commented on a projectThe DCI cup is a great visual gimmick, but otherwise no real improvement on a normal travel mug. It fails the practicality and convenience tests on a couple of counts: it's heavy, breakable, not spill-proof, and, once dirty, sits dirtily in your bag and can't be reused until you wash it. Those are four of the problems you might look at. Another one, which is related to the weight problem, is getting people to remember their to-go cups. I have one I love, but it's heavy, so I don't carry it unless I'm planning to get coffee somewhere before I leave the house; even then, if it's dirty, I sometimes don't bring it. I wonder if you could get a lightweight fold-up mug cheap enough to sell 3 in a pack, or have coffeeshops sell them for cheap enough that people would just buy an extra, like the $1 reusable bags Whole Foods started carrying and everywhere else copied. Places with municipal composting can compost paper cups, which means less impact for the same number of paper cups.
