New Starbucks Cups

If you haven't figured it out by now, I'm a Starbucks fan. Recently, they've come out with two new reusable cups that I really like. (Yes, I'm that pathetic. I'm writing about the CUPS.)

The first is a reusable hot beverage cup. It's easy to use, with a twist-top instead of the flip-tops that are so hard to keep clean. It's also the first reusable cup that they've made in a Venti (as far as I know, anyway, and the barrista at my local Starbucks backed this up). I love my twice-weekly Starbucks fix, but I always feel a little guilty at the waste of the reusable cups. But I also wanted my Venti, and the cups only went to a Grande size. So this was an exciting find. Which should tell you something about the relative level of excitement in my life as a whole.

The other new cup is a reusable cup for cold beverages. With a two-layer, insulated design, this cup looks exactly like the disposable cold beverage cups. The straw is made so it won't fall out of the top of the cup, and it, too, comes in Tall, Grande and Venti sizes.
