I feel deeply uncomfortable when I see disposable cups. I first stopped using them by - dead simple! - drinking my coffee in the coffee shop. So much more restful.
Once I found the perfect BYO cup for me (it needed a perfect seal, so I can take it home in my bag to wash it without spreading coffee drips all over everything), I bought two, in different sizes.
During the first lockdown I tried to get coffee from my favourite local - but they wouldn't fill my BYO cup.
During the second Melbourne lockdown, they were accepting BYO cups; but the staff still weren't wearing masks, neither were the customers milling around in a tight pack at the front door waiting for their orders. Yeah nah.
I've now got a coffee machine that makes coffee as good as a bought one, Not sure how long it will take to balance the environmental impact, but I bought quality, so it should last years, and no one will cough germs on my hot beverage of choice!

the cognitive dissonance is incredible, isn't it. Confirmation bias, too. We move too fast and too defensively to see it.
