I work in a part of the world where neither Tim Hortons or Second Cup is to be found. I’m thankful for Starbucks as a result. I love my coffee.
Another feature of the part of the world where I work is bad drivers and pot holes.
Starbucks finally introduced the “Splash Stick” to this US metropolis. It’s a simple piece of plastic that covers that little slurping hole in the top of every cup. It covers that hole where vast quantities of coffee can exit rapidly upon hitting a modest sized pot hole or swerving to avoid bad drivers.
Simple and ‘it just works.’
(And yes, I re-use wherever I can to minimize waste.)
