Purchased these solely for nostalgia purposes for my sister and me. I have always loved the NYC Greek coffee cups, and now, even though I live pretty far from NY, I have a permanent one.

Why It Gets Our Seal of Approval


  • Replica of the iconic Greek-inspired cups found all over New York City
  • Authentic down to the detailed seam
  • Great for home or the office
  • Microwave and dishwasher safe
  • Made of certified lead and cadmium-free ceramic
  • Created by the founders of TreeHugger.com
  • Responsibly made in Thailand

A reusable that looks identical to the iconic NYC disposable cup - millions of which are thrown away. It's a symbolic, high-quality reusable that highlights how big our use-and-toss addiction has become.

Product Details

Dimensions
volume: 10 ounces
diameter: 3.14"
height: approx 4"

Design and Functionality
Designed in 1963 in a New York City Greek café, the “We are Happy to Serve You” cup was picked up by delis and cafes throughout the city. This intricate, ceramic replica of the world-famous paper cup was exclusively licensed from the Solo Cup Operating Corporation. Every detail from the paper version is there, even the seam down the side. When you're in New York, you'll see people walking to work, blowing on their hot coffee in these same cups - only disposable. Just like the original paper cup, these ceramic one's don't have a lid. The sturdy ceramic construction allows you to drink hot liquids without a handle, so they're a practical way to cut back on paper or Styrofoam cups at your work or school coffee station.

Materials
Certified lead- and cadmium-free ceramic.

Sustainability
Approximately 180,000,000 paper We Are Happy to Serve You cups are sold each year - that’s a lot of waste for just one cup in one city. This ceramic replica is a clever reminder that there are alternatives to use-and-toss items, and it's also an ideal replacement for the Styrofoam or paper cups at your office coffee station.

This coffee cup is a faithful recreation of the famous New York City deli coffee cup, from the pattern and colors right down to the slightly off shape that sometimes comes with paper cups. The detail is the neatest thing about this mug. It has a fold in the lip and a crease along the side where the pattern seems to finish its "wrap". I'm not sure if it's totally faithful to the actual height of the original paper cup, because it does seem much shorter than other paper cups. It's a good weight and is quite unusual, especially since it has no mug handle.
