Recently, a US netizen released a post entitled "does Starbucks' new cup lid give up?", which sparked a heated discussion among netizens.

According to the poster, when he was packing coffee at a Starbucks store recently, he noticed that the lid of the packing cup had changed. He thought it was an accident, but when he went to Starbucks to buy coffee the next day, the consumer got a new cup lid again, so he asked the clerk if it was "permanent" and got an affirmative reply.

After experiencing the new hot drink cup for two days, customers said bluntly that it was "too difficult to use" compared with the old one. She said that the drinking mouth of the new lid is closer to the inside, and the mouth does not cover the whole opening well when in use. when drinking coffee, it will leak a little, and because the bulge on the edge of the cup becomes lower, the leaking coffee liquid will run along the opening to both sides. there is no time when the lid is clean.

After this feedback post was released, it immediately resonated with many users who were troubled by the new cup lid, expressing their dissatisfaction with the store's sudden "packing cup update" in the comment area.

"the easy-to-use cup lid that his family spent so much money to develop has now given up?! change a dustbin lid", "this lid will pop out when driving", "a little dehumanized", "thought Hot and Sour Rice Noodles", "mouth leak new design", "for toot lips to drink coffee, isn't it stuck lips", "lipstick is not very friendly", "it looks strangely like a bowl of porridge …" .

In addition to the replacement of hot drink cup lids, some local users said that Starbucks cold drink cups have also changed recently, switching to white non-transparent dome paper covers and paper packing cups. Fans who like to appreciate colorful cold drinks are extremely dissatisfied with this huge change, believing that if employees cut corners or make the wrong drinks after replacing them with this opaque packing cup, it will be difficult for them to judge the weight and content of the cup by the cup. it's inconvenient.

The paper straws used with cold drinks have also been complained by consumers, such as "paper straws soften as soon as they are put in less than 3 minutes", "the straw will melt if the cold drink is drunk slowly for a second", and "if you stir the drink, you will directly fold the waist."

However, while US netizens expressed dissatisfaction with the recent replacement of packing cups at Starbucks stores, users in France, Canada, Hong Kong and Macao said they were used to these ribbed paper cups.

According to them, due to some local policy requirements, Starbucks, which does as the Romans do, has long switched to paper-packaged tableware with more environmentally friendly materials. However, as feedback from netizens in the United States, these packing cups and straws have caused dissatisfaction among local consumers after they have been put into use, complaining about their poor sense of experience, affecting appetite, and the risk of liquid spilling and scalding guests.

However, despite complaints from many users, Starbucks still insists on using paper packing cups in some areas. On the other hand, some customers, seeing that the feedback was ineffective, admitted that they had been persuaded to quit by their packing cups and had switched to buying coffee with their own cups or reducing their consumption to Starbucks, teasing that they had achieved environmental protection in another way.

At present, although netizens on the social platform have said that they have got the new paper cups, there is no official information on whether to replace the packing cups in all stores in the United States. In addition, there is no relevant information on whether stores in other regions that do not have environmental protection requirements, such as the mainland and Taiwan, will have a packing cup replacement plan. Therefore, domestic Starbucks users do not have to worry too much for the time being.
