Not Sure About Buying A Reusable Travel Coffee Cup? Here Are The Facts
Espresso, cappuccino, americano with an extra shot, or a large soy latte. Whatever you like to drink on the go, sip it from a reusable travel coffee mug.
There’s nothing wrong with enjoying your favourite hot or cold beverages while out and about. But, the environmental price of this disposable coffee cup culture is way too high.
Many disposable coffee cups are made from Styrofoam, a type of plastic which never breaks down entirely. Instead, it stays for thousands of years polluting the earth with toxic chemicals and affecting sea life. Single-use paper cups cause pollution too because they have a plastic liner. That’s what stops a paper cup from falling apart and leaking coffee onto your shoes. Biodegradable coffee cups an improvement on Styrofoam and plastic-lined disposable coffee cups, but they still require specific conditions (i.e. an industrial facility) to biodegrade fully.
Waste management and recycling systems simply can’t keep up with the daily flow of disposable coffee cups, so the majority end up in oceans, rivers, and other waterways.
Coffee drinkers aren’t the only people responsible for disposable coffee cup pollution. The same problem applies to any hot or cold drink that comes in a disposable cup. That includes hot teas, iced teas, milkshakes, freshly blended fruit juices, and winter hot chocolate.

So, should we abandon the ‘to-go’ coffee culture? Or, is there a sustainable alternative to a disposable coffee cup?
Yes, there is.
It’s easy to reduce your coffee waste with an eco-friendly insulated coffee cup made from top quality and food-safe stainless steel. One that’s tough enough to use for years, safe to drink from, and stylish enough for every occasion. Like the 380 ml FLASKE Coffee Cup.
Let’s ditch disposable coffee cups for good. Here are more reasons why you should buy a reusable coffee cup right now.
Safe to drink from
Environmental issues aside, there are several health concerns related to plastic food and drinks containers. The first is that many plastics contain Bisphenol A (BPA), a substance that has been linked to hormone imbalance, behavioural issues in children, cancer, and heart problems. With an insulated coffee mug made from food-grade stainless steel, you can enjoy your coffee without risking your health.
Travel coffee cups keep drinks hot or cold
Double-wall stainless steel coffee cups are even better at insulating than glass drinks containers. A FLASKE Coffee Cup will keep your drinks hot for up to 12 hours and cold for up to 24 hours. Ideal for long commutes, travelling, or after school activities.
You can put it in your bag
Do you prefer to drink your coffee at the office, rather than on the commute? With a leek free lid and double-wall construction that insulates your drink inside but maintains room temperature on the outside, you can confidently store your travel coffee mug in your bag. No wet patches and no condensation!
