Lightweight at 72g, perfectly sized for espresso, cortados, and macchiatos, and completely unbreakable. Featuring a distinctive tactile pebble texture, it delivers the premium aesthetic of ceramic without the fragility. Made in India. Certified non-toxic. India's first rice husk biocomposite espresso cup.
What Is Rice Husk Biocomposite?
Rice husk biocomposite is made by blending upcycled rice husk — a byproduct of Indian rice milling — with a food-grade polypropylene (PP) binding polymer. The result is a tough, lightweight, non-toxic material built for years of daily use. It upcycles agricultural waste that would otherwise be burned, reducing carbon emissions while creating a premium, reusable product that outlasts ceramic by years.
