Have you ever noticed the warning on disposable plastic straws? KoffieStraw Maker Rita Diorio did after she started drinking coffee with toss-away straws to help protect her teeth from stains. She was shocked to learn that plastic straws can break down when they get hot. She switched to silicone straws, but most she came across were too large and flooded her mouth with coffee (defeating the stain-avoiding purpose) and didn’t fit in to-go cups.

Rita and her son Joe came up with their own solution that means you don’t have to skip coffee or other teeth-staining beverages to help keep teeth looking white—just sip around it. KoffieStraws are made with 100 percent silicone that is BPA-free and can handle hot and cold sips alike. The straw's unique oval shape fits perfectly in travel mugs or to-go cups, and keeps the flow of drinks to the just-right amount. It’s a safer, eco-friendly, and longer-lasting choice than disposable plastic straws. And these bendy straws can be cut to suit your mug, glass, or cup of choice. That sounds like easy sipping to us.
