Unbreakable cups for hot and cold drinks
A stainless steel cup is a reusable, unbreakable alternative to glass, ceramic and disposable cups, which makes it a practical choice wherever breakage or waste is a problem. Its clean, modern design fits most settings, and it does not crack or chip.
- Drinks — coffee, tea, water, juice or wine.
- Outdoor and events — terraces, pools, campsites and festivals where glass is not welcome.
- Kitchen use — measuring liquids such as milk, oil or vinegar (graduated models, depending on reference).
- Storage — holding utensils or small ingredients on a counter.

Durability, care and safe use
Direct Eco Green sources these cups in stainless steel selected to resist breakage, scratches and corrosion, so one cup can replace a large number of disposables. Follow these care rules:
- Wash by hand with hot soapy water and a soft sponge, or in the dishwasher on a gentle cycle; rinse and dry.
- Avoid steel wool, scouring powder and bleach, and do not leave acidic drinks in the cup for long periods.
- Never heat the cup empty or over very high heat, and store it away from humid or salty air.
- Do not put stainless steel cups in a microwave oven.
A single-wall steel cup conducts heat, so very hot drinks make the outside hot; ask about wall construction if you serve hot beverages. Steel is widely recycled where scrap-metal facilities exist.
Compliance for the US and Canada
Stainless steel cups are outside Canada's Single-use Plastics Prohibition Regulations, which apply to single-use items made from problematic plastics. For the US, request the factory's FDA food-contact compliance letter with your quote and confirm the steel grade in writing. Under the FTC Green Guides, "reusable stainless steel cup" is a specific, supportable claim; avoid an unqualified "eco-friendly" on its own.
Branding and private label
Direct Eco Green can brand the cups with your logo for cafés, events, hotels or retail collections, with the marking method confirmed in your quote. Combine them with stainless steel bowls, cutlery and metal straws or rPET cups in one consolidated shipment. Samples are available before mass production.
Why buy stainless steel cups factory-direct from Direct Eco Green
Direct Eco Green is a manufacturer and sourcing partner, not a distributor: it works with selected, audited partner factories in Asia and Europe, runs quality control on site from Ho Chi Minh City and consolidates several product lines into one shipment. For hotels, restaurant groups, caterers and retail brands ordering high volumes, that means a lower total cost of ownership than re-sold stock, finish and gauge checked before shipping, and one contact from specification to delivery.

Frequently asked questions
What capacities do the stainless steel cups come in?
Direct Eco Green produces reusable stainless steel cups in 200, 300, 400, 500 and 680 ml, roughly 6.8 to 23 fl oz. The cups come in a silver finish and in several shapes depending on the reference.
Can stainless steel cups go in the microwave?
No. Stainless steel cups should never be put in a microwave oven, whatever their size. They are dishwasher-safe and can be washed by hand with hot soapy water.
Do stainless steel cups break?
Stainless steel cups do not break or crack like glass or ceramic, which makes them suited to terraces, pools, events and campsites. They also resist scratches and corrosion with normal care.
Are stainless steel cups good for hot drinks?
Stainless steel cups hold hot drinks such as coffee and tea as well as cold drinks. A single-wall cup conducts heat to the outside, so ask Direct Eco Green about wall construction if you serve very hot beverages.
Can I order stainless steel cups with my logo?
Yes. Direct Eco Green can brand stainless steel cups for private-label, hospitality or event programs, and the marking method is confirmed in your quote. Quotes are sent within 48 hours.
