What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the Kinto Kronos cup for its exceptional design and functional elegance. The minimalist aesthetic creates a visually appealing beverage presentation. A key strength is the double wall insulation, which effectively maintains drink temperature while keeping the exterior comfortable and condensation free. Users also appreciate the comfortable feel, smooth rim, and ergonomic design for a pleasant sipping experience. While the borosilicate glass construction is valued for clarity, some users note its inherent fragility. Despite this consideration, satisfaction remains high due to the superior blend of sophisticated form and practical function, making it a worthwhile investment for those prioritizing design and temperature retention.
Know before you buy
The double-wall insulation is highly effective at maintaining temperature compared to standard single-wall glass. While it won't keep coffee piping hot for hours like a vacuum-insulated travel mug, it significantly slows heat loss, keeping your drink at an enjoyable temperature for the duration of a typical coffee break.
Yes, the ring is specifically designed to provide a secure, ergonomic grip. It allows you to hold the cup comfortably without your fingers touching the hot glass surface, even when the cup is filled with boiling liquid.
Absolutely. The KRONOS cup is made from durable, heat-resistant glass that is fully microwave and dishwasher safe, making it convenient for daily use.
No. The double-wall construction prevents condensation from forming on the exterior, keeping your tabletops dry and eliminating the need for a coaster.
Yes, the cup is very versatile. Because the glass is heat-resistant and the insulation works for both temperatures, it is excellent for iced coffee, cocktails, or even serving chilled desserts like mousse or parfaits.
The cup has a capacity of 250ml, which is ideal for a standard cappuccino, a small latte, or a generous pour of drip coffee.
