"After several weeks of use, I must say that this cup performs greatly. Like what others have said, this cup allows the coffee to lower in temperature which didn't colour the flavour of the coffee in a bad way. The flavours have been consistent from cup after cup. I've even put the cup through the greatest test of all - leave left over coffee in there for several hours. In most cups, that will forever taint the scent of the cup which will also alter the aromatics you experience while drinking from it. The leftover oils didn't seem to latch onto the cup too much, and whatever scent was left was removed by a simple wash with dish soap."
- Robert Agcaoili (Coffee Expert, blogger at gridwriter.com)
"I now use my Keep Cup every day at work. It keeps my soy or almond milk chai latte nicely warm, is great for the environment, and is very easy to clean - I put it in the work dishwasher overnight and take it out the next morning to reuse."
KeepCup's mission is to encourage the use of reusable cups, and divert the number of disposable cups that go to landfill each year. Every minute over 1 millions cups are thrown away! KeepCup actively strives to change how people think about our convenience culture.
Based in Melbourne Australia, one of the world's great coffee culture cities, KeepCup is also commited to reducing their own environmental footprint, with local manufacture, printing and packaging.

Agar is a red seaweed extract used as a vegetarian gelatine and thickening agent in food. While mainly known for its use as highly effective gelling agent, it is also very healthy and high in nutrition.
Agar is a Malay word that means 'jelly'. Pacific Harvest's Agar is an extract made from several different red seaweeds belonging to the botanical family called gelidium. The jelly is flavourless, odourless and colourless, which makes agar an unusual product with endless possibilities.
Add 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of agar powder per cup of liquid and heat to dissolve. Cool to thicken.
Can be used in exactly the same way as gelatine but must be prepared in a certain way. Before using agar in a recipe, the powder must be allowed to re-hydrate & dissolve in a liquid and then simmered for several minutes before setting. The product is superior to gelatine as it doesn't melt easily in warm weather and has a firmer texture. Agar also harmonises the texture of an uneven blend.
100% Agar dried sea vegetable - free of additives.
"I had some recipes that required agar agar powder. This product worked perfectly. That's all I can ask!"
- Kevin Strnad (USA)
"I use this to make vegan cheese from almond milk. Delicious! This is my first time using agar powder; it is now a staple in my kitchen."
Doug and Louise Fawcett bought Pacific Harvest in 2002 with the idea of making sea vegetables a more integral part of Western cooking with a focus equally on the superfood aspects of seaweed as well as providing a great taste experience.
New Zealand based Pacific Harvest supplies fine seaweed which are made in small and high quality batches. Their types of seaweed from New Zealand include Karengo (NZ Nori) , Agar and Kelp. All of the sea vegetables are selected and hand-harvested by professionals that have made a career of harvesting seaweed. This process is undertaken in areas of New Zealand where nature has remained pristine and free of contaminants.
This unique brow pencil formula from our favourite range of Ere Perez natural makeup glides on smoothly to fill in or define eyebrows. Its versatility suits people with a wide range of natural hair colours, from blonde to brown and right through to pitch black. You can enhance the colour by simply applying it more lightly or heavily depending on the look you want to achieve.
It dries naturally and beautifully, and the brush included allows you to comb the browns to distribute the colour evenly.
Apply as you would your normal eyebrow pencil, and prepare yourself for beautiful naturally defined eyebrows. Increase or decrease the colour to match your hair and skin tones by applying more or less as you like.
Gently remove with eye makeup remover or almond oil using an organic cotton pad dampened with water.
"Ere Perez's Almond Oil Brow Pencil is a realistic shade that doesn’t make my eyebrows appear obviously filled in. I found the texture of the pencil to be quite creamy which allowed me to draw a rough guide to where I was filling and then tidy the hairs into place with the brush on the lid."
- Kimberly Nissen (Australia)
"I absolutely love this brow pencil - it’s the perfect shade for my blonde brows. You only need to apply a little bit and it fills in your brows beautifully and looks super natural. I also have friends who use the exact same shade but just apply more and it matches their skin and hair tones brilliantly too. And of course like all our beauty products, no animal testing!"
- Buffy Ellen, founder of begoodorganics.com (Auckland, New Zealand)
