In a world where growing dynamism leads to new habits of life, we feel a progressive need for objects and instruments that allow us to celebrate new daily rituals that mark the times and moments of our day.

Caffa represents the pleasure of sipping a hot or cold drink while strolling through the city: it is a thermal jug made in 18/10 stainless steel and thermoplastic resin with a vacuum cavity that maintains the beverage‘s temperature.

Its design consists of a cylindrical base that widens into a conical shape that is easy to hold and fits in standard bottle holders for cars, strollers, etc.

It is possible to open and close the cover with a simple hand gesture.

When not in use, the portion of the Travel Mug that comes into contact with the lips is protected by a special cover built into the lid.

KAFFA is a province in southwestern Ethiopia on the border with Sudan. The region is covered by extensive tropical forests and savannah. The temperate climate and fertile soil are particularly suited to crops such as grains, vegetables, fruit, ginger, cotton and coffee, which takes its name from the region.
