Kuksa

Kuksa coffee cups are hard to find outside northern Scandinavia, mostly because the birch-burl root of the trees are not harvested commercially, nor are the hand carved cups mass produced by the skilled carvers. Traditionally given as a gift, a beautiful Kuksa can last a lifetime. The experience of drinking from a cup that used to be a tree is an experience that can't be explained until you actually try it.

Everyone of our Kuksa’s are a piece of art and handmade in Finland. Kuksas can endure extreme temperature changes (great for outdoorsmen) and will not crack with boiling water, even if the air temp is below zero. A Kuksa is perfect for drinking very hot coffee, tea (or whiskey). The Kuksa doesn’t conduct heat and will keep your beverage hot (or cold) longer than ceramics.

Traditionally a Kuksa is passed on through generations, does double duty in summer for collecting berries in the forest, or sipping a whiskey outside on a cold winter night under a fire and the Aurora Borealis.

100% made in Finland of Birch Burl

take a pass!

Zero reviews when i purchased this, so here i am, hoping to help some folks. Its advertised as using it for coffee or maybe tea. Well it just arrived today. It’s large enough to hold some rum to sip neat, or maybe a double espresso, but absolutely nothing else. This thing is TINY, I mean absurdly small. Has almost no utility for me or my wife. Was hoping to use for protein shakes or beer but nope, holds nothing of any quantity. Wish the description was better aligned with its paltry uses; this will be returned unfortunately. Nicely made piece regardless.

Hi Andrew,
Thank you for giving the Kuksa wooden cup a try - I’m sorry to hear you were disappointed by its size.
This is a traditional size for a northern wooden kuksa cup; it is not such an easy feat to make a large one that holds up, carved from a single piece of burled birch. We do mention the size in the product description, and apologize if that information was not clear - we agree that it would be great to have a larger one too! But it is quite difficult to make those.
Thank you for your feedback and we appreciate your support. We hope that you will find something else in the Beringia collection in the future that will be to your liking and becomes your new favorite!
Kind Regards, Beringia Customer Service
