Eight colors

Every piece, in every color

Snow, Alpenglow, Rowan, Glacier, Granite, Lichen, Fjord and Basalt: a white, a pale rose, a clear red, two blues, a gray, an olive and a black, the same on all ten pieces.

Eight Camp Mugs 12 in a straight row on frost white, from Snow to Basalt, their handles to the right

Each in its own color

Choose a color and all ten below change to it, each at its own price.

The ten in this color

Each piece is sold on its own, at the same price in every color. Screens show color a little differently, so the cup in your hand may read a touch lighter or deeper.

The ten

All ten, side by side

Three tumblers for cold drinks through a straw, three bottles to carry, three mugs and a jar for coffee, tea and lunch. Each at one price, whatever the color.

Each one shown in its own color

Tumblers03

Three tall tumblers with straws, for cold drinks. The Daily Tumbler 40 has a side handle and a lid you turn to straw, sip or closed. The Flip Tumbler 30 has no side handle, a straw that flips up and a handle over the lid. The Snap Tumbler 40 has the same tall handle body as the Daily, with a straw that folds flat into a clear lid.

Bottles03

Three bottles, three ways to drink. The Flip Bottle 24 has a flip-up straw and a carry loop. The Shaker Bottle 20 mixes cold drinks through a strainer and has a storage base underneath. The Slim Bottle 20 has a small cap, and its whole top unscrews for ice.

Mugs & jars04

For coffee, tea and lunch. The Commute Mug 12 has a sip lid and a cap you carry by its loop. The Flip Top Mug 12 is slim, with a tab that flips open under your thumb. The Camp Mug 12 is short and wide, with a handle and a clear lid. And the Food Jar 14 has a lid with a brushed steel top and a spork on its side.

Blue hour on a clear winter evening: a spruce branch heavy with rime frost, a snowy field and the Snap Tumbler 40 in Snow on a snowy fence post

The name

Cold you can see

Rime is the feathery frost that grows on cold things in clear winter air: spruce needles, fence wire, the tips of the grass. It is cold you can see. We named the shop after it, for cups that bring a little of that morning along, in a color you picked yourself.

What it is made of

Steel inside, color outside

What each piece is made of, as the maker describes it, and what we are still checking for our own units.

  1. The walls

    Two walls of stainless steel with a vacuum sealed between them, as described by the maker. That is how the cup is built, not a promise: we put no figures on it before we have tested our own units.

  2. The color

    A coating on the outside of the steel only, tone on tone, with no logo and no print on it. What the coating is made of is being confirmed with the maker.

  3. The lids

    Lids, covers and straws are plastic and the seals silicone, as described by the maker. Where a seal lifts out, take it out to wash it. The Food Jar’s lid has a brushed steel top.

  4. What we are checking

    Written confirmation and lab reports for our own units: the steel, the coating, the plastics and the seals, food contact and California’s Proposition 65. Until they arrive, we describe each piece only as the maker does.

The details for each piece, and what is still pending, are on our Materials & Prop 65 page.

Through the day

Out the door

Five places a cup goes in an ordinary week, and one small habit for each.

  1. A bright city sidewalk on a cold clear morning: an adult in a camel wool coat walks with the Commute Mug 12 in Rowan held by its carry loop

    The commute

    A hot coffee, the sip lid screwed in, the cap screwed on over it, the mug carried upright by its loop. Hot drinks go in a mug like this one, never under a straw.

  2. The Snap Tumbler 40 in Glacier with ice water on a pale oak desk by a big window, a plain notebook beside it, a hand on the handle

    The desk

    A big tumbler of ice water by the laptop, and the small snap of the cover as the straw flips up between two emails. Put the ice in first, then the water, and leave a little room at the top.

  3. A quiet gym with tall windows and cold morning light: an adult carries the Flip Bottle 24 in Fjord by its loop

    The gym

    It hangs from your fingers by its loop on the way in, then waits on the bench, spout folded down, while you train. Fill it with ice and water at home, before you leave.

  4. A picnic table by a cold lake at dawn, rime on its edge: the Food Jar 14 in Lichen open with a warm soup, and the Camp Mug 12 in Rowan with a hot drink

    The lake at dawn

    Soup in the jar, coffee in the mug, frost still on the edge of the table and mist on the water. Warm the jar with hot water before you fill it at home, and open it slowly, away from your face.

  5. Inside a parked car in a snowy driveway, engine off: the Daily Tumbler 40 in Alpenglow in the center cup holder, frost at the edges of the windshield

    The car

    Ice in, lid on and the straw in before you leave the house. Check that it sits firmly in your cup holder while you are parked, and drink only when you are parked, never while driving.

Care

Care in three steps

A short job at the sink after every use: lid off, cap off, every part apart on a towel to dry.

  1. Take it apart

    Lid off, straw out, and lift out any seal that comes out. A cap, a sip lid, a strainer or a storage base: whatever your piece has, take it off too.

  2. Wash every part

    Warm soapy water for every part, and a slim brush through the straw and the spout. Rinse under the covers and the tabs, where the last of a drink likes to hide.

  3. Let it dry apart

    Leave every part on a towel until it is fully dry, then put it back together. A lid screwed onto a damp seal is the one habit to skip.

Dishwasher use is being confirmed with the maker, so wash by hand for now. Never put a cup in the microwave or the freezer.

Questions

Before you order

Anything else? Write to us from our contact page. We reply within 2 business days.

Which one is for me?

For a cold drink with a straw: the Daily Tumbler 40, the Flip Tumbler 30, the Snap Tumbler 40 or the Flip Bottle 24. For coffee or tea: the Commute Mug 12, the Flip Top Mug 12 or the Camp Mug 12. For lunch: the Food Jar 14. For mixing a cold drink: the Shaker Bottle 20. And for cold water in something slim: the Slim Bottle 20.

Is every color on every piece?

Yes. All ten come in the same eight colors, from Snow to Basalt, and the price does not change with the color. Screens show color a little differently, so the one in your hand may look a touch lighter or deeper.

Can I put coffee in a straw tumbler?

No. Never use a straw lid with a hot drink: hot liquid drawn through a straw can scald. For coffee or tea, take one of the mugs and open the lid slowly; with a hot drink, let it cool a little before the first sip. Put hot drinks out of the reach of children, and never put a cup in the microwave. More on our Use & Safety page.

How cold, and for how long?

Every piece is double-wall, vacuum-insulated stainless steel, as described by the maker. We are testing our own units before we put any figure on it, so for now we give none: no times, no promises.

Will it go in my car’s cup holder?

We are measuring the base of each piece and checking it in common car cup holders. Until that is done we would rather not guess, so we make no promise either way.

Can it go in the dishwasher?

We are confirming that with the maker, part by part. Until then, wash everything by hand in warm soapy water, run a brush through the straws and spouts, and let every part dry apart.

What is it made of?

Double-wall, vacuum-insulated stainless steel with a coating on the outside, plastic lids, covers and straws, and silicone seals, all as described by the maker. The Food Jar’s lid has a brushed steel top. We are collecting written confirmation and lab reports for our own units, and our Materials & Prop 65 page shows where each one stands.

Can I return it after using it?

Not for a change of mind. Our pieces touch what you drink and eat, so anything that has held a drink or food cannot come back unless it is faulty, damaged or wrong, and those are always replaced or refunded. Unused, in its original packaging, it can come back within 30 days of delivery, so check the color before the first fill. How returns work.

How long does delivery take?

Allow about 8 to 15 business days from order confirmation. Orders leave our partner warehouse overseas within 1 to 3 business days and travel 7 to 12 business days, with tracking. Shipping and import duties are included in the price, and we deliver to the 50 US states and Washington, D.C. Deliveries to Alaska and Hawaii can take a few days longer. You can cancel an order at no charge until it ships.

Can I order now?

Not yet. The company that runs RIME is being registered in the United States, and online payment is being set up. Until both are done, the shop takes no orders and nothing is charged. You can still look around, pick colors and fill a cart.

Pick a color, add ice

Ten tumblers, bottles and mugs, the same eight colors on every one, each at one price. The frost is on the window. The color is up to you.
