You can use your own mug at Starbucks for "nearly all orders"

I went from memory, but I have now checked to make sure.
Voiced = Hard (this, IPA: ð)
Voiceless = Soft (thanks, IPA: θ)

The only dissenting voice is an answer on Quora - which, being from Quora, just reinforces the above.

I assume that SB will exercise the right to decline “offensive” mugs.

I still have one of these that I got about thirty years ago.

Timmy’s would always fill your reusable cup, although they would sometimes make your order in a disposable cup and then transfer it to the travel mug. They now have some scheme where you get a returnable mug (deposit required) that can be brought back to the franchise and reused. I don’t know the details. They stopped allowing personal mugs during the pandemic*, but have started again.

I know I have used my own mugs at various other coffee places without any issue. My wife likes this especially, because our travel mugs are large enough for a medium coffee with room for double milk, the way she likes it.

I’m pretty sure I have used my own mug at Starbucks, but I only ever order a plain dark roast brewed coffee, or as I like to think of it, “coffee”. Maybe this is just in Canada?

This has been true (app and all) in South Korea’s Starbucks stores for more than 10 years.

Plus, they will rinse out your cup without complaint.

Louth?

Yes. Last sentence quoted in the BB post:

The chain also won’t accept cups larger than 40 ounces.

I believe specifying it in the app is new, but they did previously accept personal mugs. They stopped accepting them during Covid.

You know who else will fill your mug for you? Every indy coffee shop I’ve ever been to.

My feces and giardia contaminated mug looks perfectly clean, butt it’s not.

Oh, nice, I have a travel mug I really like and it’s good to know I can get it filled rather than having to use a plastic or paper cup. And yes, I know that Starbucks coffee is the worst thing evarrr, at least if you’re talking about it on the internet, but I guess I’m one of the rubes who just likes convenience, and their Veranda roast is just fine, thanks.
