Plastic cups for coffee

Dixie Scott 106 · 24-12-2012, 15:31

Pardon me for sounding a bit thick here, would it be alright to put hot coffee into a plastic cup or would it melt the cup.

Again appolagise for my stupidity.

If you mean like water cooler cups then double them up as the get a bit flimsy when they warm up!! Proper cups are nicer though!!

I agree about proper cups, but I like going into my town centre just to meet folk, so I'd like to take a flask of coffee to drink with me.

Do you think tescos or morrisons would sell cheap throwaway cardboard cups

You can't get much into the cup that comes with it, at least with a cardboard cup you can get at least half the flask into it.

Don't be buggering about with hot liquids in a plastic cup. They're flimsy, easy to spill and can get uncomfortably hot to hold. Thermos travel mug. Amazon and ebay for competitive prices.

why not just buy a cheap porcelain mug from tesco.

No they won't melt but you can get insulated cups from the pound shop which will be more comfortable to hold.
