Notebook sigel Re-Up RU101, A5 lined, light grey, Softcover made from coffee bean shells

sigel Re-Up RU101 is an A5 lined notebook with a light grey softcover made from recycled coffee bean shells. It provides ruled pages for structured writing and a compact A5 format (approximately 140 x 200 mm) that fits into bags and briefcases. The softcover combines a natural textured feel with a sustainable material choice aimed at reducing waste while retaining everyday durability for note-taking, planning and journaling.

Advantages

The Re-Up softcover uses coffee bean shell material which offers an eco-conscious alternative to conventional covers while keeping a subtle, light grey appearance suitable for professional and personal use. Lined pages enable even handwriting and clear organization of notes. The A5 size balances portability and writing space, and the softcover construction keeps weight low for daily carry.

Suitable for

• Everyday note-taking and class or meeting notes
• Personal journaling and planning
• Office use where a compact ruled notebook is required
• Sustainable stationery collections and eco-conscious buyers

When it may not be suitable

This notebook may not be ideal when rigid cover protection is required, for example when heavy objects will be placed on top of it or when you need a hardback to support precise sketching. It is also not designed specifically for fountain pen enthusiasts who require high-weight, fountain-pen-optimized paper unless testing confirms compatibility with particular inks and nibs.

Key specifications

• Cover: Softcover made from coffee bean shells (recycled material)
• Page layout: Lined / ruled pages

How to use

Use the sigel Re-Up RU101 as a daily notebook for structured notes, agendas, and personal entries. Open the softcover fully on a flat surface to write comfortably across the ruled pages. Keep it in a bag, briefcase or desk drawer for quick access. For long-term archiving, store filled books upright on a shelf or inside a protective folder to limit wear to the softcover material.

What to consider before purchase

• Cover type: softcover made from recycled coffee bean shells — consider if flexible covers meet your needs
• Page ruling: lined layout suitable for handwriting and lists
• Size: A5 for portability versus larger formats for more writing space

If you plan to use wet inks, try them on a corner page first to check paper response.
