Reusable Cold Cup
I recently bought this reusable, cutie Copco Cold Beverage To Go Cup from Bed Bath and Beyond for $7.99 (plus 20% off with a coupon). I rarely drink soda, but if I did, I would totally try to get fast food places to fill up this cup instead of their disposable ones. I do enjoy the occasional treat of a frozen drink at the coffe shop at work or a milkshake from Chick-Fil-A (which come in polystyrene cups—ick). The coffee shop uses my new cup with no issue, but I haven’t tried it anywhere else yet.What I love about this cup
- Reusable
- Secure lid that is easy to screw on
- Fat straw/stirrer, sturdy enough for chunks
- BPA-free
- Dishwasher safe
- Affordable price
- Feels solid
- Tag is made from post-consumer recycled paper
- Some places give a reusable cup discount
- You can fill it up to the very brim and the lid still fits on without overflowing the cup
What I don’t love about this cup
- Made in China
- Made from virgin materials
- I wish it came in more colors
- Too big for the size of drinks that I usually get (but I show people that the middle of the brown section is 12 oz.)
Copco also makes a double-walled hot cup version that comes in several colors and features a sipping hole in the lid, just like disposable cups have.
Update: I brought my cup into a McDonald's for my annual Shamrock Shake and they used it without question. Added bonus, instead of filling it to the 16 oz point, which I estimated for the cashier, she filled the whole thing for me.
This guy is also great for drinking ice water out of. Sipping ice-cold water from a straw seems almost like a restaurant treat.

How cool! I need one of these for all of my frappacinos!
Is this cup double walled?
Q: Is this cup double walled?
A: It is not. I've heard that Starbucks just re-released their double-wall cold cup, though. A friend has the Starbucks one and I LOVE it, but at the time I bought my Copco one, Starbucks was not selling them anymore and they were going for $50 on Ebay.
I bought this same cup at Bed Bath and Beyond for $7 a couple years ago and am still using it every day. I drink only water in it, as I found that when I used it for juice one day the water tasted funny even after a few washes. So now I stick to just water with it. I find that I drink MORE water with it because it's easy to transport everywhere. I do love it and it has really lasted very well. It has also traveled across at least 4 countries with me. One of my favorite purchases!
