As I’ve mentioned here a few times before, I like my daily mocha. In a ceramic mug. But I can appreciate that people like to have their coffee in a takeaway cup for portability reasons. They keyword here is portability.
But what I don’t like are takeaway drinkers who (I think) pay less for their drinks in a takeaway cup and then decide to sit down and drink it in store, taking up valuable table space (as demonstrated above) away from ceramic mug drinkers. This makes it much more difficult for those of us to find space during the busier times; we mug drinkers can’t take our drinks out of the shop.
I witnessed a woman walk into Costa the other day with a large takeaway Starbucks coffee and sit down at a table to drink it! I had to admire her brazenness to be honest!
What I’d also like to know is: which method is more environmentally friendly? Disposable cups (which are obviously now recyclable), or ceramic mugs (which require a fair bit of washing up)? On one hand, Costa require constant delivery of new disposable cups. And those vehicles use fuel. But washing up requires water and electricity. Curious to know if anybody has stats and figures.
What are you? A ceramic mug or a takeaway cup person? Well, This is Jinsy kind of covers the argument here:
