5 reasons to use a KeepCup

By BaxterStorey 27 Jun 2024

Save money and the planet. 

If you're wondering if you can use a reusable cup on campus, the answer is always yes you can! We love reusable cups, and you can buy a UAL KeepCup in any of our cafés. There's so many benefits of owning one: 

1. A simple step to be sustainable

According to WWF, UK consumers are the second biggest users per person of single-use drinks cups and we are set to throwaway a third more takeaway drink cups by 2030.

You can help prevent this by using a KeepCup, your own cup or mug - a simple yet effective solution to avoid waste and do your part in supporting the planet. 

Work out how much plastic, CO2 and energy you can save by using a KeepCup using the Impact Calculator.

2. Save money (a lot in the long run!)

Use our loyalty reward scheme to save some pennies. Pick up a loyalty card in our cafés and get a stamp every time you get a hot drink in a KeepCup or reusable cup, and after every 10 stamps you can get a free coffee or tea. 

You'd be surprised at how much money you can actually save over the year!

3. Keep your drink hotter or colder for longer

Reusable cups are designed with insulation in mind, unlike single-use coffee cups. This means that your drink will stay just the way you ordered it whether you choose a piping hot cappuccino or prefer an iced latte. Check out our seasonal drinks to see what's currently on offer. 

4. Keep the drinks flowing

The benefits go beyond campus. Crave a cuppa first thing in the morning? Enjoy a drink on your commute before you even step foot into uni, top up during the day in our cafés then grab one for the way home. With a splash-proof lid and easy-to-carry design, KeepCups are made to last making them perfect to use no matter where you are.

5. Don't settle for less than barista-standard

KeepCups are the world's first barista standard reusable coffee cup made for the perfect pour. Their sizes replicate industry standard single-use cups for the ideal coffee-to-milk ratio, to make sure your coffees stay delicious.

Don't worry, we have them in lots of different colours so you can find your favourite. Pick one up in our cafés today!
