I developed a distaste for styrofoam cups and Rav Blumenkrantz wasn't happy with it L'chatchilo anyhow.

What do you drink coffee/tea in?

You can get hot cups that are cardboard, but might need 2 or 3 of them to do the job.

I never use styrofoan, It's not healthy.

I enjoy my coffee way better in a very large clearish (well green-glass) mug - L'chaim ...

You're right! I can't believe that until I just googled it, I never realized there are health risks in styrofoam.

I rarely drink tea or coffee, and when I do, I use styrofoam.

If you come across overstocks of gloria-jeans or other java store take out paper mugs. they are awesome and I love the large size too

- a styrofoam cup doesnt hold up and tastes cheap for some reason. the same brew in a decent mug tastes so much better! (The power of packaging!)

count me in among the reusable mug crowd, preferably glass or ceramic. (plastic stains too easily). lasts almost forever, it eventually pays for itself, it doesn't affect the taste, and if it breaks you yell "Mazal Tov!". And its manufacture doesn't kill trees or further our dependence on Arab oil. Ya gotta love it.

Since it is now getting warm, it is time for Duncan Donuts iced coffee in those nice huge plastic cups.

I’m not sure those paper cups are ok for pesach, due to the wax coating on the inside.

We smuggled in these huge glass mugs from Israel, made in France. I can’t find that size ANYWHERE in America so this is such a pain! And now I have only 1 left for pesach, terrible when you hate doing dishes, PLUS the one from the day before is still in the sink and your eyes are sealed shut and you’re groping for the coffee at 6 am……..
