I happened to be in an Urban Outfitters today for the first time in about a decade and came across this awesome coffee cup that I picked up. It's called "I am not a paper cup..." and it's made by Decor Craft Inc. It looks just like a white Starbucks cup with lid (probably venti size) except the cup is made of porcelain and the lid is silicone. It has a two layers of porcelain to keep hot hot and cold cold. It sells for about $20 at Amazon.com. Can't wait to try it out tomorrow.
It definitely looks cool, because even close up it looks like a paper coffee cup, but I'm not necessarily buying the whole "eco-friendly" thing they're trying to pull off. For one, the cup is made in Taiwan and shipped to the U.S. For another, it comes in a plastic container. I mean, overall it's probably better than using hundreds of paper coffee cups and plastic lids, but it would be nice if it was made in America and sold with less packaging.
But it's definitely a pretty neat item.
