Those struggling to commute with both a water bottle and a travel coffee mug are now in luck thanks to the new Hitch Courier. Designed to be both, this cutting-edge tool features an interior removable, barista-approved coffee cup that's insulated, stainless steel, leak-proof, and plastic-free — making it the ideal solution for conscious consumers looking to reduce their environmental impact.
The Hitch Courier was created by David Silverland and Sky Gilbar, both looking to improve the experience for eco-friendly shoppers looking to avoid single-use takeout cups/water bottles. The hybrid tool boasts a minimalistic aesthetic that embraces a timeless luxury.
The Hitch Courier is currently available to pre-order online and for fans that share the news with a friend, the company will plant a tree and remove 50 ocean-bound plastic bottles.
