3 BIG reasons you should use a KeepCup

If you're a coffee lover, having a reusable cup is an essential accessory. Whether you want a coffee on the way to university, a top up when you get there or an evening pick me up, having a reusable cup makes it that much easier - you can find them on hand at any of our cafés.

Here are three big reasons you should make the switch to a reusable cup today:

1. Save money

In all of our cafés, you can save every time you get a drink in your reusable cup. If you do forget your own cup, you can get a compostable one for an extra 35p.

This means that if you have one coffee every weekday at university, you could save over £50 during the academic year!

So you can use the extra cash to treat yourself at the end of each week or go in your savings.

2. Save the planet

Each year in the UK, we throw away 2.5 billion paper coffee cups and only recycle around 6% of them! This means that billions of cups end up in landfill, racking up a huge carbon footprint. You can help prevent this by investing in a reusable KeepCup.

3. Savour the flavour

KeepCups are barista-standard reusable cups designed to keep your drinks just as you ordered them, whether you prefer them piping hot or iced.

Made for good grip with a splash-proof lid, they are perfect for the busy uni lifestyle.

How to make it a habit

• Keep it handy: stash your KeepCup in your bag so it's always ready when you need it.
• Rinse and repeat: give it a quick rinse between drinks to keep it fresh.
• Spread the word: share the benefits with classmates and friends so they can start saving too!

So next time you're in our cafés, pick up a KeepCup to start saving!
