Brew 340ml reusable coffee cup M, Barista approved reusable coffee cup. Durable glass design for better coffee on the go. Microwave and dishwasher safe.
Free click and collect, or add $7.95 for delivery. Seems to only be the colour pictured. Unsure of deal end date as marked 'reduced to clear'.
the lid adds expense and small volumes sold adds expense compared to mugs.
the war on wastes had the support of supermarkets as they don’t need to supply free bags now, but the war on one time use coffee cups might lead to less take away coffees so cafe owners will no promote it.
cant see cafes charging an extra $1 for eco friendly cup if you forgot your own ….
i’ve seen some cafes selling keeper cups but as a % of consumers they don’t seem to have taken off unless the govt mandates phasing out of single use cups and that might “ cost jobs as people buy less coffees”.
also drive thought coffees how do you give them your cup while card queue up behind …..
i’d love to see single use cups go but i can’t see support for it unlike shopping bags which saves the supermarkets millions.
Should ban all disposable items.
Do it like an Italian espelresso bar where your served a ceramic cup and you drink it immediately, creates a job for a dishie as well.
I forgot which place, but I remember seeing a cafe or eatery that gave customers a 20c or something off their coffee of they brought their own re-usable cup
Yeah my local cafe is 50c off for keep cups
These were designed because cafes were turning down mugs/other reusable cups due to sizes of whatever the person was bringing in not being standard (i.e bring a deceptively small 12oz mug and claiming you want to buy a small/8oz cup).
Now, less of an excuse.
Thanks. Got 2 on pickup.

Why are you telling Donna to forget cash rewards?
These are durable but easy to lose.
I know as I have a few of these and my co-workers somehow keeps losing them in the office.
You did it, didn’t you?

https://www.kmart.com.au/product/travel-coffee-cup-black/190… $1.50 but replacing glass body with plastic
I've got a plastic keepcup (free from Jamaica Blue, would never pay full price for one lol) and after a lot of use it is starting to make the coffee taste a bit strange and it kind of smells…
That's with me washing/rinsing and drying it after every time I use it.
Same with a 50c Coles travel cup I picked up.
Glass ones are undoubtedly better but the price is a jump.
Edit: $5 at Target
Yeah I bought a keep cup a couple of weeks ago but it ruined the coffee taste (plastic/rubbery smell/taste) so went back to disposable ones.. :(
Glass ones are much better. I don't even know why they are bothering with plastic.
But yeah, I just get a disposable one most of the time now too, not worth the 20c of ruining my coffee haha
Disposable cups are lined with plastic and have a plastic lid.
The plastic keep cup won't change the taste of your coffee any more than a take away cup.
@spaceflight: And yet it does.
There are literally thousands of types of plastics and rubbers/silicon.
Some smell/taste like chemicals
@systmworks: There are 2 relevant plastics here.
Polypropylene (PP) - the Keep Cup
Polyethylene (PET) - disposable cups.
PP has a higher heat resistance to PET.
The fill temperature for PET is up to 71 degrees, while the fill temperature for PP is up to 80 degrees.
Both plastics are inert to what you would be putting in them for tea and coffee.
You're probably missing the chemical flavour that comes from the PET plastic in disposable cups due to the lower heat resistance.
stainless steel ones from Kmart or target are an option, insulated and cheap.
I have from freebie plastic ones from conferences, doesn't alter flavour BUT dishwasher will make brittle over time, stainless if you are worried about breakage, glass if you can risk breakage.
Does plastic alter flavour ? …, the disposable cups currently used are lined with plastic, that's why they don't decompose, bigger issue is the mouth feel of keeper cups as lids are thicker than disposable ones.
kmart travel cup $1.50 plastic if on a budget

Gawd, that look hideous.
Yeah, it looks bad but I'm sure if you were actually after a glass cup you could do better.
No choice of colours?
How is this Barista approved. A cup is a cup
They're standard sizes so they know how much to fill them for a small/medium/large etc., and they fit under the portafilter.
Then say standard size, not that some unknown barista has provided approval.
I'm not sure they've updated the glass to be 'durable'.
The book that came with mine clearly stated its 'soda lime glass', which is the cheapest glass one can make and not a premium durable glass.
my reusable glass drinking straw is made from some special glass that is tempered, very tough.
"It is very rare for a glass straw to break while drinking from it. You can bang it … The main ingredients of borosilicate are silica and boron oxide. "
These are great cups but after some time the lids leak when you drink from them.
I've switched to Frank Green which I think are much better https://frankgreen.com.au
They have a proper seal so won't leak.
They are not standard cup sizes so if you want to easily use them at a cafe or home you are limited to the Original small and stainless steel small and regular.
The bigger cups still work. The espresso needs to be made into a glass first and then poured into the Frank Green.
Which barista approved this cup?
Cleaver Greene.
Heston Brumenthal.
Heston told me he only approves of ceramic 'don't talk to me till I've drunk my coffee' mugs.
and don't expect a response until after I've had my second.
Ugly colour but great deal at $15 pickup! Thanks OP.
Anyone else had their order cancelled?
They make it sound like "reusable" is a new invention.
Why is this so expensive compared to a normal coffee mug?
It does not appear to be double-walled.
