Avensi Wave isn’t just your typical drinkware—forged through an unprecedented, almost impossible manufacturing process—it’s a collection of unique art piecesprecision engineered to unlock your coffee’s rich flavors & aromas

The Avensi Wave Collection collection is designed to redefine your coffee experience, turning morning moments alone and gatherings with friends into deeply memorable rituals.

Each piece has one-of-a-kind artistic form that captures attention at first glance and an innovative inner structure that unlocks coffee’s full flavor potential. 

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

Hand crafted from mouth-blown borosilicate glass, each piece is meticulously shaped by the highest caliber master artisans with decades of experience.

Unlike ordinary cups & servers, which rely on simple manufacturing methods, our patent-pending design demands extraordinary precision. Through an innovative, proprietary three-part mold process––never been attempted before––every piece is uniquely challenging to craft, and impossible to replicate by normal mass manufacturing methods. 

Using premium materials and refined finishing touches, each piece is truly one-of-a-kind.

Nothing similar exists due to the complexity of manufacturing and number of steps required to make this intricate, one-of-a-kind design we call Aeration Waves™.

The anatomy consists of 2-pairs of opposing, divergent ridges–shaped like ramps. They’re the world’s first true aeration technology built into our handcrafted glass and ceramic drinkware. 


These precision-crafted ridges were engineered from the ground up to dramatically enhance aeration and unlock flavor as you swirl through three mechanisms: 

  • (1) increased surface waves
  • (2) micro-bubble formation, and 
  • (3) turbulent mixing

Avensi Wave’s patent pending design is the first and only drinkware to achieve all three aeration mechanisms simultaneously

It’s a distinctly unique creation, blending artistry and flavor enhancement in a way no other drinkware ever has.

1.4 Design: Aesthetics

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 a 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 and only drinkware designed with Aeration Wave™ ridges that allow you to swirl to aerate & reveal the unique flavors in your coffee.

How do these ridges work to elevate our coffee experience?

They unlock coffee’s deepest flavors and aromas through 3 new innovative aeration mechanisms, each designed for a unique sensory enhancement:

As you swirl, the Aeration Waves™ form larger surface waves, maximizing the surface area of your coffee and coating the inner walls with a thin layer of coffee. 

Just like wine & whiskey, this allows the coffee to quickly evaporate, maximizing 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 unique architecture of Aeration Waves™ creates a symphony of micro-bubbles with each swirl, infusing your coffee with fresh air, unlocking layers of aroma and flavor previously trapped in your brew

The Aeration Waves are designed as opposing ramps, with the top ramp directing coffee downwards, while the bottom ramp directs coffee upwards to the surface. Each swirl thoroughly mixes the layers of your coffee and allows you to control the temperature for the most unique exploration of your coffee’s flavors—all without a spoon.

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.

Each glass piece is artfully mouth blown and hand crafted by a team of 5 master craftsmen. A combined 35 years of experience goes into crafting every single glass.

Each ceramic cup is handcrafted in Chiang Mai, Thailand by NA NAWA studio, an award winning 2-generation family run ceramic studio with over 30 years of experience crafting custom table wares for Michelin star restaurants.

Each uniquely crafted piece in this collection is designed to redefine your coffee experience, transforming morning moments alone and gatherings with friends into memorable rituals.

Thanks to feedback from our community, our latest collection includes 6 new colorways.

The Cyclone is the standout bestseller from our collection—and rightfully so. Unparalleled in form and function, its striking design makes it the most unique coffee server in the world, and will transform the way you experience your favorite brews.

Inspired by the elegance of high-end wine decanters, the Cyclone features the distinctive Aroma Peak™, an inverted cone that’s designed to gently cascade freshly brewed coffee over its apex, dramatically maximizing surface area to accelerate aroma diffusion. This innovative design unlocks vibrant, expressive aromas faster than traditional servers, ensuring your coffee’s aromatic compounds are experienced at their peak freshness and intensity.

Combined with our proprietary Aeration Wave™ ridges, the Cyclone elevates flavor and aroma to a level no other server can match. Each swirl actively infuses your coffee with air, generating hundreds of micro-bubbles, folding layers of coffee to reveal fresh flavor notes, and magnifying aroma release. This gentle swirling also cools your coffee to the ideal drinking temperature, uncovering hidden, nuanced flavors.

Designed as the perfect companion for your Avensi Wave cups, the Cyclone keeps your coffee warm as you sip, and stacks effortlessly with your collection for elegant serving and convenient storage.

Trusted by award-winning coffee barista & brewers champions around the world to unlock the full potential of their brews––now you can experience the same level of aroma and flavor celebrated by coffee experts at the highest level.

Drawing inspiration from our original iconic Alto glass, the remastered Wave Alto glass 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 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.

Introducing Aeresso GO, the newest sensory innovation in our iconic espresso glass lineup. Crafted in collaboration with world renowned Stronghold Roasters, it features a distinctive new addition—our signature Aroma Peak™. Inspired by luxury wine decanters, the Aroma Peak™ gently cascades your espresso over its apex, diffusing and amplifying aromas to elevate your tasting experience.

Thoughtfully designed as a smaller, single-shot espresso version of the original Aeresso, the Aeresso GO delivers versatile elegance at home, in cafés, and at curated tastings. 

As an added bonus for coffee enthusiasts attending expos or omakase-style coffee experiences, each Aeresso GO includes a sleek carry-sleeve and lanyard, making it a sustainable, reusable, and sophisticated alternative to single-use plastic and paper cups.

Designed with the same iconic Aeresso silhouette & Aeration Waves™, the heftier 4mm ceramic rim naturally spreads a thin layer of coffee over your tongue, intensifying body and texture. The high-quality ceramic retains heat beautifully, keeping your espresso at the perfect temperature for longer, while the stunning hand-glazed finish makes each piece a collectible addition to your coffee ritual—whether enjoyed solo or shared with friends.

We’re introducing three new limited-edition handcrafted ceramic Aeresso cups: Rose Pink, Stronghold Red and Sunrise Mandarin. 

Inspired by multi-sensory science, these limited-edition colors are designed to enhance your coffee experience. Research shows that the color of your cup isn’t just visual—it directly influences how you perceive coffee’s sweetness, acidity, and body.

It’s no surprise that World Coffee Champions strategically choose specific cup colors to enhance their competition coffees, bringing out their most desirable flavors. Now, you can experiment with the same sensory techniques used by the world’s top baristas to transform the way you experience your everyday espresso.

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



Each glass cup will include a complimentary silicone sleeve.
