Home-made coffee

SIR – If people need their shot of coffee in the mornings but are against paying a 25p levy for a disposable cup (report, January 5), why not make it at home before setting out, or persuade employers to provide coffee-making facilities?

That would save money, time queuing and the planet. Roger Foord

SIR – Christopher Pratt (Letters, December 31) complains about the extortionate price of bottled water in Nice airport.

To address this, airports should be required to provide drinking water fountains airside so that people can fill their empty bottles once they have passed through security. This would reduce the number of bottles that have to be thrown away. Mary-lou Kellaway
