Smaller than you're picturing

Drift holds about a double shot of espresso. It sits between your thumb and two fingers, light enough to forget it's on your bag until you want it.

Three ways to carry a very small cup

Pistachio Drift cup worn on its long aqua cord while whisking matcha

Wear it

The long cord turns the cup into something you put on, like a pendant with a job.

Honey Drift cup clipped to a canvas tote strap on a walk past a cafe

Clip it

The short cord has a ring clip for your bag strap. It's small enough to come along every day.

Sip from it

Slip the cord off and it's a mini cup for espresso, tea, or a small pour.

Ten glazes, one size

Five from the Trail collection and five from the Treat collection, each with its own pair of cords.

Two cords with every cup

The long cord is for wearing. The short cord has a ring clip for your bag. Each cup comes with both, in colors picked to play against its glaze.

Fired in Jingdezhen

The word kaolin comes from Gaoling, a village outside Jingdezhen, the porcelain capital. Drift is shaped from that clay, trimmed by hand, and high-fired for a soft, satin surface.

Fired in Jingdezhen, made for your slowest morning.

Good to know

How big is it, really?

2 oz (60 ml), 1.7 in across the rim and 2 in tall. If you're picturing a coffee mug, picture a shot glass with a handle instead.

Can I actually drink from it?

Yes. Slip the cord off and use it like any small cup for water, tea, or a small pour.

Which cord should I use?

Use the long cord to wear the cup and the short cord with the ring clip to hang it from a bag. Both tie through the handle, and you can leave them off.

Do I get to choose my color?

Yes. Pick any of the ten glazes. Each one comes with the cord colors shown on its photos.

How do I care for it?

Rinse it by hand and let it air dry. Treat it the way you'd treat any small piece of ceramic.
