SILVER + EDITOR'S CHOICE
Best Reusable Bottle / Cup 2026

$90.00

Groundd is a precision-engineered plunger cup designed to brew and stop perfectly, allowing users to enjoy real tea or coffee anywhere without pods, tea bags, or single-use waste.

Made from excellent, non-toxic materials. Surgical-grade stainless steel, FDA-grade silicone, BPA-free Tritan, lead-free borosilicate glass, antimicrobial brass and walnut timber.
Groundd designs and engineers its products in Margaret River, Western Australia and manufactures them through carefully selected specialist partners in China, maintaining direct and transparent relationships, including site visits and facility audits. All manufacturing partners confirm compliance with international labour standards, including the prohibition of child and forced labour and operate in regulated industrial zones with safe conditions and appropriate wages. Every material used is deliberately selected and disclosed, with full transparency provided through the website and packaging. All components are replaceable to discourage disposable consumption.
Groundd eliminates single-use waste by directly replacing disposable takeaway cups, coffee pods and plastic-lined tea bags, with each cup offsetting thousands of disposables over its lifetime. All components are individually replaceable, extending product lifespan and preventing full-product disposal. Packaging is recyclable or compostable, using crafted card stock and minimal ink. Used coffee grounds, tea leaves and all packaging are compostable. Groundd also contributes over 1% of revenue to ocean and waterway plastic cleanup initiatives as a 1% for the Planet member.
Groundd contributes more than 1% of every sale to ocean and waterway plastic cleanup efforts, creating measurable environmental impact through its Plastic Removal Impact Model. The brand educates consumers about microplastics in tea bags, waste from coffee pods and plastic-lined takeaway cups, empowering informed decision-making. It encourages composting and worm farming to support regenerative habits and advocates for “repair, don’t replace” to reduce waste and promote repair culture.

Product Reviews by Experts


Despite not being a coffee drinker, I have loved using this for my tea (which I drink several times a day!). Sometimes the multiple steps to using loose leaf tea feel too time consuming when I’m racing out the door in the mornings, so I find myself opting for a tea bag, but the GROUNDD Xpress allows me to take a beautiful loose leaf tea on the go. This is both a beautiful and supportive product. I love that this beautiful product makes an impact on single use waste in several ways. Reducing take away cup use, coffee pod use + tea bag use. I am also impressed that every single part of this product can be replaced, which demonstrates a genuine ‘repair over replacement’ philosophy.


This is a fantastic option for one person. It has a really effective filter, is easy to take apart and clean, doesn’t leak or spill, and is lightweight. I love that it’s completely plastic-free, made from glass, and comes with a beautiful protective wood sleeve that adds both durability and style. It’s practical and thoughtfully designed. What stood out to me most is the level of care and intention behind the brand. I really appreciate that GROUNDD has focused on creating a product that’s built to last, rather than something that needs to be replaced every few years. The emphasis on durable materials, replaceable parts, and transparent manufacturing practices shows a genuine commitment to reducing waste and doing things thoughtfully. I also love that they’re open about the materials they use and have invested in testing to give customers confidence in the product. On top of that, their support of environmental initiatives and commitment to a repair-over-replace mindset reflects a broader philosophy that feels authentic and values driven rather than simply following a trend. You can tell that they genuinely care about this product.


It looks unique and interesting. I think it is a clever and well-engineered product for coffee/tea. The fact that it brews and stops in the same cup, with zero pods, bags, or filters, and gives you a genuinely great cup of tea wherever you are is just brilliant. Impressed that there’s no hidden coatings, no unknown composites, no unnecessary plastics since some brands have done this in the past! Additionally, the 1% for the Planet ocean cleanup contribution, the fully replaceable components, the compostable packaging all adds up to a product built on a genuinely coherent sustainability philosophy rather than a collection of nice gestures!
