A reusable coffee cup has its advantages over the more common disposable coffee cup. It is not only better for the environment, but it is less flimsy and better insulated. A reusable coffee cup is much more appealing than the paper or Styrofoam alternative. Reusable cups come with and without handles, covers, and various designs. They are also made to last a long time.
Reusable coffee cups come in many forms, styles, and sizes and perform different jobs, but they will all hold a cup of coffee. Some reusable cups are relatively simple, and others can be much more elaborate.
Some reusable coffee cups are made of rubber. They are durable, light, and the rubber grip makes it easy to hold onto without the danger of spilling. A rubber cup will also survive if you do happen to drop it. The barrier of rubber also protects hands from getting scorched by hot beverages.
Many reusable coffee cups also come with a lid to help keep its contents nice and toasty for longer periods of time. These lids are designed to fit, as well, so no more fumbling around piles of plastic and flimsy lids to find the one that will miraculously fit right the first time.
Other coffee cups are made of a more durable plastic. These types of reusable cups are durable and light, so they are easy to throw into your bag if you want to fill it up at school or work. Some will argue that the beverage that it contains may take on the taste of the plastic, but that’s all a matter of opinion.
Many of these types of cups have a lid that fits, and the lid even has a nifty mechanism that will cover up the sip hole to keep the liquid inside hot longer.
There are also coffee cups made entirely of silicone, and these are completely recyclable. These are somewhat flexible and squishy but will keep your hands from burning.
There are also stainless steel or thermos-type kinds of mugs that will keep the liquids inside quite toasty. Depending on the design, the outside can get somewhat toasty as well, and it may be necessary to have a type of cover or cozy around the outside to prevent burning fingers.
Using reusable types of coffee mugs will save the environment and anyone’s budget. They are a great investment, and they communicate that their owner cares about the world which is a good thing since disposable coffee cups contribute to the 25,000 tons of waste every year.
