Huskee: A Coffee Cup (made from coffee husks!)

Huskee is a brand of coffee cups, made from repurposed coffee husk and polymer. In beautiful sand and dark brown shade with natural flecks, these cups have the same thermal insulation as paper cups, but use up waste.

We like Sanctuary Coffee (profits help animal sanctuaries!) NHS says that it’s best to avoid caffeine for pregnancy/nursing (or no more than 2 cups of weak tea daily – or 1 cup of mild coffee or cola). Also avoid caffeine for certain medical conditions. 

Millions of disposable coffee cups are thrown away daily, the paper is lined with microplastics, and littered sweet caramel liquids with caffeine and xylitol can harm dogs and wildlife.

Avoid caffeine for pregnancy and medical conditions. Use a sink strainer to catch coffee grounds (and tea leaves) to prevent them clogging sinks. Just bin grounds, as although a few spent caffeine ones won’t harm (balanced with shredded cardboard to balance acidity), too many could harm compost worms.
