   Never again a disposable cup. Always carry my roadie. Already quit water bottles.

   We banned water bottles from the very beginning of that dumbest-idea-ever.

   Attention retailers!!!!
   Please do not squabble about how many ounces are in my mug and what to charge me. You are saving the cost of the cup and lid. Many of you keep your coffee inventory by the number of cups, but you can get an accurate count with the number of bags of coffee you go through. This idea offers you many marketing opportunities to bring more people in the door offering small discounts for those using their own cups. which over time will increase your coffee sales and over all sales through the additional traffic in your store. In short time you’ll save many dollars on cups and trash removal as well. Get on board, it’s no additional work for you or your staff and economically and environmentally beneficial.

   I have worked as a barista and love, love, loved my peeps who brought their own mug. It is easy for a barista to fill these up.

   If you want hot drinks I would suggest going with stainless steel though. Consider a spill-proof lid as well. Better safe than sorry with hot stuff.

   :)peace and light, live light,

   Have used travel mugs and travel water bottles for years, the convenience stores/gas stations in Illinois have a refill button they use to charge for travel mugs. Talked to one store manager, and they are happy not to have to figure out what size, what type and see a disposable cup go out the door.

   My husband used to grumble at me about not wanting to buy bottled water, etc. Now, he’s even an avid bottle and mug reuser!
   Moral to the story: Try it. It’s easier as well as better for us and the environment :-)

   I am having major problems finding a travel mug which is not plastic and not made in China. Does anybody know where I can find a steel travel mug not made in China?

   Wilfrid,
   I checked at madeinusa.com. Did a search for “steel travel mug”–0 results. Did a search for “steel mug”–0 results. Did a search for “steel”–over 13,000 results, but didn’t have time to peruse the list for a company that might make mugs. :>)

   Earth911, will you help w/ finding a US company that makes steel items & “encourage” them to make steel travel mugs? I was extremely disappointed to see that my Stanley steel travel mug was made in China :>(. Stanley used to be made in the US…
