Starbucks will now let customers use personal cups for nearly all orders
(CNN)–
Starbucks customers can now use their own cups for nearly all orders.
The coffee chain has added the reusable cup option to drive-thru and app orders.
Previously the option was only available for orders made in person in the drive-thru line.
Customers just have to tell the barista they have their own mug when they order.
The cup will then be collected at the pick-up window using a ‘contactless vessel’.
On the app there’s a new ‘personal cup’ option added to the customization button.
Starbucks says the cups must be clean and less than 40 ounces.
These changes are part of a movement to shift away from single-use plastics.
