SoL Cups | The Best Reusable Coffee Cups
Why it’s time to invest in a Reusable Coffee Cup
Unfortunately, disposable coffee cups with a film of polyethylene are not recyclable and release methane gas when sent to landfill. These cups can also contain waxes and glues that when a hot beverage is added, it releases chemicals into your drink, and in turn gets absorbed by your body!
…and let’s not forget that you pay for this non-recyclable, polyethylene lined cup… why not invest in a stylish, reusable, chemical free cup and save that money to buy more coffee! 😉

Why choose a SoL Cup?
- Every SoL Cup is made out of hand blown glass with a high percentage of ‘borosilicate’, making them extremely lightweight, super strong, ultra crystal clear and microwave and dishwasher safe!
- SoL Cups won’t absorb residual tastes, odours or germs, and won’t release chemicals (known to be endocrine disruptors in the body) into your beverage. As a result, your drink is fresher and cleaner and you’ll have zero concerns for your health.
- Every SoL Cup includes it’s own thermal silicone sleeve and lid, which is food-grade quality and BPA-free. Helping to keep your cup spill-free and your fingers protected from your hot beverage.
…And (My favourite, as a Luxah ‘Gifter’) All SoL Cups come in a SoL gift box (with Protective Pouch). The box is great quality so you can reuse it! We are also really excited to to introduce SoL’s Reusable Straw Kit!
Meet SoL Founder, Rebecca Veksler
Why did you create SoL Cups?
“I was working as a personal trainer at the time and always struggled to find a solution to taking a glass from home with my coffee or tea in it, and obviously it caused a few spillage problems. I found a few other cups on the market but they were either made of plastic, which i definitely didn’t want, or they were too heavy and didn’t look that great. I wanted a holistic solution – something health conscious, good for the environment and that also looked good, so I designed our own!”

I just learnt that you have your mum as a business partner. What’s it like working together?
“It is a pretty special experience, I think the most incredible part, your mum is the one person you can’t hide from, she knows everything about you! And vice versa, really, we have a very strong bond and friendship and have been through a lot together, so when it comes to business, that doesn’t really change. We are so ridiculously open and honest, that even in the most stressful times, it all comes from a place of love and honesty, so we get the BEST results from each other and within our brand.”
