Maybe they ran out of cups or wouldn&#8217;t let you bring one.<\/p>\n<p>Either way, it&#8217;s a bummer. But why should we even care about bringing our mugs?<\/p>\n<p>The truth is that bringing your cup can help save money while reducing waste and making you feel good! Whether you want to save money or reduce waste, there are many reasons why using a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hmbottles.com\/insulated-coffee-mug-everything-you-need-to-know\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reusable coffee cup<\/a> is better than using a disposable one.<\/p>\n<h2>Why should\u00a0you\u00a0bring your own cup?<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3993\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hmbottles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Why-should-you-bring-your-own-cup.jpg\" alt=\"Why should\u00a0you\u00a0bring your own cup\" width=\"621\" height=\"367\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hmbottles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Why-should-you-bring-your-own-cup.jpg 790w, https:\/\/www.hmbottles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Why-should-you-bring-your-own-cup-300x177.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hmbottles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Why-should-you-bring-your-own-cup-761x450.jpg 761w, https:\/\/www.hmbottles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Why-should-you-bring-your-own-cup-768x454.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hmbottles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Why-should-you-bring-your-own-cup-705x417.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 621px) 100vw, 621px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There are a lot of reasons why you should bring your own cup. Here are just a few:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>It&#8217;s good for the environment<\/strong> &#8211; This is probably the most obvious one because it&#8217;s what we often hear, but bringing your cup also reduces packaging waste, saving trees and other materials from being used.<\/li>\n<li><strong>It&#8217;s good for your wallet<\/strong> &#8211; Drinking coffee from a reusable mug instead of buying disposable cups means more money in your pocket at the end of every month!<\/li>\n<li><strong>It&#8217;s suitable for the coffee shop<\/strong> &#8211; When customers bring their mugs, it saves them money on disposable cups, which means they can keep prices lower or even offer discounts if they feel generous!<\/li>\n<li><strong>It&#8217;s suitable for baristas<\/strong> &#8211; They have to clean up after customers who don&#8217;t bring their mugs, which takes time away from making delicious drinks or talking with other customers while working at their jobs.<\/li>\n<li><strong>It&#8217;s good for your healthy<\/strong> &#8211; A reusable mug is an excellent way to reduce single-use plastic and paper waste at home, work, or school. It&#8217;s also more beneficial because it won&#8217;t leach chemicals into beverages as some disposable mugs do. This can include BPA (Bisphenol A) in plastic cups or bleached paper with dyes that may irritate sensitive skin tissues.<\/li>\n<li><strong>It&#8217;s suitable for the store owner<\/strong> &#8211; When customers bring their mugs, the coffee shop owner can reduce or eliminate paper cup waste, which is expensive to dispose of properly. This helps them save on overhead costs so they can pass those savings on to you!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In conclusion, using reusable cups can save money, help protect our environment, and even reduce greenhouse gas emissions from landfills.<\/p>\n<h2>What can you do with your own cup?<\/h2>\n<p>When you have your own cups, you can use them for juice, wine, or champagne.

And not just any tea\u2014I&#8217;m talking about loose-leaf premium teas like Earl Grey and Jasmine Dragon Pearls here.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use it for water.<\/strong> So many places offer bottled water that has been getting warm all day. And if you&#8217;re worried about tap water quality, remember that all water can be filtered, so there&#8217;s no need to waste resources on bottled beverages.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use it for smoothies.<\/strong> You&#8217;d be surprised how much better a drink tastes when it&#8217;s freshly made instead of sitting in a blender with ice and other ingredients for hours.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Smoothies and juices<\/strong>\u2014if you&#8217;re a fan of drinking juice or smoothies out of styrofoam cups, you&#8217;ll probably want to invest in bringing your own reusable cup.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cocktails<\/strong>\u2014many restaurants have begun offering cocktails on tap. If this sounds like something you&#8217;d enjoy trying, bring your cup! You can refill it as much as you like from the tap without wasting it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Beer<\/strong>\u2014if there&#8217;s one type of beverage perfect for bringing home with you after dinner or with friends, it&#8217;s beer! All you need is their container before heading home after an enjoyable evening out together with friends;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Bring your own cup and order a beer when you go out for drinks. If you order something like whiskey or champagne, ensure that before pouring yourself one to sip on, you wash out your reusable cup first because those high-ABV drinks can leave an unpleasant aftertaste if not appropriately cleaned beforehand.<\/p>\n<h2>What type of cup should you bring on your own?<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3992\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hmbottles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/What-type-of-cup-should-you-bring-on-your-own.jpg\" alt=\"What type of cup should you bring on your own\" width=\"580\" height=\"364\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hmbottles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/What-type-of-cup-should-you-bring-on-your-own.jpg 790w, https:\/\/www.hmbottles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/What-type-of-cup-should-you-bring-on-your-own-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hmbottles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/What-type-of-cup-should-you-bring-on-your-own-717x450.jpg 717w, https:\/\/www.hmbottles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/What-type-of-cup-should-you-bring-on-your-own-768x482.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hmbottles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/What-type-of-cup-should-you-bring-on-your-own-705x443.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There are a lot of choices when it comes to reusable cups. While they may seem the same, several varieties could be better for you. Consider these suggestions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Avoid paper cups<\/strong>, as they are not meant to last and can easily be torn or ripped by sharp objects. If you must use one, make sure you&#8217;re careful with it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Avoid glass cups<\/strong> since they&#8217;re also very fragile and can&#8217;t tolerate much force or pressure. They can also be broken if accidentally dropped onto hard surfaces like concrete or tiles\u2014even more so if dropped into water!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Avoid plastic cups<\/strong> (especially those made from polystyrene foam), as they leach toxic chemicals into your drink over time and aren&#8217;t recyclable once used once or twice.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Regarding bringing your own cup, there are two main options: <strong>reusable coffee cups or insulated Smart water bottles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Reusable Coffee Cups<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3988\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hmbottles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Reusable-Coffee-Cups.jpg\" alt=\"Reusable Coffee Cups\" width=\"600\" height=\"394\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hmbottles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Reusable-Coffee-Cups.jpg 790w, https:\/\/www.hmbottles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Reusable-Coffee-Cups-300x197.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hmbottles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Reusable-Coffee-Cups-685x450.jpg 685w, https:\/\/www.hmbottles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Reusable-Coffee-Cups-768x505.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hmbottles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Reusable-Coffee-Cups-705x463.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There are many reusable cups on the market, and they come in different materials.

For example, if all these items are on a hook next to the door when you come home from work or school, consider keeping your travel mug there, too!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Keeping an extra cup in a prominent place lik<\/strong>e your car, desk at work or school, or even on the refrigerator is also good. Just make sure that it&#8217;s clean and sanitary before you use it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>You don&#8217;t have to be a hardcore environmentalist to see the benefits of bringing your cup, but you must use it correctly. The biggest mistake people make is using disposable cups over reusable ones because they think they&#8217;re saving money or don&#8217;t know any better.<\/p>\n<p>However, these cups are bad for our environment and wallets\u2014not to mention how gross they can get if you don&#8217;t wash them regularly!
