Alternatives to a Frank Green cup
Last reviewed 1970-01-01
What is a good alternative to a Frank Green cup?
The Fressko Camino 340ml is the insulated reusable cup we recommend as an alternative: bare 304 stainless with no internal plastic liner, a screw lid that holds a seal lid-down in a bag, a lead-free base, and a 12oz capacity that matches a standard café latte. It is our highest-scoring cup at 89/100.
EvidenceScored highest of the cups in our bench testing on the combined seal, heat-retention and cleanability sub-scores; no internal polymer lining, so nothing but stainless and silicone contacts the coffee.

What actually decides it
- Liner
- Check whether the inner wall is bare steel or coated.
- Lid parts
- Fewer moving parts means fewer places coffee oils sit.
- Base seal
- Ask whether the vacuum seal uses a lead pellet.
- Replaceables
- A gasket you can buy separately extends the cup's life.
Fressko Bino 227ml
The same build in 8oz, and the cheapest way into insulated stainless.

Every product carries one 0–100 overall score built from the same six sub-scores: seal integrity, thermal performance, cleanability, materials safety, repairability and cost per year of ownership. Category-specific weightings are published on each product page.
The Reusable Edit is independent and takes no payment for coverage. Outbound retail links are affiliate-tracked; commissions never change a score or a ranking.
Related questions
- What size replaces a 12oz cup?
- 340ml. It is the standard 12oz latte or cappuccino pour, so the swap needs no change to how you order.
- Is the base seal lead-free?
- Fressko's stainless drinkware is made without the lead-bearing solder pellet some vacuum-insulated brands use to seal the base, so there is no encapsulated lead in the product. Where a brand has published no statement, we record it as unconfirmed rather than assuming either way.
