The Best Reusable Coffee Cups in Australia (2026)
These are the best reusable coffee cups in Australia in 2026, from shatterproof ceramic and double-walled glass to vacuum-insulated stainless steel, recommended by The Green Hub’s readers and updated for the year.
Australia throws away an estimated 2.7 million single-use coffee cups every day, with more than a billion a year going straight to landfill. Making the switch to a reusable cup is one of the easier sustainable swaps you can make, and the right one will last you years.
The Best Reusable Coffee Cups in Australia
The type of cup you sip your daily brew from is a very personal choice, so I put the question to you, our readers: which reusable coffee cups do you use and love? These are your picks.
Fressko
Fressko is Australian-owned, and the Camino cup has been a favourite of mine for years. The screw-top lid doesn’t leak and has a handy flip-top seal for the sipping part. The stainless steel interior keeps coffee hot for up to three hours, and it has barista lines on the inside so your café can fill it to the right level without guessing. Comes in 8oz and 12oz, fits under a standard coffee machine, and slips into a car cup holder. The outer is scratch-resistant too, so it still looks good after years of bag use.
Sttoke
Coffee tastes different out of stainless steel, and most people who’ve tried a ceramic mug at a café know why. Sttoke gets around the problem with a German Greblon ceramic coating on the inside of their stainless steel cup, so you get the flavour of ceramic without the risk of dropping it on the footpath. Available in 8oz and 12oz, and keeps coffee hot for up to three hours. It won a Gold at the Good Design Awards and comes in a wide range of colours. Worth noting from customer reviews: the exterior can scratch with rough daily use, so it’s better treated with a bit of care than thrown loose in a bag.
Yeti
The Yeti Rambler is built from 18/8 stainless steel with vacuum insulation. It’s noticeably heavier than the other cups on this list, and the base is wider, so check your car cup holder before ordering. The Magslider lid is designed to be opened with one hand, though the design has changed a few times over the years, and some recent reviews note it’s harder to open than older versions. Worth reading the current reviews before you buy. Not the daily commuter cup for everyone, but for long days outdoors or mornings on a job site, it’s hard to beat.
Kinto
With its Japanese roots, Kinto is perfect for the minimalists, ensuring that every element, from grip to sip, is meticulously crafted. The Travel Tumbler is their best-known design, with a wide, circular mouth opening rather than the small sipping hole on most travel cups, so drinking from it feels closer to a regular mug. Vacuum insulated, keeps coffee hot past the five-hour mark in independent tests, and slim enough to fit most car cup holders. Available in 350ml and 500ml. The lid design uses two separate pieces that screw together,
Keep Cup
KeepCup started making reusable cups in Melbourne in 2009 and the press-on lid is still the closest thing to a takeaway cup experience you’ll find in a resuable. Available in tempered glass or lightweight reusable plastic, in sizes from espresso to large. The lid isn’t fully leak-proof, so it’s better suited to carrying in your hand than rattling around in a bag.
Huskee
Made from coffee husk, the outer shell of the coffee bean that’s otherwise discarded during processing, blended into a durable composite material. The cups aren’t insulated, so they’re designed for use at the café rather than keeping coffee hot on a long commute. Huskee also runs an Exchange program at participating cafés; you hand over your dirty cup and get a clean one with your order, no washing required. The universal lid fits every size in the range and can be swapped between cups. At end of life, the HuskeeLoop program takes them back to be processed into new cups.
Montii
An Australian brand that comes in 350ml and 475ml, with the larger size being much bigger than most reusable cups on the market, suited to people who order large coffees or want a cup that works as a water bottle through the rest of the day. The Fusion range uses interchangeable lids and bases, so you can swap between a coffee lid, sipper lid, and smoothie lid on the same cup. Stainless steel, dishwasher safe to 70°C, and comes in a wide range of colours. A few customer reviews mention lid leaking issues on the 350ml, worth checking the current sizing before you buy.
Do cafés in Australia accept reusable cups?
Most independent cafés do, and many offer a small discount when you bring your own. Some larger chains have paused reusable cup programs in recent years, so it’s worth checking with your regular spot. KeepCup and Huskee are the most widely recognised at café counters.
What is the best material for a reusable coffee cup?
It depends on how you drink your coffee. Ceramic and glass keep the flavour cleanest, without the faint metallic taste you can get from stainless steel. Stainless steel insulates better and is harder to break. Shatterproof ceramic, like Sttoke, tries to split the difference.
How long does a reusable cup need to be used to offset a disposable one?
It varies by material and how the cup is made, but most studies put the break-even point at between 15 and 100 uses. If you have a daily coffee habit, most cups pay back their production footprint within a few weeks.
Are reusable coffee cups dishwasher safe?
Most are, but check the individual brand. Lids with silicone seals usually prefer a hand wash to stay leak-proof over time. Glass and ceramic bodies are generally fine in the dishwasher; double-walled stainless steel is usually top rack only.
