If you are in a rush in the mornings, a hot coffee sweetens your commute to the office. But a guilty conscience can tarnish the enjoyment: Every year, 2.8 billion coffee-to-go mugs are thrown away – tons of waste. Is the reusable cup a sustainable alternative?
Reusable cups are generally all drinking cups that can be used multiple times. Reusable coffee-to-go mugs with lids were developed specifically for enjoying coffee while on the go. These reusable cups can be made of stainless steel, hard plastic, glass or porcelain.
Unlike disposable cups, a reusable cup is used permanently. This means it generates much less waste. For comparison: Every German throws away an average of 130 disposable cups per year. Thousands of coffee-to-go mugs end up in the oceans, endangering entire ecosystems there. One reusable coffee mug can last for many years – and therefore save hundreds of disposable cups.

Instead of buying a coffee to go in a disposable cup, you can make your own coffee at home and take it with you in a reusable cup. This saves time, because you don’t have to stand in line at the cash register at the bakery or café. It is also cheaper in the long run. By the way: Many cafés are happy to serve their specialty coffees in reusable cups that you bring. After all, this saves they money too. Just ask next time!
A good reusable cup of course costs a little bit more than a simple plastic cup. On the other hand, it is cheaper than you might think: At Villeroy & Boch, you get beautiful To Go cups made of high quality porcelain in different price categories, depending on the decor and material. It is an investment in environmentally friendly coffee enjoyment that's worth it.

If you want to buy a reusable cup, you should take note of the
following points:
● Material: The highest quality reusable cups are made of porcelain.
They are odorless and have no taste, offer a timeless
and stylish enjoyment and impress with a familiar drinking feeling.
● Lid: A drinking cup with a lid means the hot beverage
cannot slosh or splash over the edge of the cup.
The lid also prevents the beverage from cooling down quickly.
● Seal: A good coffee mug needs a tight-fitting seal
to ensure the liquid doesn’t leak.
● Heat protection: So that you don't burn your fingers while enjoying your
coffee, the reusable cup needs integrated
heat protection or a protective sleeve.
● Cleaning: The drinking cups should be easy
to clean to ensure optimal hygiene. It is best if they are dishwasher-safe.
● Design: Your coffee-to-go mug is even more fun if it
expresses your personal style. Villeroy & Boch offers
reusable cups in plain colors and printed in many
attractive designs.
