Grab those reusable cups and head to Starbucks, the chain is accepting them again.

That’s right, starting June 22 customers will once again allow orders using reusable cups by using its new contactless model.

Under the new model, you simply bring in your clean cup, keep your lid, place your cup in a ceramic cup and hand it to a barista who will pour your drink.

From Delish.com:

Starbucks reusable cup model is a key part of the brand’s commitment to reducing single-use cups when possible, they wrote in the announcement. The company is also bringing back the promotion that offers customers $.10 cents off their drink when it’s served in a reusable cup.

The new process, which will launch in-store only for now, only accepts clean cups from customers. Customers will place their clean travel mug in a ceramic mug and keep their lid. Baristas will then pour the drink in the reusable cup—only touching the ceramic mug—before handing it off for customers to cap themselves. This model is meant to eliminate as much person-to-person touch contact on one reusable cup as possible.

No news yet on when reusable cups will be accepted at the drive-thru.
