(Disclaimer: I hate coffee. I’m one of the very few adults I’ve ever met that does. But I love this idea so much, and since the morning cup of coffee is one of the most popular delusions, at least here in America, I had to share it, in the hopes it will help. It also works for tea and hot chocolate, or [since I like my caffeine cold and carbonated] even soda!)
So you’ve decided, in these fun economic times, that you need to save some money. One of the first places that people mention when talking about cutting expenses is the morning cup of coffee. But how the heck do you ride the bus with one of those standard coffee cups? And why can’t the lidded cups at the grocery store have those nifty-keen lids that they have down at the local coffee shop? You might like to know that you’re not the only one — a lot of people have trouble with this, not because of the quality of the coffee or the ability to buy it between buses, but because they’ll miss those wonderful cups! (And for those trying to live the “Home Business Lifestyle:” Why should I have to leave home to get my coffee when all I’m really doing it for is the nifty cup?”)
Enter the I Am Not a Paper Cup; a double-walled ceramic cup in the same size and shape as the ones you throw away every day. It doesn’t need a paper sleeve, because it’s designed to keep your coffee hot and your fingers unburned; and the silicon lid is just exactly like the lids you’re used to! Make people at the bus stop wonder if there’s a new coffee shop in the neighborhood, or sit at home at your desk with the coffee cup you’re used to. (This one won’t slop all over your desk if you nudge it!) Fill it with anything you like, and take pride in keeping paper and plastic out of the landfills. About as expensive as a week’s worth of those coffee shop long-named drinks, this will save you money for as long as you use it; and no one will ever know — unless you tell them — that it’s not paper. Good for the environment; good for your wallet; good for your ego — a WIN all around!
I HIGHLY recommend taking a look at I Am Not a Paper Cup!
