5 reasons to use a KeepCup

Posted 4 days ago

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 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.
