As of Wednesday, Starbucks will allow customers to use their own cups and mugs on visits to company-operated locations in the U.S. and Canada, as well as participating licensed stores. If you're placing a mobile order, simply click "customize," then scroll down and select the option to use a "personal cup." To "ensure hygiene and safety," your barista will collect it from you "using a contactless vessel."
There are a few things you'll want to keep top of mind, according to CNN's Jordan Valinsky. First, don't forget to clean your own cup before you order — the chain won't do so for you — and it can't exceed 40 ounces. Also, you can't use a personal mug if you order via a third-party app.
