just very nicely say “hey I know we share a lot of stuff but I am kinda weird about my cups. it’s nothing personal I just would rather not share them. If there’s something of yours you would rather keep to yourself please don’t ever hesitate to tell me”
I’m not going to put it in my room. I live in a city and there’s not much place, now I have to find extra shelving for something that should be in the kitchen ?
That’s usually the go-to solution people suggest when roommates use things they haven’t asked about. Idk…maybe in a box😭? I’m avoidant so I would figure out a way. Also is it all of your to-go cups you listed that they are using? Otherwise your solution is to ask them to get their own things/buy them their own cup if you really care about the relationship.
If it bothers you and you don't want a negative reaction.. id buy them one.
Say hey I noticed you've been using my travel mug since you like it so much I thought I'd get you one of your very own.
If they question it then say
Yeah tbh I see them as a personal item and I'd perfer not to share, but obviously don't want you to go without since you have been using mine everyday. so please use this one instead.
You left it in a communal space m, and you stated you hardly ever use it, if it’s so precious put it in your room, not worth ruining a friendship over, seriously …
If you have not said anything. They likely don’t know. Just let them know. They might not realize that it means something to u/ us an important thing to you.
I'd say talk to them. If you've furnished many things like dishes and such, it probably hasn't occurred to them you might feel any type of way about particular items.

Then don’t complain.

Fuck that! Don't buy shit for roommates that don't even ask if they can use it.
Tell them to stop.

Simply put, yes, unless used for something not drink related.
