TIMEMORE X Ni Wares Bouba

TIMEMORE X NI WARES

First-of-its-kind coffee cup collaboration between Ni Wares and Timemore, combining sensory science and intentional design to elevate your filter coffee experience.

Designed to enhance flavour clarity, sweetness, and aromatics, the Timemore x Ni Wares Bouba utilises our signature Perceptive Pink interior — a colour scientifically shown to increase perceived sweetness in coffee by up to 40%.

The cup also features our dual-lip design philosophy, using different rim shapes to change the point of impact on the palate. This allows you to highlight different characteristics within the coffee — from vibrant acidity and florals to sweetness, texture, and body — creating a more personalised tasting experience and, in some cases, completely transforming the profile of the coffee.

Developed through years of competition, research, and feedback, Ni Wares cups have been used by multiple national champions and finalists on the World Brewers Cup stage.

The Bouba’s rounded body has been intentionally designed to concentrate aromatics, encourage natural swirling, and sit comfortably in the hand, while Timemore’s brewing philosophy and minimalist aesthetic bring a refined balance of function and design to the collaboration.

Created for people who believe the experience of drinking coffee should be just as intentional as brewing it.

1

Thin Lip

On one side we have a sharper lip, this promotes a thinner layer of liquid on the palate. In our experience, supporting delicate notes, and a more fruit forward and vibrant taste.

2

Thick Lip

On one side we have a thick lip which is also raised to promote a thick layer of liquid particularly coating the roof of your palate. In our experience, supporting a more intensity, texture and sweetness

3

Dimple

The dimple is designed to not allow the sedement on the liquid to rest at the bottom of the cup, also helping promote swirling and movement of liquid.
