Why You Should Choose a Reusable Coffee Cup!

Are you tired of using disposable coffee cups that end up in landfills and contribute to environmental pollution? It's time to switch to a reusable coffee cup!

Not only are reusable coffee cups better for the environment, but they are also nicer to drink out of and can even get you a discount on your coffee at some cafes. Many coffee shops offer discounts for customers who bring their own cups, so you can save a few dollars each time you grab a cup of joe.

But with so many different reusable coffee cups to pick from, it can be difficult to choose the right one for you. 

So, we have created a list with a few things to think about when choosing a reusable coffee cup:

• Material: Reusable coffee cups can be made from a variety of materials. These materials include plastic, glass, ceramic, and stainless steel. Each material has pros and cons, so choosing the one that best fits your needs and preferences is important. For example, glass and ceramic cups are more fragile and can break easily. Glass cups also cannot be made in Australia, while plastic cups are lighter and can be made locally in Australia. Uppercup, for example, is made from durable and safe BPA Free Tritan. Meaning it is safe to use, doesn't hold odours or smells, and is made locally in Melbourne.
• Size: Consider how much coffee you typically drink and choose a cup with the right size. A larger cup is great if you need a lot of caffeine to get going in the morning, but a smaller cup might be more practical for on-the-go sipping.
• Design: Reusable coffee cups come in many different designs and colours. This is great as you can pick a cup that reflects your aesthetic and may be more likely to use it daily. For example, Uppercup is double-walled, which looks great but keeps your drink and fingers cool. 
• Ease of cleaning: Nobody wants to spend much time cleaning their coffee cup. Look for a cup that is dishwasher-safe and durable.

Day-to-day waste is an issue that so many people face. Knowing where to start reducing your waste can feel overwhelming, but taking small actions can make a big difference. For more information and to read further about this we would suggest websites such as Upstream.

By switching to a reusable coffee cup, you can help the planet by reducing waste and also maybe save a few dollars at the same time. Plus, you'll have a stylish and practical accessory that you can use every day. So why not make the switch today and join the movement towards a more sustainable future?
