Drink clean · keep it cleaner

About 240,000 plastic particles are floating in every liter of bottled water. Finally, a filter straw you can throw in the dishwasher. From the water to your lips, only glass and metal.

And the straw on your filter bottle? Probably still plastic. We're building the opposite — a glass-and-metal filter straw and cup you can actually keep clean. No weekly salt-water soaks. No hidden valves growing mold. It comes fully apart, washes clean, and the filter just swaps out. Most filter bottles still pour your drink over a plastic lid, valve, and mouthpiece. Ours never lets your water touch petroleum plastic.

The problem

The problem isn't just the water — it's everything it touches.

Microplastics reach your water from packaging, pipes, and the bottle itself. Most "solutions" add plastic right back: plastic lids, plastic valves, plastic mouthpieces. Filtering at the very last inch — through a water path that never touches petroleum plastic — is simply a cleaner idea.

What we get right

Three things every other filter straw gets wrong.

It comes apart into five parts — glass, steel and silicone — so every surface actually gets clean.

Sift exploded into five parts: silicone mouthpiece, stainless-steel lid, rigid straw, replaceable carbon filter, and borosilicate glass body
5 parts · fully disassemblable
01

Washable, never moldy

Comes fully apart. Dishwasher-safe and boil-safe — no salt-water soaks, no hidden valves quietly growing mold.

02

Only glass & metal touch your water

Borosilicate glass, food-grade steel, and a platinum-cured silicone tip. Your drink never runs over petroleum plastic.

Silicone is a silicone elastomer — not a petroleum plastic like PET/PP/PE. We'll show exactly what every part is made of.

03

Replaceable filter

Swap the cartridge, keep the cup. Cheaper over time — and far less waste than tossing the whole straw.

Straight talk

What we won't claim.

We'll never tell you your water is "plastic-free." Micron filters can't remove nanoplastics — nothing portable can, short of reverse osmosis.

What exactly do you filter?
We filter microplastics above 0.2 µm, and we'll publish third-party test results before we make a single performance claim.
Isn't silicone a plastic?
Silicone isn't a petroleum plastic. It's a silicone elastomer — and we'll show you what every part is made of.
