The ‘KeepCup‘ is a reusable coffee cup that comes in the three standard cafe sizes. The cup allows users to order a coffee to go at their favorite café, while avoiding using a disposable cup. The cup was designed by former café owners fed up with the waste from coffee to go. The two designed the ‘KeepCup’ for use in their café, but its standard sizes make it ideal for any café.
The design is made from polypropylene, santoprene and silicone making it lightweight, dishwasher safe and microwaveable. Because it mimics the design of paper cups, the keep cup fits better than mugs in espresso machines and a sealable lid keep everything inside. The design even has a sleeve that protect your finger from hot temperatures and allows you to select your drink of choice.
‘KeepCup’ is being introduced in three standard sizes – the small 8oz cup, the medium 12oz cup and the large 16oz cup. The size range means ‘KeepCup’ suits large chains and individual cafes.
Babycino 4oz cups will follow in the next couple of months. The lid, plug and band are common to all cups except the Babycino.
The cups, lids, bands and plugs can be mixed and matched to create original and exciting colorways.
This is great, but my question is, will the cafes use it? Will Starbucks or Donkin’ Donuts or anyone let you use your own cup? It seems to me that you have to get a big chain or two on board with this and willing to promote it in order for it to be a success.
As Orrymain already mentioned it could be that Starbucks or any other company would not let you use them.
Can I put one of these usual Starbuck potts inside of this Keep Coffee?
Or do I have to fill the coffee from the Starbuck pott into the Keep Coffee myself?
I take my KeepCup to my local Starbucks in East London and I get .20p off everytime! Save the planet, save the coins!!!
