8 cups is a combination of hardware and software that allows users to set a drinking time frame, with an LED light on the bottle flashing as a reminder. The bottle also automatically updates water consumption data onto a mobile application. It features a non-slippery feel with smooth-rubber materials on the lid and bottom, a magnetic locking-function, wireless battery charging, and is water resistant. The bottle is made from Tritan, a non-hazardous material, and has a capacity of 13 oz. The company has won awards and received funding of $60,000 from the Samsung Wennovation contest.
