The pineapple cup in two lines
The Lumian pineapple cup is a pineapple-shaped cup holding 500ml. It is copper-plated 18/10 stainless steel, with the surface worked in scales like the skin of the fruit. It comes apart in two: the lower part is the cup the drink is made and served in, the upper part with the crown of leaves is the lid. A copper straw with a bent tip completes the set.
Who it is for
For tiki bars and venues with tropical drinks on the list: Piña Colada, Painkiller, Zombie, rum punches served over crushed ice. With these drinks the vessel is half the serve, and the next table watches it arrive. The classic alternative is a real hollowed-out pineapple, which takes prep time on every order, costs fruit that ends up in the bin and cannot keep up with an evening of the same order. The pineapple cup is washed and goes back into service.
It also suits beach bars, poolside service and outdoor events, where a glass dropped on tiles means stopping service to sweep up. Steel does not break when it falls.
At home it is the cup for summer parties and tiki evenings, and a gift for someone who already has a shaker and jigger and wants a piece for the table.
How to use the pineapple cup behind the bar
Build the drink straight in the lower part, or shake and pour over crushed ice. 500ml leaves room for ice and top-up, which is what tiki specs need: they run longer than a sour. The leaf lid goes on before the cup leaves for the table, and the straw comes out at the side.
Lumian points out a practical detail: thanks to the leaves, the lid can be turned upside down and used as a stand. When the guest lifts it off, it does not stay in the hand or end up on a wet table: turned over, it becomes a small rest for the cup or the straw.

How many pineapple cups you need
Work it out from the drinks on the list that use it and the washing time. A plated cup is washed by hand, so in the rush it does not come back in two minutes like a glass tumbler from the glass washer. A bar with a signature drink in the pineapple cup keeps at least twice as many in service as leave the bar in a peak hour, because half are always at the sink or at the table.
The more you buy, the less you pay: 4 pieces -5%, 6 -7%, 8 -10%, on the same item.
The pineapple cup next to the other tiki vessels
For the Moscow Mule and other bucks served in metal, there is the 350ml stainless steel mule mug. For ceramic and the shapes of the original tiki bars, there is the Moai tiki mug. Everything in this family is in the tiki mugs category.
Care
Lumian is clear: plated items do not go in the dishwasher. Wash by hand in warm water with a mild detergent and a soft sponge. A soft brush reaches between the scales and the leaves of the lid, and a straw brush cleans the straw. Dry straight away with a cloth to keep the copper bright.
