The Reusable Coffee Cups You'll Want To Take Everywhere This Fall

Now that straws are out of the picture, it's time to set our sights on the next wasteful item we could all live without. To-go coffee cups have my vote! They're unnecessary, often unrecyclable, and produced in staggering amounts. (Starbucks alone serves about 8,000 per minute.)

In keeping with the brand's line of water bottles and filters, Soma's new model is sleek, minimalist, and easy to use. A double-walled glass bottle topped with a stainless-steel filter, it lets you brew your own pour-over coffee, cold brew, and tea from home. The cold brew function provides a nice alternative to buying iced coffee in a plastic cup—just let your grounds soak in the fridge overnight and they'll be ready to go in the morning. And once the cooler weather hits, you can use the same bottle to brew your own hot blend.

Frank Green is an Aussie brand that's on a mission to nix single-use bottles. Their reusable cup is sleek and stunning, and you can customize its colors based on your preferences. Its unique design features a push-button up-top and small sipping hole, meant to prevent spilling and keep drinks at a steady temp.

YETI's industrial mugs are made for camping, so you know they're super durable. Made of stainless steel, they're dishwasher-safe and will keep your drinks hot for a loooong time. They're a nice option to keep on your desk at work or bring to a café, and they come with a choice of two lid styles: open or closeable.

I've long been a fan of KeepCup; the 12-ounce glass mug is the perfect size to throw in your bag, plus it's super light and durable. The cork band (which, by the way, is made from recycled wine corks) is like a built-in cardboard sleeve. It's the perfect mug to have on hand if you have to run into a coffee shop and get something to go.

Hydroflask's double-walled design keeps drinks hot for up to six hours, according to the company's website; nine according to my not-at-all scientific studies.
