They are all pretty. But that's not the issue.

One of my local roasters used this type of cup for their coffee. Every time (and I mean literally "every time") I got a cup of coffee at their place, the cup ended up leaking (sometimes in a very bad way). The problem was that the cups simply were made to break down and sometimes they broke down too quickly.

They have since switched back to the non-compostable cups and sleeves.

Thank you for your input! Our cups have been in the making for about 7 years now, and we finally got the right formula to get it working. Do you think that local roasters would prefer the coffee cup designs over the more "green targeted" designs?

I think they would really like a cup that they can advertise as "green" but will hold up for a reasonable amount of time.
