A cup you use every day should get the little things right.
A non-slip rubber base keeps your cup steady on desks, tray tables and wherever else you set it down.
A simple flip-top lid makes one-handed drinking easy when you’re on the move.
4, 8 and 12 oz markings inside, so you always know exactly how much you’re pouring.
Before autonomy, I was a chef at The Fat Duck, then ranked the world’s #1 restaurant, before co-founding HelloFresh and becoming its Head Chef.
Then I learned something I couldn’t unlearn: nearly all paper cups are lined with plastic. And that plastic leaches into your hot drinks.
As a chef, husband and dad, that wasn’t good enough for my family.
So I made a cup I’d actually want us to use every day.
You deserve better. Now you have it.

“I think about what touches my food and drinks every day. Once you know many paper coffee cups are lined with plastic, carrying a reusable cup is a very simple choice.”
Yes. We designed the Optimist for mornings that don’t happen at a kitchen table. It fits standard car cup holders, and the non-slip rubber base helps it stay put when it isn’t in one.
The flip-top lid is designed to keep your drink securely inside while you’re walking, driving or generally getting on with your day.
Pretty much anything you’d normally put in a cup. Coffee, matcha, cold brew, tea, protein shakes. The 4, 8 and 12 oz markings inside also make it easy to measure as you pour.
Most disposable paper cups contain a thin plastic lining to stop them leaking. Research has found that microplastic particles can migrate from these linings into hot liquid. We’d rather use one good cup, again and again.
Turn it around. You’ll see.
