Cupffee is a cup that is made of wafers to allow consumers to eat it after they are done drinking their morning brew. This cup helps to reduce the amount trash in the world, and will be released in October 2017.
What is Cupffee?
Getting a cup of coffee before the day begins is a relaxing and energizing experience. However, once you are done with your hot beverage, you are left with a cup that you need to find a way to throw out. Unfortunately, over the course of a week, you can end up with a lot of trash that is bad for the environment and cluttering the desk at work. Instead, try out a cup that you can actually eat with Cupffee.
Not only is the Cupffee edible, but it also tastes delicious. The wafer is made with natural grain ingredients, and is completely biodegradable. The crispy texture manages to hold the drink without leaking, but without the need for a sugary glaze or film on the outside, which means the cup is healthy and safe for consumers that may diet.
To ensure the that the wafer is kept hygienic while the user drinks from it, there is a paper label that goes around the cup that the user can hold while they drink.
By purchasing cups that can be consumed, rather than throwing them away, each consumer can reduce their carbon footprint in the world. Over two billion cups of coffee are consumed a day, which means that the same number of cups are thrown away, filling up the world with pollution daily.
By choosing a cup that is able to naturally decompose after a few weeks, or that can be eaten instead, the creators of Cupffee are making a better environment for the future.
Using Cupffee
The Cupffee can be used with any temperature of drink, regardless of whether the drink is freezing cold or boiling hot. However, due to the edible and biodegradable nature of the cup, it should not be used to hold a drink for more than 40 minutes. Most coffee loses its heat before then anyway, so 40 minutes should be plenty of time to enjoy a drink before the cup needs to be consumed or thrown out.
If you choose to throw it out, rather than eat it, consumers will only need to wait for a couple of weeks before it can be used as compost.
