- hammock 4y agoHot beverage cups are coated with polyethylene which is one of the most inert polymers you can get. You could do much worse.
- Karawebnetwork 4y agoThere are a lot of things than can go wrong when you order from a restaurant or coffee shop. There could be diseases, bacteria, virus, chemicals or even contaminent such as glass parts or insects. The answer to this question would be to only order from places you trust - and even then, contamination can happen quickly and in invisible ways.

- kzrdude 4y agoYou get paper mugs at some coffee shops. And at many you can ask to use your own reusable cup.
- leobg 4y agoAnd those paper cups are covered with what? PFOA?
