Eco Friendly or Green Coffee Paper Cups

We saw this cup at a museum store that looked like a standard coffee cup but was made with porcelain.  It is  called “I Am Not a Paper Cup” and is dishwasher and microwave safe, $12 from Amazon. eco cup is another similar reusable coffee cup or beverage cup.

Many coffee shops will not allow you to use your own cup, claiming health code problems. Starbucks sells a $15 reusable Venti cup and applies a 10-cent discount on the price of the drink of your choice each time you bring your cup in and order. Apparently these sold out an are being scalped on eBay.

I wonder how many other coffee places will let you use this.  Most independent coffee shops have no problem with this. Just thinking about how many paper cups are tossed each day is mind boggling.  Few people wash their coffee cups and recycle the cup and plastic top.

If you brew your own coffee, use a reusable coffee filter made with hemp, cotton, or plastic that can be washed after each use.
