What sizes do the cups come in?
12, 16, 20 and 24 oz. The 12 oz clear cup is 3.7 in tall, with a 3.5 in lid and a 2.4 in base. The 24 oz cup is 6 3/8 in tall, 4 1/8 in across the top and 2 3/8 in across the base. Each pack has 100 cups and 100 lids of one size.
What are the cups made of?
Clear PET plastic (#1). The cups are BPA-free and recyclable.
Can I drink a smoothie through the sip lid?
A thin smoothie that pours easily, yes: use the 16 or 20 oz cup. A thick smoothie, for example with frozen banana or yogurt, does not flow well through a sip opening. Use the 24 oz cup and a straw.
Which cup is best for thick smoothies?
The 24 oz cup. Its wide opening, 4 1/8 in across the top, takes a straw. Straws are not in the pack.
Do I need a straw?
No, for most drinks. You drink from the lid: its flap opens for sipping and closes to cut splashes. Use a straw only for a thick drink, in the 24 oz cup. The last sip can collect in the lid, so tilt the cup more or take the lid off.
Which size is best for an iced matcha latte?
16 oz. It holds ice, milk and the matcha with room to spare. The cups are clear and tall, so you can see the green matcha on top of the white milk.
How do I make the matcha and milk show as two layers?
Fill the cup with ice, add the milk, then pour the matcha slowly over the ice. The matcha stays on top for a short time. Snap on the lid after you pour.
What do I need for a matcha bar at home or for guests?
16 oz cups with lids, matcha powder, a whisk or a small frother, cold water, milk and a plant milk, ice, and a syrup or honey. Whisk the matcha with a little cold water first, then pour it over the milk and ice. Our brunch drink station guide has a supply list for a drink table.
Can I keep cold brew in the cups in the fridge?
Yes, with the lid on and the cup upright. The lid is not airtight, so keep a large batch of cold brew in a closed jar or bottle, and pour it into the cups when you serve.
Will the lids keep a drink fresh in the fridge overnight?
The lid covers the drink and keeps out drops and dust. It is not airtight and not leakproof. Stand the cup upright, and keep it away from food with a strong smell.
Can I prepare drinks the night before, for meal prep?
Yes, for cold drinks such as iced coffee, iced tea, juice or a thin smoothie. Fill the cups, snap on the lids and stand them upright in the fridge. Write the drink or the day on the lid with a marker. Stir or shake before you drink.
Can I use the cups for hot drinks?
No. The cups are PET, which softens with heat. Use them for iced coffee and other cold drinks only.
