If you’re like most Australians, your day probably starts with a cup of coffee. But have you ever considered the impact your daily takeaway cup has on the environment?
As of 2022, collectively, Australia is throwing away an estimated 2.7 million single-use or disposable coffee cups every single day. That’s over 1 billion takeaway cups every year going straight to landfill.
In a world drowning in disposable waste, making the switch to a reusable coffee cup is a small but impactful thing we can do to help our planet.
As a fellow coffee lover, I know that the type of cup you sip your daily brew from is a very personal choice. Instead of creating another roundup of the best reusable coffee cups, I turned the mic to my Instagram community and asked which brands you love the most.
Here are your recommendations.
Fressko
This one is my pick, too. When it comes to durability and versatility, Fressko tops the list. The screw-top lid makes it spill-proof, and the stainless-steel interior and double-walled glass flask will keep your coffee hot for hours. It also comes with a 2-in-1 infuser, making it ideal for tea lovers as well.
Sttoke
Winner of the Red Dot Design Award, Sttoke has created the world’s first shatterproof ceramic coffee cup. Designed to stimulate your senses, from the feel of the ergonomic curve to the bevelled rim and ceramic interior to help you savour your brew. With its sleek aesthetics, temperature retention capabilities, and spill-proof feature, Sttoke is redefining the daily coffee ritual.
Yeti
Devoted to performance and crafted to withstand adventures, Yeti’s Rambler tumbler sets the gold standard for durability. With its vacuum-insulated stainless-steel body, your favourite beverage stays hot (or cold) for hours on end, making it the ideal companion for getting out in nature.
Kinto
With its Japanese roots, the brand focuses on simplistic beauty and practical use. Perfect for the minimalists, Kinto ensures that every element, from grip to sip, is meticulously crafted. The Travel Tumbler boasts a leak-proof seal and superior insulation, proving that less truly is more.
Keep Cup
The reusable coffee cup pioneers back in 2009, KeepCup remains one the most popular choices today. Available in a range of sizes and a plethora of colour options, they’re durable yet lightweight, and the press-on lid and sipper capture the convenience of a takeaway but with none of the guilt.
Huskee
With Huskee, sustainability meets innovation, using coffee husk—a waste product from coffee production—to create these unique and eco-friendly cups. Their signature grooved design isn’t just an aesthetic choice; it’s a clever design feature for a comfortable grip and to shield your hands from heat.
Montii
Perfect for those who like their coffee in large doses, Montii offers a high-capacity cup, and the bright and playful designs bring a pop of colour to your day. Engineered for the on-the-go lifestyle, the silicone lid ensures a snug fit, and the spill-proof design won’t let you down during those bustling commutes.
