Zero Waste Challenge – Reusable Coffee Cup | We drink a lot of coffee. 587 million cups per day for Americans. That’s quite a few cups that are going right into the garbage. This is also a pretty easy zero waste lifestyle switch. Instead of getting that coffee in a disposable cup bring your own.
I use a reusable, ceramic coffee cup for warm coffee and a mason jar for iced coffees. Easy peasy! If you want to go a step further and also save money, since we spend about $1000 a year on the addicting stuff, you could start brewing your own at home. Use a french press to avoid filters or buy some reusable coffee filters here for the coffee maker you already have.

Hi! I was wondering: I use a moka pot to make a cup of coffee in the morning. It doesn't need filters and it's made of stainless steel. Is that in the same range of a french press?
I've used a reusable coffee cup since the early 80's back when they were called Commuter Cups, they wouldn't fit in a cup holder because cars didn't have cup holders! They would ride on your console (or the top of your car) without tipping over.
Hi Tyche! They are similar. Moka pots have a much finer grit than French presses thus producing a stronger brew.
That's crazy! 😀
