Modaks Espresso owner Jack Bradbury, in Dunedin, was one of the cafes serving in reusable cups on Tuesday - but he said people might use them less. Bradbury said he didn't want his company to be "dragged through the coals" for serving in reusable coffee cups. Aro Cafe manager Nick Erasmuson, in Wellington, said their cafe had not reintroduced reusable cups - but disliked turning them away. We know certainly of nine cafes who have come out on day one with a plan in place for contactless personal reusable cups." Takeaway Throwaways policy spokeswoman Hannah Blumhardt said the Alert Level 3 guidelines "do not expressly prohibit reusable cups".
