Plastic With Your Coffee?

 
Rate This

Mmmmm… sounds good!

Or maybe not.

Hot liquids will cause chemicals from a Styrofoam or plastic cup to leach out. So unless you want chemicals along with your caffeine, it is best to choose another option.

Try one of these solutions:

* Use a paper cup
* Ask for a real mug if you are enjoying your coffee at the store
* Invest in a stainless steel (unlined) or ceramic travel mug

Before you buy a travel mug, look inside. Many mugs are ceramic or steel on the outside, but plastic on the inside.
