5 benefits of using a KeepCup

Posted 3 weeks ago

From being sustainable to saving money

There's nothing better than a quality cuppa in a quality cup which is why you can buy a KeepCup at any of our cafés on campus. 

Reusable cups have so many perks that you should know, find out just how good they really are below👇

1. They're sustainable

Did you know that if you drink 5 takeaway coffees in a KeepCup per week, in a year you can save 250 single use cups and over 9kg of CO2 all by yourself? 

This shows just how much a simple step like this goes such a long way. So whether you use your own reusable cup at uni or invest in one of our KeepCups on site, you know you'll be doing a good deed.

Check out KeepCup's Impact Calculator to find out how much plastic, CO2 and energy you can save. 

2. They'll save you money

Can I bring a reusable cup to uni? The answer is always yes, you can! Whether you brew at home or fancy a coffee here, you can save some money.  

Not only do you get a free hot drink when you first buy an LSE KeepCup, you can keep saving throughout your student journey. Using a single-paper cup will cost you an extra 25p per cup on campus. This means by switching to a reusable cup you could save around £30 per academic year! 

Don't forget about the LSE Food Club app too, where you can earn free drinks and meals. 

3. They can be used wherever you are

Talk about convenience. Enjoy your favourite hot drink on your way to university, top up while your here and take one for the road. 

KeepCups are made to last so you can keep sipping anytime, anywhere. 

4. They'll keep your drink hotter for longer

Unlike paper cups, reusable coffee cups have great insulation. This means your drink will stay just the way you ordered it, hot or cold. 

With a leakproof lid, protective sleeves and barista-standard design, KeepCups are made to take on the go. 

5. They'll last you years

Once you start using a reusable cup it'll become part of your daily routine and you'll see just how durable they are. After buying one, it'll last for your entire student life - saving you a lot of money in the long-run!
