The ONLY cup for to the 1M cupholder...

Ascari · 11-03-2011, 04:38 PM

Now, I tend to agree with the general theme that there should be no open beverages in my 1M, but, the one exception, is my recently acquired 1M customised Keepcup - Orange highlights, perfect size, and that tab on top slides over to seal it up to stop any coffee on my alcantara!

Thought some of you might appreciate this - you can make your own custom 1M cup at www.keepcup.com - It's now the only environmentally friendly part of my 1M

I'm bracing myself for the cupholder ridicule, but, well, I can take it

What size did you get that would fit under there? ES, S, M, L?

Ascari · 11-03-2011, 04:47 PM

Mine is the small - 8oz - it's the size of a regular coffee in Sydney - It's smaller than a Tall Starbucks size (which is more like the medium, which won't fit) - the extra small is more like a double espresso shot.

CH1M · 11-03-2011, 04:59 PM

Nice work! I have tried a multitude of combo's to try and get some type of cup to fit in there but to no avail...

A practical necessity for those Sydney streets

SparklingRed · 11-03-2011, 06:16 PM

lol... nice

True.... Double shot macchiato thanks..

1SerieStud · 11-03-2011, 09:33 PM

Brilliant! I hate to say this but I may have to copy you

I can always add a twist of blue to the orange and black (Gator colors), but I'm digging the all black look with orange plug and band.

DooBs · 11-04-2011, 12:35 AM

Harlequin · 11-04-2011, 04:35 AM

Ascari, is a M too tall for the centre armrest?

Ascari · 11-04-2011, 06:27 AM

Pretty sure it will be. Small fits quite snug

Ascari · 11-04-2011, 06:43 AM

That's a pretty good idea too. You'll have a whole stack of accessories for your M by the time it arrives!

If American coffee was strong as it should be smaller size cups should be ok... The watery standard coffee and beer is the reason for the huge size cups. *laugh*

Ascari · 11-04-2011, 06:54 AM

True! There is, though, a small growing cult of good coffee in a few cities (LA -intelligencia, luxe coffee) but im getting a little off topic
