Everyone has a coffee or tea lover on their gift list this season. Over one hundred million Americans drink coffee or tea, consuming an average of three cups per day. Chicago-based online retailer, reuseit.com, offers high-quality, reusable products that replace disposable coffee cups, straws, filters, cardboard sleeves and more. View top picks for tea and coffee lovers and read below for a few eco-friendly gift ideas that are both stylish and functional.
Whether you enjoy loose-leaf tea at home or soy lattes at a café, reuseit.com suggests five green products that will make your hot drink ritual environmentally responsible and cost efficient:
1. Reusable coffee filters and tea filters - Replace tea bags and paper coffee filters with multi-use filters to reduce waste. A durable filter pairs well with a gift of loose-leaf tea or fair trade coffee.
2. Insulated travel mugs - Americans discard 130 billion paper cups every year. For life 'on-the-go', the traditional travel mug has rapidly evolved to offer features such as double-walled vacuum insulation, built-in filters and leak proof lids.
3. Glass straws and stainless steel straws - Hand-blown glass straws with filters replace not only non-recyclable plastic straws but also tea bags and coffee filters. Reusable straws can be used at home, on the commute and at a café.
4. Hot drink sleeves and cozies - Every to-go cup from the café comes with a cardboard sleeve that ends up in the trash after one use. Reusable sleeves come in a variety of designs and materials and fit easily into a pocket or purse when not in use.
5. Cold-brew coffee system - Reduce energy costs and coffee waste with coffee brewed at room temperature that remains fresh for up to two weeks.
