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!
