Perfect for both espresso & filter coffee, this new collection of sensory cups and complementary carafe are designed to unlock coffee’s rich flavors while giving you a complete sensory experience unlike any drinkware you’ve ever used.

The Avensi Wave Collection is our most challenging project we’ve ever developed.

It introduces a unique cup architecture that has never been successfully executed in the history of drinkware design… until now.

For thousands of years, normal cups have always been round and symmetrical. 

This standard shape makes the manufacturing methods MUCH simpler and cheaper. Traditional ceramic is rotated on a ceramic throwing wheel, while modern techniques use liquid clay poured into a mold, but these techniques don’t allow for complex internal shapes. This is why there’s never been a coffee cup that’s made to swirl and aerate effectively.

Handcrafted in both glass & ceramic, there’s nothing similar due to the complexity of manufacturing and steps required to make this one-of-a-kind design.

At its core lies the innovation we call: Aeration Waves™.

The anatomy of the Aeration Waves™ comprises 2-pairs of specially designed divergent ridges, that aerate the flavors for a completely new experience.

The Aeration Waves™ make this possible by forcing the coffee to follow a new flow pattern that introduces micro-bubbles as you swirl.

These never-before-seen, meticulously engineered ridges within the cup don’t just hold your coffee; they breathe life into it.

We set out to craft an exceptional collection that is equal parts form and function. Aesthetically, it had to capture the eyes and become an instant centerpiece to appreciate in your own ritual or gatherings among friends.

On top of its stunning aesthetic, the collection was crafted to be equally innovative in its functionality. Avensi Wave unlocks the aromas and flavors hiding in your brews and introduces a truly unique way to experience your coffee.

You Wouldn’t Drink Your Wine Out of a Plastic Cup, so why drink your coffee from a cup that doesn’t reveal its full potential?

The ordinary ceramic mug is ancient—literally. Even the insulated metal mug was designed as a simple vessel—a means to an end for consuming coffee without any purpose or thought for enhancing the flavor or the drinking experience.

The wine and spirit industries have spent decades taking a scientific approach to creating the perfect glass shapes that improve taste, aroma, and flavor.

Connoisseurs of these drinks have figured out that the type of glass you serve it in can make or break the entire drinking experience—they consider their glasses the MOST important tool for the fullest appreciation of taste, aroma, and flavor.

The vision for AVENSI Wave was to create revolutionary drinkware that combines the science and engineering from wine and spirit glasses and perfect it for the coffee experience.

The result is a new category of coffee drinkware with beautiful iconic design that enhances aroma and flavor—a new way to experience your coffee.

Avensi Wave is an invitation to engage all of our senses. Where the beauty of sight, pleasure of touch, depth of smell, and richness of taste come together to create the ultimate sensory experience.

Avensi Wave is the world’s first cup designed with Aeration Waves™ and the optimal shape that allows you to swirl to aerate & reveal the unique flavors in your coffee.

How does swirling elevate our coffee experience?

Because it unlocks 3 new ways to appreciate your coffee’s most unique aromas & flavors.

As you swirl, the Aeration Waves™  work to maximize the surface area of your coffee, creating large waves that coat the inner walls with a thin layer of coffee.

Just like wine & whiskey, this maximizes the release of aromatic molecules while the “Diffusion Chamber” captures and focuses those delicate aromas to your nose that are normally lost in regular mugs.

The Aeration Waves™ work harmoniously to aerate the flavors as you swirl… creating a symphony of micro-bubbles, unlocking layers of aroma and flavor previously trapped in your brew.

Swirling allows you to take control of your coffee’s temperature for the most unique exploration of your coffee’s flavors.

Coffee is so special because it expresses different flavor notes at different temperatures. By gently swirling, you can cool your coffee down and experience the full spectrum of flavors it has to offer.

Served hot, coffee aromas are at their peak. Then as your coffee cools, the aromas develop and give way for more complex and sweeter flavors, with the most unique volatile compounds that contribute to sweet, fruity, floral, herbal, acidic, and nutty notes revealing at temperatures closer to your body temperature.

The collection consists of one-of-a-kind pieces that will forever transform your ritual and how you enjoy coffee both by yourself or in company with your friends.

The Cyclone is unlike any coffee server you’ve ever seen–it redefines the coffee serving experience with its unparalleled design.

Featuring the same Aeration Wave™ design found throughout our collection, it also introduces the unique Aroma Peak™, inspired by the world of high-end wine decanters. As you brew, it cascades over the Peak and it diffuses and magnifies your coffee’s aromas.

The Cyclone is the perfect companion for your Avensi Wave cups, keeping your coffee warm while you enjoy sipping. By swirling, you gently cool your coffee to the ideal drinking temperature before serving.

Designed as a set, Cyclone is stacks effortlessly with the rest of your collection ensuring easy serving and neat storage.

Drawing inspiration from our original iconic Alto glass, the remastered
Wave Alto elevates the coffee tasting experience with its refined hourglass silhouette.

This shape amplifies the most delicate aromatics, perfectly positioning your nose at the center of the aromas, while its wide rim delicately disperses your coffee across your palate, accentuating its brightness. The result is an unmatched sensory experience, designed to enhance every nuance of your coffee’s flavor profile.

Although initially crafted for filter coffee, feedback from our community reveals its remarkably adaptable for exploring and enjoying the depths of espresso too.

Perfectly paired with the Cyclone and Aeresso for tasting, serving, and storage.

Inspired by our iconic Senti glass, the Aeresso features an elegant domed shape designed to capture and intensify espresso’s rich aromas while enhancing its sweetness.

With each swirl, the meticulously designed Aeration Waves™ not only aerate the flavors but also mix the layers of your espresso for a balanced flavor in every sip. No spoon needed.

This is a completely new way to appreciate your espresso.

While initially created with espresso in mind, the insights from our community have shown its incredible flexibility so it also doubles as tasting glass for enhancing your favorite filter coffees.

Perfectly paired with the Cyclone and Alto for tasting, serving, and storage.

These elegant cork sleeves were designed as unique accessories you can use to personalize your glass Alto and Aeresso so you can sip in style.

These are added as a special bonus in select reward tiers.

To celebrate our very first foray into espresso, we’re launching a limited edition series of hand crafted ceramic Aeresso Cups.

It features a heftier 4mm rim, that’s common with classic espresso cups. The thicker rim spreads a thin layer of coffee over your tongue, enhancing the rich body of your espresso.

We might be a small team of 3 coffee loving friends. But we’ve got big dreams to elevate the coffee drinking experience.

Launching a movement to change how coffee is appreciated isn’t a small task—and we knew we couldn’t do it alone.



So we shared our ideas with our supporters and the coffee community around the world– inviting collaboration, feedback, and ideas.

It was a collective effort involving world champion coffee experts, coffee scientists, roasters, coffee shop owners, and of course, our community of supporters around the world that brought new Avensi Wave Collection to life.
