Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
Based in the heart of York, 'The Pottergate Pantry' wanted to actively reduce their environmental footprint and offer customers a high-quality reusable cup that reflected their brand's ethos. They switched to offering the Ecoffee Cup DY491 as their primary reusable option, both for sale and as part of a new loyalty scheme.
"Our customers absolutely adore them. They're light, stylish, and the fact they're made from plant materials is a huge talking point. We've seen so many familiar faces coming back with their cups, which is exactly what we wanted to encourage."
Robert Davies – Owner, The Pottergate Pantry
The pantry has cut its monthly order of single-use cups by 30%, significantly reducing waste and overheads.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Give the cup, lid, and sleeve a good wash in warm, soapy water before its first use.
- Ensure the silicone lid is pushed on firmly all the way around to create a secure seal.
- To attach the sleeve, simply slide it up from the base to a comfortable position for your hand.
Keeping It Going
- The cup, lid, and sleeve are all safe for the top rack of your dishwasher.
- For any stubborn coffee rings, a gentle scrub with a non-abrasive sponge will do the trick.
- Microwave for short bursts only (max 40 secs, 800W) to reheat – it's not for cooking.
- Allow all parts to dry completely before reassembling to keep it fresh.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this reusable bamboo coffee cup 12oz fully leak-proof?
A: It features a non-drip, resealable lid designed to prevent splashes and minor spills when walking. However, we don't advise throwing it into a bag when full, as it's not designed to be 100% watertight under pressure.
Q: Will it stain easily from coffee or tea?
A: The material is naturally resistant to staining and odours. For best results, we recommend rinsing it out after use and washing it regularly to keep it looking its best.
Q: What exactly is it made from?
A: The cup is a composite of natural bamboo fibre and cornstarch, bound with a plant-based PLA resin. The lid and sleeve are made from food-grade silicone.
Q: Can I really put it in the microwave?
A: Yes, but only for a quick reheat. The official advice is a maximum of 40 seconds at 800W. It should not be used for cooking or boiling liquids in the microwave.
Q: Is 12oz a standard coffee size?
A: Yes, 12oz (approximately 340ml) is a very common 'regular' or 'medium' size in most UK cafés, perfect for lattes, cappuccinos, and Americanos.
Q: Does the cup feel hot to hold?
A: No, the included silicone sleeve provides excellent insulation from heat, ensuring the cup is always comfortable to hold, even with a fresh, hot drink inside.
Q: Is the silicone sleeve removable?
A: Absolutely. Both the lid and the sleeve can be easily removed for thorough cleaning.
Q: How heavy is it to carry around?
A: It's incredibly light, weighing only 200g. You'll barely notice it in your bag, making it ideal for daily use and commuting.

Explore more from ecoffee cupWhy a Bamboo 'Composite' is Smarter Than You Think
When you hear 'bamboo cup', you might picture something carved from a woody stalk, but the reality is much more advanced. This cup is made from a composite material, which is a bit like baking a cake. We take natural ingredients – in this case, bamboo fibre for strength and cornstarch for bulk – and mix them together with a plant-based binder called PLA. This mixture is then moulded into the cup's final shape. This process is what makes the Ecoffee Cup so brilliantly lightweight and durable, unlike brittle ceramic or heavy glass. It gives you the best of both worlds: the eco-friendly credentials of natural materials and the practicality needed for a cup you'll use every single day.
Who Should Buy This?
- Independent Coffee Shops: Offer a fantastic, branded eco-friendly travel mug to regulars and build a loyal, green-minded customer base.
- University Bookshops & Cafés: A must-have item for environmentally conscious students and staff looking to reduce campus waste.
