Today we’d like to introduce you to Cameron Abney.
So, before we jump into specific questions about the business, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
I have the privilege of being one of the first generation, university graduates in my family, and had the honor of attending my Home by the Sea, Hampton University. After graduating with my B.S. in Electrical Engineering, I moved to Atlanta, GA to begin my career as a consultant. While college days swiftly pass, I would have to say the first years “adulting” in the big city were quite impressionable in my pursuit for entrepreneurship. Atlanta exudes opportunity for the hungry entrepreneur. After a year of working, networking, and reflection I knew I could do more.
The idea behind [Cu]pper, actually, was one of many stops along this long journey we call life. But, in short, I actually purchased my first copper bottle after realizing that most name brand water companies are adding inorganic additives to their product. The food and beverage industry controls the narrative on the ‘best’ product, but nothing compares to the natural alkaline water stored in a copper vessel. I began research in 2018 and began building my brand early 2019 with a goal to launch by my 25th birthday. With no excuses to deter my progress, I successfully launched in October 2019. Today, we are preparing for our product announcements in the next few months.
Our [Cu]pper is made of 100% pure high-grade food-safe copper. Our products are traditionally handcrafted by skilled artisans and will last a lifetime guaranteed if cared for properly. Drinking water from copperware (which is known as “Tamra Jal” in Ayurvedic medicine) has endless health benefits and is recommended by health professionals worldwide. Copper acts, naturally, as an effective anti-bacterial, anti-oxidant, improves immunity, prevents again, supports good health, and stimulates the brain!
Our 32 oz / 900 ml copper water bottles are approximately 10 inches in height and 2.8 inches in diameter.
Has it been a smooth road?
In my opinion, the heavy lifting of entrepreneurship is the most challenging when you’re standing up your business. The key is preparation, though, no one could have prepared for today’s climate. Between a pandemic, business closing, price hikes, and surge shipping prices I think most entrepreneurs are experiencing difficulty managing business. Personally, I think the biggest impediment to success to be ourselves.
So, as you know, we’re impressed with Cupper Bottle – tell our readers more, for example what you’re most proud of and what sets you apart from others.

All of our bottles are of great quality. In fact, the industry is saturated with sellers offering a similar product, but what separates our product apart is that our bottles are not coated with lacquer. Lacquer is an anti-corrosion coating painted on woods and metals which is certainly not meant for bodily consumption. Also, some sellers sell stainless steel, copper coated bottles that look the part but serve no healthful purpose. Our product is simply made and contains no toxic materials of any kind. Our [Cu]pper is a great way to make natural alkaline water.
Top Ten Reasons Why a Copper Water Bottle Can Change Your Life
Improves the Digestive System
Drinking from a copper vessel is very beneficial to the digestive system. It flushes out the stomach and digestive tract and helps detox the liver and kidneys. It increases the absorption of nutrients from food and helps encourage peristalsis, which is the rhythmic contraction and relaxation of the stomach that helps digest food and move it through the digestive system. Lastly, it helps kill harmful bacteria.
Builds a Strong Immune System
Copper serves as an antibacterial, anti-viral, and anti-inflammatory. Common bacteria in our environment are E. coli and S. aureus. Copper actively fights against these bacteria. Conceptually, the longer you store your water in copper vessels the lesser risk of bacterial contamination to casual bacteria.
Supports Weight Loss
Copper aids the digestive system and builds your immune system. Because we know this, we also know the copper water bottle helps in reducing fat content in the body. Simply, drink water from your vessel throughout your daily routines.
Prevents Aging
Drinking water stored in copper prevents fine lines and aging. As a natural antioxidant, copper helps with the production of new skin cells and fights against age-causing radicals.
Prevents Cancer
Copper has natural antioxidants and actively fights against cancerous cells.
Maintains Cardiovascular Health
Drinking from copper helps in maintaining normal blood pressure. With it helping burn fat, copper helps the blood flow to the heart in a better way, thus less risk of heart diseases.
Supports the Thyroid Gland
The body cannot produce the copper within the body so we need to outsource. In general, people with thyroid gland issues lack sufficient levels of copper in their body. This happens in both ways for people who suffer from hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism. So, copper is an essential mineral for the thyroid gland and for proper body functions.
Stimulates the Brain
Copper is a great brain stimulant and helps you think quickly! The brain works by transmitting impulses from one neuron to the next with the help of synapses. These neurons are secured by the myelin sheath that works like a kind of conductive operator. Copper aids the synthesis of materials that are fundamental to the development of myelin sheaths.
Fights Arthritis and Inflamed Joints
Copper contains mitigating properties that help assuage a throbbing painfulness caused by joint inflammation, rheumatoid joint pain, and excited joints. Also, copper fortifies the bones, which make for a superb solution for joint inflammation and rheumatoid joint inflammation.
Keeps Skin Healthy and Acne Free
Copper is the key segment in the generation of new cells that assist with the renewing layers of your skin. This generation of new cells advances smooth, imperfection without a worry in the world of skin. Specialists recommend drinking from copper all the time, particularly at an early hour in the morning, can have an exceptionally critical effect to the soundness of your skin.
Let’s touch on your thoughts about our city – what do you like the most and least?
Atlanta has the best of the best when it comes to entertainment. From sporting events, nightclubs to parks and recreation, I try to enjoy everything the city has to offer.
