Thinking about going reusable?

Save money with a Nottingham reusable cup!

It may have become a routine for you to enjoy a morning coffee or a tea in between lectures, and if this sounds like your day-to-day habit, then a reusable cup is definitely worth thinking about. 

How to get started

✅ Bring your own or purchase a University of Nottingham reusable cup at our cafés

✅ Receive a 20p discount on your drink

All proceeds go directly into the university's Environmental Initiatives Fund to aid local waste-reduction projects. Whether you bring your own cup or buy a UoN-branded reusable cup, you'll help reduce single-use cups and save money (and the planet!). 

Things to consider before buying a reusable cup 💡

1. Cheap vs high-quality reusable cups

Cheaper cups might seem like a good alternative, but they often break, leak or get left at the back of your cupboard. Investing in a good-quality cup means it'll last you many years, not months. Higher-quality cups include brands like Chilli, YETI, Hydro Flask, Stanley, or UoN cups.

2. Think about size

If you love coffees like flat whites and macchiatos, you won't need a large cup. But if you are an iced coffee drinker, maybe something bigger would suit you or a UoN cold cup.

3. How often will you use it?

If you're buying a coffee every day from our outlets, or you like to carry a bottle of water with you, it's definitely worth investing.
