Press Fit Care

KeepCup is the barista standard cup that started the reuse revolution. A drafted vessel for the perfect pour with a cup lip designed for drinking pleasure on the go, it’s lovely to drink from – lid on or off.

Made to be loved and looked after. Designed to be taken apart for easy cleaning and care.

Caring for your KeepCup and relevant components can have a great impact on product longevity and enjoyment of use. We say - buy once, buy well and care well!

The press fit lids work with a range of KeepCups, are made with modularity in mind to allow thorough clean but also let you customise your look, and replace parts where necessary. Let's start with some basic info, before we step it up a notch.

Caring for your Press fit lid

Lid assembly

1. Align plug on screw fitment, and over the lid ridge.
2. Twist plug clockwise, from start position to resting position.
3. Turn further clockwise until plug is in closed position covering the drinking hole.
4. Press to seal.

1. To disassemble, gently lift plug, turn anticlockwise past resting and start position until detached.
2. For daily use, wash the plug as part of the lid. The plug can be easily removed for a more thorough clean.
3. Reassemble lid after cleaning. Store open.

Lid in action

• We recommend you wait 30 seconds after pouring boiling water before putting your lid on, to allow steam release.
• To avoid steam build-up, keep the plug in open position for all hot drinks over 65°C / 149°F.
• The press-fit lid has a breather hole to release ongoing steam build up and pressure, allowing for optimum liquid flow when drinking. It is splashproof, but not fully sealed. For this reason, we recommend you don’t carry the cup in your bag when it has liquid in it.
• The plug should be in closed position, covering the drinking hole, when not in use.
• Use the lid tab to lift the lid off the cup, and two hands to press it evenly on.

Keep your Brew like new

• KeepCup Brew is made from durable tempered glass. Tempered glass is dishwasher safe on the top rack. 
• Place small components such as plugs and silicone band in cutlery tray or basket, so they do not become damaged or lost.
• If water gets under the silicone band during washing, it can slide down the cup. For best results, use a dry band on a dry cup.
• Glass cup can be microwaved to a maximum temperature of 100 °C / 212 °F.
• Caution: Rapid temperature change or heating over 100 °C / 212 °F may cause the glass cup to shatter. Do not heat liquids in the microwave above boiling point, or place a cold cup in boiling water, or place a hot cup in cold water.

Keep your Cork cruisy

• Your KeepCup cork band is made from natural material, there can be slight variances in colour, height and width of the band. As a result, band fitment will vary.

• We recommend the cork band not to be removed and handwashed only.

• Repeated dishwashing will cause the band to become discoloured and stretched.

• Place small components such as plugs in cutlery tray or basket, so they do not become damaged or lost.

• Do not microwave cup with cork band on.

1. Place the cup on a flat surface, upside down.
2. Using your fingertips, gently massage the cork band upwards while rotating the glass, keeping the band at an even height.
3. Wash band separately and leave in the sunshine until touch dry.
4. Slide back onto the cup and allow to fully dry.
5. If your band is loosened, follow these instructions.

1. Place the cork band on a flat surface with the inside groove at the top.
2. Take the glass and place inside of the cork band.
3. Using both hands and even, rotating motions, lift the band upward until it grips on the glass.

Keep your Brew Corn and Wood good

• Your KeepCup corn and wood bands are made from recovered organic materials, there can be slight variances in band complexion (texture and colour), as well as the height and width of the band. As a result, band fitment will vary.

• Remove corn and wood bands from the glass cup prior to washing.

• These bands are made from compressed organic materials, so waterlogging can cause the band to change shape. If your band needs to be cleaned, wipe with a damp cloth and reassemble when dry. 

• Place small components such as plugs in cutlery tray or basket, so they do not become damaged or lost.

• Do not microwave cup with corn or wood band on.

To remove and reassemble the band:

1. Use your fingertips to un-clack and slide the band off. 
2. To assemble, simply slide the band onto cup and 'clack' in place.

Keep your Thermal eternal

• KeepCup Thermal is made from double-walled, vacuum-insulated stainless steel.
• A vacuum seal sucks the air from between the twin walls, ensuring the cup is not too hot or too cold to the touch.
• If the vacuum seal is punctured or damaged, the cup may become hot to touch with hot liquids.
• Freezing temperatures can damage vacuum sealed insulation, so do not place your thermal cup in the freezer.  
• We recommend to handwash only, in order to preserve surface finish.
• Place small components such as plugs in cutlery tray or basket, so they do not become damaged or lost.
• Do not microwave.

• Silicone band is very durable and can withstand high temperatures, including in the microwave and dishwasher.
• Plastic cups are dishwasher safe on the top rack.
• Ice will cause condensation on clear plastic.
• Grease or oil from other dishwasher items may cause clear plastic to cloud. Turmeric will cause staining.

Keep your Longplay in play for longer

• KeepCup Brew Longplay is made from durable tempered glass cup with a clear plastic sleeve to create a double walled cup. 
• For best thermal results, heat the glass with hot water before filling.
• Longplay will be warm to touch when filled with hot liquid, if moisture is trapped between the walls, or if the sleeve is not fitted correctly. 
• For everyday use, clean with a quick rinse. Once a week, take it fully apart to remove moisture between the twin walls. Allow to dry completely before re-assembling.
• We recommend the Tritan plastic sleeve is handwashed only. Dishwashers and frequent can cloud, scuff and scratch the material.
• Silicone is very durable and can withstand high temperatures, including in the microwave and dishwasher.
• Place small components such as plugs and silicone bands in cutlery tray or basket, so they do not become damaged or lost.
• Microwavable with the lid off, up to 100°C / 212°F.

5. Press down to securely attach. Et voila!
