There used to be a coffee shop in my town that would encourage customers to bring in their own reusable cups/mugs. Customers that did were served their drink in a glass carafe that they could then pour into their own cup. (I believe it was done that way to comply with sanitation/health code since they can't be certain that customers had cleaned their cups.) They had a 50¢ discount for those customers and they sold their own branded mugs/cups for like $5-10.
They didn't make much on their coffee unfortunately and relied mostly on tips to take care of the baristas so the pandemic took them out of business.
There's a number of takeout coffee places near me that will let you bring your own cup and give you a discount on it. You just need to know how many ounces it contains. I have an insulated stainless steel mug that I always bring. Most places that wouldn't accept them during the pandemic are back to allowing it again.
