Or maybe they will start bringing their own disposable cups out of spite.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

This is my reusable mug.

But if people start bringing reusable containers to restaurants, it seems like asking for cross contamination. You don't know where the person's container has been or how clean it is. Or how long it will be before they clean it after using it.
It doesn't sound like a good idea to me.

The last I heard was you can reuse their containers as long as they've been cleaned.
I only use them for powdery things. All else get bagged. In the zillions of plastic bags they provide. It's hard to try to be environmentally conscious but most everything has to be bagged or contained.

Originally posted by JimboJSR View PostIn the UK, the mug doesn't actually come into contact with any dispensing equipment. The coffee gets poured into it from above. So, negligible chance of contamination. But if it was really awful, the staff could either refuse to use it or give it a blast of boiling water from the coffeemaker.
I was once embarrassed to find I hadn't washed out my reusable mug since the last coffee... the barrister simply noted this to me and said they'd clean it and gave it a brief rinse in their sink."I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump
