Umeshiso The Big Dipper

Umeshiso cupping spoons are more than just beautiful and colourful. Founded by Umeko Motoyoshi, Umeshiso promotes coffee education, inclusion and community for under represented members of the coffee community, celebrating women, femmes, nonbinary and trans folks, BIPoC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color), and allies.

Umeshiso has two styles of cupping spoon: the Big Dipper and the Little Dipper. The Big Dipper is longer and lighter weight with a wider, flatter bowl. It has dual functionality and works great for both skimming and slurping.

Goth Black

Slurp black coffee with an even blacker spoon. Be infinite, like the night, like the cosmos.

This pitch-black cupping spoon is perfect for vampires, witches, Posh Spice, Johnny Cash, emo-identified individuals, and of course goths.

Rose Gold

Stay rosy with your very own rose gold-plated, stainless steel cupping spoon! This beautiful finish looks like sunsets and stonefruit.

If you're outfitting your whole team in rose gold, check out the six-pack option also available on this shop!

Please note: Little Dipper's shade is just *slightly* more on the gold side of rose gold. Big Dipper is just *slightly* more on the rose side of rose gold. Just one of life's little surprises!

Golden Hour

Cause you're my golden hour, the colour of my sky. This classic gold finish goes with everything and pops beautifully on the cupping table. And you know everything's gonna be all right.

The Rainbow Spoon Project

I’ve always had a fraught relationship with cupping. (Being corrected on tasting notes, embarrassed, not knowing what bergamot tastes like.

So I wanted rainbow cupping spoons, to disarm something that scared me. It reminds me that I can be myself - femme, queer, biracial, sensitive - and also do my job and taste coffee. All those things are possible at once!
