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 2 stamps every time you get a hot drink in a reusable mug or 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!
Don't have a reusable cup? Head to our cafés to buy one of our KeepCups, available in a range of sizes and colours.
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.
