The Joy of Keep Cups

9/15/2015

0 Comments

 
Some time ago I was at Kaldi's Coffee in Kansas City.  They had a Keep Cup with their logo on it and I'm always on the look out for cups I might like - so I got it.  This one, right here.

It quickly became one of my favorites.  It also became one of those that I have an irrational attachment to and resentment of anyone else using.  My husband also liked it and would grab it saying things like "let me get my coffee cup"  To which I always replied - "that is NOT YOUR coffee cup"  For the sake of marital harmony - I got him his own Keep Cup.  It came yesterday.  Won't be a photo of it because he's go it with him in the car, but it looks a lot like the Kaldi's one, except the band and cup colors are reversed.  That's one of the awesome things about Keep Cups - you can really really customize them.  Something classic and dignified or like my new one - a child's sippy cup for coffee.

It's bright and fun and fitting for a balloon artist like me.  Also, the colors tell a story.  In college my hair was bright pink.  Most recently it's purple and aqua - and yellow is one of my favorite colors.  I paint my kitchen yellow because it's bright, happy and fun.  The kitchen is the heart of the home, so it should be bright, happy and fun.  So you can see why those are the colors I chose for my new cup.

I'm a sucker for good packaging and the Keep Cup people did not disappoint me.  Check out this mailer!!

When I got it there were two cups in it, so it was tall, like on the left.  However I noticed that it is very versatile and while it might or might not work for two of the large size cups, you can do several small, a couple of mediums, some mediums and some smalls.  All sorts of things.  I know that I'm going to Pinterest the heck out of the box and it will soon become a place to store my knitting projects in progress.  

The colors and fun, the packaging is cool, but there's more to the product than that.  Keep cups are designed to cut down on disposable cup use.  On their website they have a section that helps make the impact of reusable cups personal.   I just started and entered 4 times - the amount of times I used my keep cup last week.  5 more uses and I will have saved enough energy to power a light bulb for 24 hours.  I'm a grown up and all of that, but even for us big kids it's more engaging to see it presented like this instead of graphs and numbers.

Reusable or not, cool website or not - I would use this if it was hard to clean or left a weird taste in my coffee.  It is super easy to clean and my coffee tastes fine.  I spend a lot of $$ on my beans - putting them in something that is going to change the taste is a big no no!

Visit http://www.keepcup.com.au/  and check them out.  They are an Australian company, but if you're in the USA like me, that's not an issue.  They have an order page set up just for us and shipping is from LA, so it's not expensive.

    I love coffee - GOOD COFFEE, not that stuff in a can.  I'm addicted to the small batch roasted beans from artisan roasters around the country.  These are some notes on coffees I have enjoyed.  (the ones I didn't like I pretend didn't happen to me)
