Win an eCoffee Cup

Let’s get this out of the way…. this is not a sponsored post… it is, however, a family promotion.

You see my brother and his wife have just recently been awarded the franchise for the Ecoffee Cup in Ireland.

The airwaves seem to be completely filled with details in the past month of how the ‘single use’ cup, which was 30 years in use last year, is destroying the planet.   In three short decades, it is estimated that over 2 trillion of them have ended up in landfill – oh, in case you’re wondering, that’s 2,000,000,000,000.

I have commented before on trips to the city that everyone is walking with a coffee cup in one hand and the mobile phone in the other.  I left the city life before that became such a thing!

It is great to see so many businesses becoming more waste conscious.  I heard recently that Cork City Council has banned the use of ‘single use’ cups in their office… a great move!  I’ve also read that many cafes and take-aways are offering discounts to customers who bring their own cup…. that’s extra good news for your pocket too!

To tell you about the Ecoffee Cup…. it is re-usable.  Not only is it re-usable though, it is made from bamboo fibre which is naturally organic.  Yes, ORGANIC.   Over 1,000 farmers in China have been contracted to grow bamboo to make these cups. Bamboo fibre is also naturally sterile, and free from BPA and phthalate (nasty chemicals in plastics that can leach into your tea or coffee!).  Even the cup’s silicone lid and wrap are biodegradable.

For all the world, the cup feels like cardboard, and it looks really good too.  There are so many designs and colours to choose from.  A personal favourite would be the William Morris range.  The entire cup is also dishwasher safe, and with care should last you years.

If you want to be a environmental hero, you can rush straight over to John’s (my brother) website = The Coffee Lady and purchase your mug.  They are available both on a retail and wholesale level.  As an aside… they’d make a great Valentine’s gift too!

OR you could leave a comment below as John has given me a beautiful William Morris cup to give to one lucky reader …. only available to post within the island of Ireland (sorry!).  The winner will be drawn next Sunday 11th February… so you could have your eCoffee Cup in time for Valentine’s Day!
