    This isn’t an issue but I don’t know where else on the boards to ask.

    I need a travel mug but I can’t use the insulated one with steel as I always burn my lip in the metal. The bamboo mugs are impossible to clean except by scrapping plus the rubber holder eventually starts falling off.

    Dunnes have a really good travel mug -https://www.dunnesstores.com/p/reusable-coffee-mug/7818141?colour=Multi - but I need a bigger one.

    This one is the only size they have on the site and in stores.

    Anybody know a website where I can get big ones?

    Cheers

    That's a sort-of clone of the Keep Cup, as far as I can tell - which is available in many sizes but is painfully expensive.

    I bought two keep cups, one for me and one for my OH, I was at the till when I realised the price and just bought them. However 2 years later we still have them, mine has been in cars all over the place and in the side pocket of my backpack on the motorbike, been flung around the place and in the dishwasher, it still looks brand new and even the rubber piece is perfect.

    Get yourself a Contigo, there aren't many better out there. You can get the metal body but the drinking part is plastic and they're easily washable.

    Can be got in a few b&m stores, or their online sites.

    That does indeed look the same.

    Thank you.

    Thank you. I will give them a look.

    Cups like this can keep drinks hot or cold but are they suitable for milk? Will it still be fresh after hours?

    Speaking of Dunnes Stores, them and a couple of other chain like SuperValu* are no longer allowing customers to use reusable coffee cups for hygiene reasons during Covid-19. Take note if planning to buy coffee

    Do you mean people bringing their own cups to use at the in-store hot brink machines?

    Why are those still open? How can you be drinking coffee while going shopping around a supermarket wearing a mask that you are not shopped to touch with your hands?

    In a feat of mental gymnastics and forward planning perhaps they're buying the coffee on the way out?

    No.

    Seen plenty of the twits buying on the way in.

    My local Dunnes closed it and early in the first lockdown and again in the second and have to cover it both times because people kept trying to use it and complaining to staff there was no cups. Apparently the covering didn’t stop some people trying to use it either.

    And I believe the security guards were also stopping people going in with their own cups.
