Starbucks is launching new colour-changing cups in UK stores this summer.

The new product – called the Confetti Cold Cup - is being launched in the US this month. They will be the company’s first new reusable cups since the coronavirus pandemic began.

The Confetti Cold Cup changes colour when a cold drink is poured inside.

While they are currently being rolled out in the US, a Starbucks spokesperson told the Evening Standard that UK stores will be stocking the Confetti Cups this summer.

The exact timing of the UK introduction of the cups is dependent on the coronavirus pandemic, the spokesperson said.

Photos of the new Confetti Cold Cup have been posted on social media by some American users over the past week.

The cup can also be found on some resale websites such as eBay, where it is being offered for more than $20.

Starbucks banned the use of reusable cups in UK stores on March 4 to avoid spreading Covid-19.

The coffee company told Business Insider they are still not refilling reusable cups in their stores.

Many other coffee chains, including Pret A Manger, Costa Coffee, and Greggs, have also banned reusable cups in-store.
