Good idea, but poor design August 16, 2007

I like these cups, as I feel like I am not contaminating the earth with harmful chemicals and contributing to landfills. The fact that they are biodegradable and made of sugar cane fiber is awesome-- I'm proud of the company for coming up with this idea to help us eliminate the waste we produce. I only hope that products like this will be used by more and more people.
There is nothing wrong with each individual cup-- it looks rustic but cute. It works for both hot and cold liquids; however, if you have boiling hot liquid you will need to be careful since the cup isn't insulated and you will feel the heat in your hands quickly.
The ONLY downside of these cups (and the reason for 3 stars rather than 5) is that they terribly stick together. It is a huge problem. The cups (obviously) arrive stacked together, and so when you try to pull out each individual cup from the other-- it doesn't come out! The only way I have found to pry a cup apart from the others is to bend inward the edges and pinch it together and pull (which tears the lip of the cup). That's the only way to get them apart. So at the end, you have a partially torn cup. It's a huge design flaw, which they would have to change in order for me to recommend this product. It doesn't matter too much for me personally, since I live alone at present and don't really care about the appearance-- but I'm sure I wouldn't feel good giving a torn bent up (used-looking) cup to someone else who comes to visit.
Would I buy this product again? Yes, because I care about earth-friendly products. However, if there was another company that sold a similar biodegradable cup that didn't have this sticking problem, I'd switch over in a heartbeat. So the company needs to fix this problem to be successful with this product. I know I'm crazy to write such a long review on a cup, but I think it will help others to know what they are buying to see if it is worth for them. I only have a problem with this company's cups. Their other products-- sugar cane bowls and plates-- are great.
