Review on ๐ŸŒฑ Stay Eco-Friendly with the KeepCup Reusable Toughened Natural 16 oz: Go Green without Sacrificing Durability by Matthew Mrspeach

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Beautiful and very aesthetic but with limited functionality

First of all, this cup is very beautiful. While it doesn't seem like a big deal, it's a lot more enjoyable to drink from and I remember buying drinks from it on a number of occasions (at least before COVID hit). I also like that when you remove the bung there is a hole large enough to insert a bean straw (which in turn lends itself to "putting drinks on the go" in it), which is actually the main reason I use it decided to buy this against my competition. I also like that it's easy to fix as Keep Cup sells various parts on their website to extend the life. From an ethical point of view, I like that Keep Cup is both B Corp and part of the 1% for The Planet. There are a few flaws in terms of functionality, but they don't bother me personally. If any of the following things are important to you, then don't buy this mug: - not thermally insulated, loses heat like a ceramic mug - a little heavy - also not super strong as it's glass (I'm very careful not to drop it ) - NOT airtight and will leak if the mug is placed on its side - the lid is a bit difficult to remove (it is not recommended to remove the lid while there is a drink in it as it may cause liquid to splatter ) - must be hand washed (DO NOT REMOVE LID. At first when washing a cup I noticed that the cork slipped off. However, over time the cork strip started to tighten) - the cork strip is slightly higher than where the hand usually rests on (not suitable if you intend to drink a lot of hot drinks). be a deal breaker for some.

Pros
  • BARISTA STANDARD: For coffee machine. The tank is tilted for a perfect pour and sits under the heads of the coffee machine group, keeping the extraction and crema intact. The volumes correspond to the standard sizes of disposable cups for the right ratio of coffee and milk, an easy workflow in a cafรฉ and a fast service.
Cons
  • old
