KINTO CAST Series Cups
Best minimalist glassware for design-conscious coffee and tea enthusiasts.
KINTO’s CAST cups are lightweight, airy vessels designed specifically to interfere as little as possible with your drinking experience. The shape and height of the cup along with the form of the handle are crafted in such a way that the center of gravity is perfectly balanced, which relieves stress on your wrist and makes for a smooth, flowing drinking experience. The glass is so thin and elegant to hold, you’d be forgiven for forgetting you were holding anything at all. In fact, CAST cups create an optical illusion wherein the actual glass disappears when you pour a beverage inside, making it seem as though your drink is holding its shape all by itself. CAST cups come in a variety of sizes, designed to suit all sorts of beverages, from straight espressos to cappuccinos, lattes, and larger beverages like drip coffee.
