Appears I'm driving the chuck wagon again this year for the camping trip. For those early mornings, what's a cheap way to ensure to have enough coffee/cocoa drink froms?

Not very eco-friendly, but just buy a bag of Styrofoam cups.

It may come down to that but it's a BIG truck, an F-250. If I could find a way to put a box of non heartstring (so if they break, I don't feel any loss) mugs in it, I would.

EDIT: Possible answer: look at Craigs List!

Check Craigs List and if its available in your area, FreeCycle, possibly pick a bunch up for nothing.

Have everyone bring his/her own cup, mug, tankard, stein, or drink receptacle of choice. Problem solved.

That's the suggestion I made to the camp organizer. It's not so much a problem solved (people forget, you know) but it does reduce the numbers I have to carry.

"Spares" have to be carried; I can't operate under a "tough luck, Charlie". There are several different reasons for that, but a basic one is that after weeks of being the nice one, I don't want to suddenly come across as the meanie.........I don't ever want to come across as a meanie.

Since when is a meal kit not part of basic camping gear? I can't imagine forgetting to bring that stuff on a outdoor adventure. It's camping, not an overnight at the Ritz.

That's my thought as well....what is everyone eating off of? Or with? How is that being handled? Cups and such would be part and parcel with that. It sounds as if this is an organized trip. I'd imagine there is a list of what to bring. These are adults right? Or at least old enough to be away at a dive camp. I'd think they have some level of responsibility for themselves if they are capable of diving.

We have the paper type from Costco, cost effective, more than enough in the package and the kids can't break them.
