During a pandemic, reusable coffee cups are unsafe for baristas to use, but single-use disposable cups threaten the environment, adding to the earth’s plastic problem.

Vegan and GMO free, the cups can hold hot coffee for up to 40 minutes.
They can then be eaten or thrown away, where they will decompose, creating zero waste.
