Explore the Cheeki Water Bottle & Coffee Mug Range

An Australian Brand Since 2009

Cheeki was founded at Freshwater on Sydney’s Northern Beaches in 2009, becoming an early Australian brand in reusable stainless steel drinkware. Shop Naturally opened in the same year and was one of Cheeki’s original Australian stockists, so it’s a brand we’ve known for a long time. Cheeki remains Australian owned and designed, with products manufactured in China. The brand also promotes minimal, plastic-free, recyclable packaging, although some lids and accessories contain BPA-free plastic components.

Cheeki Stainless Steel Water Bottles

Cheeki water bottle bodies are made from premium 304 (18/8) food-grade stainless steel and don’t require an internal plastic lining. The wider bottle collection covers different capacities and drinking styles for work, school, travel and outdoor use. A compact bottle can be easier to carry throughout the day, while a larger capacity may suit long shifts, road trips or activities where refilling isn’t convenient.

Capacity is only part of the decision. Dimensions, filled weight and lid design all affect how a bottle feels in daily use, particularly if it needs to fit a school bag, work bag, backpack or cup holder.

Cheeki Classic Water Bottles

The Classic collection is one of Cheeki’s signature water bottle ranges, with both single-wall and vacuum-insulated designs. A distinctive feature on compatible models is the Silicone Shield lid. This lid still includes plastic components, but its silicone shield is designed to prevent drinking water from contacting the plastic underside.

Lid design matters because it affects how you drink, carry and clean the bottle. Cheeki also offers sports lid systems within its wider range, including selected designs with different flow settings. Compatibility varies between models, so a replacement or alternative lid needs to match the particular bottle range.

Single-Wall vs Insulated Water Bottles

A single-wall stainless steel bottle has one layer of steel. It’s generally lighter than an equivalent insulated bottle and is a straightforward option for carrying everyday drinking water. It won’t retain temperature in the same way as a vacuum-insulated design and may develop condensation when filled with very cold water.

Vacuum-insulated bottles use two steel walls with an insulated space between them to reduce heat transfer. They’re heavier, but better suited to keeping drinks at their starting temperature for longer and reducing external condensation. Selected Cheeki models also use Copper Lock Technology, which adds a copper layer within the insulation system; the copper doesn’t contact the drink. See our broader collection of insulated water bottles if temperature retention is high on your list.

Cheeki Insulated Coffee Mugs

The Cheeki mugs currently stocked by Shop Naturally are 350ml insulated stainless steel models in Evergreen, Chocolate and Aqua. The colours differ, but the construction and performance features are the same. Each mug combines triple-wall vacuum insulation with Copper Lock Technology, a chip-resistant painted exterior, rubberised base and tapered shape that fits many car cup holders.

The manufacturer states that the mug can keep drinks hot for up to eight hours, although actual performance depends on the starting temperature, surrounding conditions and how often the lid is opened. Its pop-up lid is designed to be leakproof when correctly assembled and fully closed, making it particularly useful for commuting. You can also view other styles of reusable coffee cups if you prefer a different capacity or lid format.

What Makes Cheeki’s Coffee Mug Lid Different?

Pressing the central button opens the drinking mechanism, allowing you to sip from any direction around the rim. There’s no need to turn the mug around looking for a fixed drinking hole, and the mechanism can be operated with one hand. Press it closed before transport to engage the leakproof design. This combination is handy in the car, on public transport or when moving between meetings.

Cheeki Kids’ Bottles and Larger Sizes

Cheeki’s wider collection includes kids’ bottles, Adventure styles, Chiller bottles, Thirsty Max bottles and other larger-capacity designs. The Classic range also includes insulated 600ml and 1L examples. Smaller bottles are easier for children or light packers to carry, while larger capacities reduce the need for frequent refills. These examples represent the wider Cheeki range and shouldn’t be taken as a list of current Shop Naturally bottle availability.

Replacement Lids and Caring for Your Cheeki

Compatible replacement lids and seals are available within the wider Cheeki range, which may allow a bottle to stay in use when a removable part becomes worn or lost. Fit varies, so match parts to the bottle’s collection and model. Wash bottles and lids regularly, paying attention to seals, threads and moving components. The 350ml coffee mug lid can be disassembled for a more thorough clean according to Cheeki’s instructions, then allowed to dry fully before reassembly.
