Groundd Xpress Coffee & Tea Brewing Cup

The Groundd xpress lets you brew a proper coffee or tea and drink it from the same cup. It brews like a French press but with one important difference, when you press the plunger down, the extraction stops. Your coffee won’t keep getting stronger and more bitter as it sits, so the last sip tastes just like the first.

Designed in Margaret River, WA, the xpress won a 2026 Australian Good Design Award and took Silver and Editor’s Choice at the Clean + Conscious Awards 2026.

How the GROUNDD Xpress Stands Out

A Plunger That Stops the Brew

In a standard French press, coffee keeps sitting on the grounds after you plunge, so it continues to extract. The xpress plunger seals tightly against the glass wall and uses two opposing valves to separate your coffee from the spent grounds. Press down when it tastes right and the strength you chose is locked in.

Keeps Your Coffee Hotter for Longer

Because the plunger and grounds stay at the base of the cup, your coffee isn’t poured off into a separate, cooler vessel. It stays in the cup it was brewed in, so it holds its heat for longer.

Thick, Hand-Blown Borosilicate Glass

The cup is hand-blown from lead-free borosilicate glass, the same heat-resistant glass used in lab equipment. GROUNDD has made it thicker than standard for added durability, and a walnut sleeve gives you a comfortable grip when the cup is hot.

Brew, Drink or Take It With You

Drink straight from the glass at home, or twist the 360° lid a quarter turn to seal it and take it with you. The cup is roughly the diameter of a drink can, so it fits most car cup holders.

Built to Be Repaired

Every part of the xpress can be individually replaced, from the seals and valves to the filter and glass. Groundd prioritise having their products built to last but in the event that a part breaks over time or is lost it can easily be swapped out.

4. Plunge to pause: Press down on the plunger shaft to filter the coffee, pause your brew and trap your grounds / spent tea leaves at the base.
