I don't know why someone hasn't posted this.

I've been looking for a good one to match my friends exxy keepcup.

Smash brand good quality (unlikely to easily smash, imo) reusable travel keep cups at Aldi. Plenty left. 12oz only.

Block colour lid and marble effect heat band. I got pink and grey.also available navy, teal and others…

Didnt spill when running this morning, but can't be sealed shut. (just a silicone push lid with an open spout and vent hole, but seals well)

Lid stayed on well when I tipped it upside down full.

Credit to bro-in-law for letting us know about these!

Heat loss through cup: 5 degrees C per 10 mins with lid on at 19oC ambient. See comments below.

      Red or black silicone lids.

      It's a perfectly fine cup to keep in the office if you like to go to the cafe on company time and transport a coffee back to your desk. Just remove the lid when you drink it.

  • macrocephalic on 25/06/2019 - 09:49

    I don't know why someone hasn't posted this.

    Because it's an $8 coffee cup with a jinky lid. It's not even insulated. This one from Kmart is cheaper, tougher, larger, and has a better lid which seals: https://www.kmart.com.au/product/450ml-double-wall-travel-mu…

    • vash5 on 25/06/2019 - 10:03
      +4

      Food for thought..

      1. It's glass not plastic cup.. IMO the less plastic we use the better
      2. Not insulated but can be placed in microwave
      3. Linked item looks like a pain to clean and not dishwasher safe
      4. It's bulky and not a screw top
      5. Everyone's needs are different
      • macrocephalic on 25/06/2019 - 10:38
        +3
        1. Plastic items which are re-used are not the issue. Single use plastic is. The scales are much different.
        2. Good point.
        3. Is it? I can't see details, but I don't see why it wouldn't go in the dishwasher.
        4. Bulky? Maybe. But it also holds more - if that's what you want.
        5. True. I just don't think the Aldi one is a good deal.

        I actually bought a ceramic double wall coffee cup with a silicone lid from Kmart a couple of years ago, for less than $8, and that's what I was looking for when I found the one I linked, but the ceramic one is not listed in their online store.

          +3
          1. Agree!! Given the rise in micro plastic indigestion year on year, I try to minimise my expose so a glass cup is always preferred over plastic
          2. Cheers :)
          3. From my past history with similar products you can't use them in the dishwasher. Turns out cheap seals and metal don't play well with heat and corrosive cleaning products
          4. True.. guess it depends on needs
          5. Compared to Keepcup pricing (~$20-30 per cup) its fairly competitive I think. Not the same but pretty close.

          Yup, from time to time you will find some good stuff. Best of luck on your search :)

          • Valowick on 25/06/2019 - 12:03

            @vash5: Micro-plastic ingestion comes from mostly tap water/bottled water, shellfish (and fish) and crappy table salt. Collecting and drinking your own captured rainwater and eating shellfish less often would cut down micro plastics the most. Out of everything you could do that is.

        • vash5 on 26/06/2019 - 10:51

    • Embaloo on 25/06/2019 - 10:11

      I will check. Doesn't say on the cup itself, but it is borosilicate glass, so super resistant to thermal shock, so the glass itself should be all good.

      I'll check the box when I get home.

      The rest is silicone, so should be heat resistant… Anyone else have any experience with silicone lids?

      • serpserpserp on 25/06/2019 - 17:22
        +1

        I've had experience with silicon keep cups (body) and plastic lids. Essentially after time (mine nearly took two years) wherever you touch the silicon the most (ie. you are drinking out of this one?) will wear down and eventually a hole will surface. It seems to happen more quickly if you start putting it through the dishwasher (or mine had some serious discolouration). Still I drank 2 or 3 coffees a day out of it which I use to use disposables for so I hope I evened it out with the landfill.

    • Valowick on 25/06/2019 - 12:05
      +1

      Is it really so hard to wash your lid by hand? It'll make it last 20x as long if you do it. You can still put the glass in.

    • Embaloo on 25/06/2019 - 17:20

      @georgedn, yes I just checked the box:
      Dishwasher and microwave safe, but don't freeze it. Bpa free etc.

    Got mines over the weekend and apart from the silicon lid, the glass is quite strong as OP mentioned. luckily i had a plastic keep cup and just swapped the lids :)

    • Embaloo on 25/06/2019 - 16:42

      THIS!!! And then you always have the plastic backup for "no time to clean" or kiddies.

  • damfrog on 25/06/2019 - 12:08
    +1

    This is made with borosilicate glass which should be stronger than KeepCup which is made from soda-lime glass. As others have said, the keep-cup lids are more functional.

    My recommendation is to buy a keep cup, and don't drop it. :)

  • Psomaggi on 25/06/2019 - 15:12

    Am I the only one that doesn't get the hullabaloo around theses KeepCups? When I saw a cafe selling them for $30 a pop I thought they were taking the proverbial, but sure enough, that's what they cost from the source. And my wife is gaga about hers.

    It's a glass, with a (poorly insulating) rubber band around it, and a plastic lid. Where's the #omg factor and why does it cost 10 times more than a ceramic mug or regular latte glass?!?

    If it's an Apple Generation thing, then say no more… but I'm genuinely trying to find out if I'm missing something.

    • Embaloo on 25/06/2019 - 17:59

      Maybe… Re. The branded keepcups,

      • Sturdy for public transporters or those on the go, handy to have a good lid when you're juggling ticket, bags, umbrellas etc.
      • close to sealable, for when you are ahem running
      • does save a tonne of resources for heavy drinkers, multiplied by a big population
      • glass is eventually fully recycled
      • hopefully people keep them a long time, re. the silicone.
        -they are much easier to clean than a thermos, and partially insulating
      • it's nice to see your drink in the glass
      • the image and unnecesary consumerism when you don't actually need one.
      • H E B on 27/06/2019 - 08:39

        I think Keepcup mentions the glass is already recycled.

    How's the lid on these?

      So… I just tried tipping my hot chocolate upside down with the lid on, while it was full. No leaks out the lid sides, only slow chug from the drinking spout and air vent. I lost about a teaspoon. Kids, don't do this at home.

  • Brouw3r on 25/06/2019 - 15:28

    I got one of these on the weekend as a few of my keep cup lids are now loose and a bit of coffee spills out. The silicone lid not being able to be closed is not at all an issue for me and for $8 I can't fault it. Much better than a plastic keep cup for ~$10 and much cheaper than a glass keep cup (in which the lid will inevitability fail).

  • [Deactivated] on 25/06/2019 - 15:50

    $5 glass cup from Kmart has done the trick for me fine. Left it on the roof of my car as I was leaving for work and had it fly off as I came out of the driveway onto the bitumen. It made a proper clunk onto it too, but there was absolutely no damage to the cup. The only neg was that I had to drive to work with no coffee.

    Smashcup:
    + Cheaper than keepcup, making it an everyday ozbargainers choice
    + Silicone lid easy to wash.
    - Bit more exy than Target $5 for quite a similar cup (no fighting at an aldi required here)

    Vs.

    Keepcup:
    + Hard plastic top for better tasting coffee (harder to wash)
    + Australian owned
    - More expensive but when on special under $20 easy - see previous ozb deals

    Personally it's all in the lid in my opinion. I'd pay more for the lid design. Functional, can cover the sipping hole and just an overall nice aesthetically pleasing feel to the keepcup. Imo if you are an eneloop fan and am happy to pay for quality, keepcup's not a bad choice!

    • Embaloo on 27/06/2019 - 17:23
