Questions and answers about this authentic and traditional kuksa
-
During transport, the kuksa has undergone various temperature variations. Before pouring a hot liquid into it, be sure to let the wood return to room temperature. As a precaution, you can run your kuksa under lukewarm (not hot) water before using it.
-
Yes! If you'd like a kuksa that hasn't been soaked in coffee during the manufacturing process, just ask us — we have some coffee-free models, like the Kuukkeli, for example.
-
We recommend that you wash your kuksa before using it. To wash it, use lukewarm, not hot, water and a natural, chemical-free soap. Once the cup has been washed, dry it immediately with a cloth. You mustn't leave it to dry on its own, as the wood will soak up all the water.
-
To keep this kuksa in good condition, with its beautiful color and shine, you should care for it with oil (we recommend grapeseed oil) or with a protective wax. You can buy grapeseed oil in our shop, and also a protective wax that we make ourselves.
-
This kuksa can be used to enjoy hot or cold drinks. The wood will naturally keep your drink cool or warm.
-
No! None of our wooden products are microwave-safe. Microwave heat will damage the wood and cause it to crack.
-
This kuksa is handmade in the far north, in Finnish Lapland.
-
Kuksa were invented by the Sami, an indigenous people living in northern Scandinavia. They were used as personal containers for drinking, eating and even berry-picking. Kuksa are part of Duodji, a Sami craft centered on the creation of functional and useful everyday objects.
-
It takes about 8 days for a kuksa to be finished. After the kuksa has been carved, the wood needs to soak for about 5 hours without boiling salted water. If you want a darker-coloured kuksa, soak it in coffee for a few minutes. After that, the wood needs to dry for a week. And finally be oiled.
