Shelbyville, Ind. (Feb. 28, 2019) – Kompass Drinkware Products owns the exclusive rights to the MiLiOZ inside measurement system that allows the consumer to enjoy the benefits of having an attractive outside design and functional inside measuring cup. The system delivers consistency in drinks and allows everyone to customize both the drink and tumbler to his or her specific taste.

The founders of MiLiOZ originally met their senior year in high school. The initial concept for the system was developed in 2015, just days before their 10-year high school reunion. The idea struck after months of trying to figure out how to get a consistent cup of morning coffee.  They knew there had to be an easier way to measure the coffee-to-cream ratios. The goal was an inside measurement scale to be in every coffee cup so everyone could benefit. Initially they had no idea that their solution to the consistent coffee problem would solve dozens of others in the beverage space.

Three years of development and gathering feedback from businesses and consumers resulted in MiLiOZ. Although the concept was created for the consumer, businesses benefit from MiLiOZ as well. The name MiLiOZ was selected for the uniqueness and it’s the combination of milliliters and ounces, the most typical measurements used by consumers. The inventors credit the thousands of people they spoke with that kept them going.  All said nearly the same when asked for feedback, “It’s so simple, yet genius. I can’t believe it hasn’t been done before.”

Kompass has embraced the system for tumblers, bowls, coffee cups, party cups, etc.

“Our exclusive partnership with MiLiOZ allows us to produce a stylish, high quality tumbler that is also a valuable kitchen tool,” noted Stephen Short, Sales Kompass Drinkware.
