Why choose copper over other metals?
Comparison: left = standard metal, right = pure copper
Copper's thermal conductivity is 8x better than stainless steel, ensuring a quick heat-up and even distribution, unlike cast iron or aluminum.
Its reactive surface requires a tin lining for cookware, but for drinkware, copper's raw finish enhances flavors naturally.
This Tequilero's pure copper body amplifies spirits' flavors, offering a richer drinking experience.
Copper elevates the drinking experience through superior thermal properties.
Steps in crafting copper drinkware
Four-step coppersmith process: raw sheet to polished finish.
Unlike mass-produced items, each Tequilero is hand-forged in a process that includes annealing, planishing, hammering texture, and polishing.
This individual attention to detail means each cup is unique, with its own character and story.
Experience unmatched craftsmanship with each sip.
