"The breakthrough came with rethinking the traditional handle entirely. Instead of forcing your fingers through a closed loop that can strain joints and limit hand positions, the ErgoCup features an open-ended handle that lets the cup rest naturally in your palm. Your fingers can wrap around comfortably while the handle hangs from your grip without requiring awkward twisting or pinching motions."
"The result feels effortless, like the cup wants to be held rather than fighting against your natural grip. What makes the ErgoCup genuinely special is how it serves everyone better, not just people with specific mobility challenges. The neutral wrist position it promotes reduces strain for anyone who spends long hours holding cups during meetings, writing sessions, or leisurely weekend mornings. The double-wall ceramic construction keeps your coffee hot while protecting your hands from heat."
A potter and designer developed the ErgoCup after experiencing hand pain and seeking more ergonomic everyday objects. The design replaces the traditional closed-loop handle with an open-ended handle that allows the cup to rest naturally in the palm. A subtle flange provides thumb and hand support, distributing weight and reducing pressure on individual joints. The shape encourages a neutral wrist position that lowers strain during prolonged cup-holding. Double-wall ceramic construction preserves beverage temperature while protecting hands from heat. Occupational therapists were consulted during development to validate and refine the ergonomic benefits for broad user needs.
