The Story

From Melbourne
with love.

When Lisa moved to Melbourne, Australia, coffee became an essential part of her life. As a barista, she spent her working hours making coffees — and in her free time, she would meet friends for coffee catch-ups or go on coffee walks. She loved the fact that almost everyone had their own reusable takeaway cup: a reflection of Australian coffee culture combined with a deep sense of environmental consciousness.

"That's how HEY SAHNI came to life. Lisa dedicated this project to two of the things she loves most: her friends who called her Sahni for most of her life — and, of course, coffee."

After moving back to Germany, Lisa never stopped missing her life in Australia. Even though Berlin also had a great café culture, reusable cups were simply not as popular. When the colors of her beloved cup started to fade, she couldn't find a worthy replacement anywhere — so she decided to take matters into her own hands.

That's how HEY SAHNI came to life. Lisa dedicated this project to two of the things she loves most: her friends who called her Sahni for most of her life — and, of course, coffee.

How We Work

From idea to your hands.

01
The Idea

Everything starts with a real-life observation. Lisa's own search for the perfect cup became the spark for everything HEY SAHNI stands for today.

02
Design & Color

Each edition is thoughtfully designed over two to four months — every detail, from form to color, crafted with care and creativity by Lisa and her team.

03
Production

Premium double-wall stainless steel. A sliding, spill-proof lid. Practical carry loop. Every material chosen to last — and to replace single-use alternatives for good.

04
Limited & Special

Each style is released as a limited edition. Once it's gone, it may not return — which makes every HEY SAHNI cup a little more unique and a little more yours.

The Product

Built for your everyday.

HEY SAHNI stainless steel cups are the ideal alternative to disposable takeaway cups — offering an eco-friendly solution without compromising on style. With double-wall insulation, your drink stays at the perfect temperature whether it's hot or cold, winter or summer.

Say goodbye to lukewarm coffee after a short walk in the cold, or melted ice cubes in your iced latte on a hot summer's day. You can even enjoy a chilled sip of wine from your cup while having a picnic in the park.

The environmental impact of throwaway paper cups is increasingly recognized — which is why many cafés offer discounts when you bring your own cup. By choosing HEY SAHNI, you contribute to a more sustainable world and save money while you're at it.

  • Hot up to 8 h · Cold up to 12 h All-day temperature retention — perfect for coffee, matcha, iced latte and more.
  • Sliding spill-proof lid Safe in your bag, on your commute, at your desk — no leaks, no worries.
  • Premium stainless steel Easy to clean by hand. Avoid the dishwasher to keep the vibrant color looking fresh.
  • Limited editions Once a style sells out, it may not return — making each cup even more special.
