to close the cup – the cup is immediately absolutely leak-proof. So the only question left is: coffee, tea or water? That’s entirely up to you. Thanks to the good insulation, all drinks stay cold or warm for hours.

Conclusion: a great concept, ideal for everyday use

SIGG Gemstone Mugs are well thought-out to the last detail. Even the fine linear embossing on the outer shell not only looks great, it makes the mugs even more stable. And the patented drinking system is very easy to remove and clean. Would the cool cups make it into the ranks of SIGG classics in the Museum of Modern Art? Only time will tell. But one thing is already certain: with a Gemstone Mug in your hand you can look great anywhere and make a confident, ecological statement.
