My daughter gave me a KeepCup for Christmas and I love it. It is a go-cup designed to replace disposable cups. It is made from reusable durable plastic with a tight-fitting lid. It will fit under any coffee machine head. It is splash-proof. I take it to my coffee shop to be filled. It comes in three sizes. The 8 oz. original size is comparable to a small to-go latte size. The medium is 12 oz. and comparable to a large mug. The large is 16 oz. and comparable to an extra-large mug. They come in an assortment of colors.
