The problem has been around for years, waiting for a smart solution. Office workers prefer to drink from ceramic, porcelain, or china cups, but don't like to wash them. Cups are either rinsed quickly (and basically stay dirty) or are left in the sink until the cleaner comes at the end of the day. Apart from the aesthetic arguments, there is also the question of office hygiene. Research has shown that the average office cup, used by several people, can carry a high number of infectious germs and contribute to the spread of disease.

All these reasons provided the justification for developing FreshCUP™, the world's first cup-washing machine designed for the office environment. It has the unique ability to clean and sanitize cups in seconds.

FreshCUP™, the micro washer specially designed for offices, will clean and sanitize your cups in seconds. Look at the SIX ADVANTAGES that make FreshCUP™ special:

The patented 1.2 FreshCUP™ BIOCLEANSER detergent is the secret to FreshCUP™'s fast 30 second cycle time and washing system. While other dishwashers dilute cleaning agents with water, FreshCUP™ sprays the undiluted full powered detergents directly onto the cups, thereby getting full cleaning, disinfecting and shining, like no other cleaning system in the market. The yellow alkali detergent cleans, while the green acidic detergent sanitizes and shines the cups, glasses and teaspoons.

Who can use FreshCUP™?

FreshCUP™ can be located in any workplace kitchenette/coffee corner serving up to 50 people that has water, drainage and electricity.

What is the difference between FreshCUP™ and the common dishwasher?

FreshCUP™ washes cups immediately as they reach the coffee break area. You don't need to collect dozens of dirty cups. FreshCUP™ gives you the freedom to wash and sanitize your personal, (or any other) cup in seconds. FreshCUP™ offers the same speed and convenience in cup washing as the microwave does for cooking.

What is the expected detergent consumption?

The detergent pack will wash up to 400 mugs or 600 espresso cups + glasses (on the normal cycle). Average consumption of hot drinks is 3-4 cups per employee per day. So detergent consumption is around 2 cartridges per month.

What is the expected water consumption?

FreshCUP™ uses less water than hand washing and a similar amount of water to what domestic dishwashers use - around 1/6th gallon (600cc) per cup.

What is the expected energy consumption?

It takes 11 watts to wash one cup.

Where can FreshCUP™ be installed?

FreshCUP can be placed on any work surface in the kitchenette or on any shelf that is at least 16" (40cm) square and can support 22 lbs (10 kilos). Water and drainage outlets should be no further than 5 feet (1.5 meters) away.
