An office favourite here at Ozone, the Union strikes the perfect balance between style and substance. With its generous capacity ideal for filter coffee, beautiful glaze finish, and choice of colours, it's the mug that makes every coffee break feel special.
The Acme Union is a mug with a backstory. Modelled on the chunky cafeteria mugs that served mid-century New Zealand, from railway dining cars to canteen counters, it's been reinterpreted for the modern coffee drinker. Same satisfying heft, same no-nonsense diner-style shape, but made from high-grade porcelain and built to last a lifetime on your kitchen shelf.
The original shape descends from the famously unbreakable Crown Lynn railway cup, a piece of Kiwiana so durable that passengers used to throw them out of moving train windows to test them against tunnel walls. The Union carries that same logic forward: thick walls for heat retention, a wide flared base for stability, and a generous handle built for a proper full-finger grip.
At 230ml it sits in a sweet spot for milk-based coffees: flat whites, cortados, the occasional latte, or a well-measured filter. It's the kind of mug that feels right the moment you pick it up.
Designed by coffee professionals and used worldwide by World Champion Baristas, home brewers, and tea drinkers alike. Read more about Acme's story.
- 230ml / 7.8oz capacity, well suited to flat whites, cortados, and filter coffee

Super sweet and silky smooth, this is a cup full or sugared almonds! An edge of milk chocolate on the finish and raisin on the aftertaste completes it.
The Fazenda Inglaterra coffee farm is situated on the borders of the Minas Gerais and São Paulo regions of Brazil, located in the more populous south-east corner of the country. Coffee was introduced to Brazil in the early 18th century, rapidly growing into a thriving industry that is now the leading producer of both commodity and specialty coffee worldwide. Minas Gerais is one of the most famous coffee-producing regions, alongside Espirito Santo, São Paulo, and Bahia. Fazenda Inglaterra is located near to the spa town of Poços de Caldas, the main socio-economic nucleus of its region, roughly 250km north of São Paulo city. The area is known for its volcanic soil and high elevation, reaching between 950 and 1,300 metres above sea level.
The local area ranges over a high plateau formed by mountains, commonly mistaken as the crater of an extinct supervolcano. In reality, Poços de Caldas sits inside a caldera formed by the collapse of an 80 million year old intrusion amid the surrounding elevated areas, not a volcano itself. Its climate is characterized by dry winters and mild summers. This unique terroir contributes to the coffee’s distinct flavour profile: clean, sweet, and full of character. This particular lot is a mix of different varietals grown at Fazenda Inglaterra. The farm grows Bourbon, Icatu, Acaia, Catuai, and Canario.
Stephen has made a strong commitment to producing environmentally friendly coffee within the Fazenda Inglaterra estate: half of the farm remains untouched Mata Atlântica rainforest, which supports biodiversity and protects the local ecosystem. In Stephen’s words, “As long as I own it, it will stay that way”.
Stephen is a pioneer in the specialty coffee industry. In 1996, he founded Mercanta, a specialty green coffee importer that now operates in over 50 countries. Mercanta is known for its commitment to traceability, quality, and ethical sourcing. Throughout his years sourcing green coffee and travelling to visit producers, Stephen had always had the idea of one day owning his own farm in the back of his mind. When some friends in Brazil mentioned that a small coffee farm was for sale, he had a look and knew this was the one.
The farm’s name was originally Fazenda Toca Da Onca, meaning “hiding place of a small wildcat”, but the neighbours renamed it with the Portuguese for “England” after Stephen took over. A nod to his British heritage and his personal connection to the estate. The previous owners had left the farm abandoned for some time so Stephen, with the help of his friends Gabriel and Cristiano, had to start again almost from scratch. They brought the small farm (tiny by Brazilian standards!) back to life - reviving old trees, planting new ones, and building a farm rooted in both regeneration and quality. Stephen’s hands-on approach and long-term vision have shaped Inglaterra into a model of sustainable coffee farming.
