Better title: zero waste cafes are the future of coffee culture
Stop making it sound like environmentally dangerous practices disappearing is a bad thing or like they are being killed off. Instead make it sound like it actually is
A small step to the future of environmental safety and improvement
Making it sound like that, even if the video has a different tone people who skim by will be impacted by the title and make quick judgements consciously about the topic of the video
And unconsciously about the movement over all
It depends on your associations with certain words. I read the title in a very positive way, because I don't think of "to-go culture" as something positive.
I read it as positive-and the type of person who would be irritated/outraged by the title will probably rarely come across this video due to algorithm recommendations-but yes, if this were going to be shown on Fox News, a different title would be needed
I agree it should be renamed
Agreed.
No, seriously I didn’t see it positive at all. If you know what mental tone to read the title, you can make it positive. But really, it should be changed.
I would 100 percent drive a bit further just to go to this shop instead of Starbucks :)
Oh without a doubt!!!!! I drive past Starbucks everyday & go out of my way JUST to get to my favorite gas station coffee ⛽️place. 😆 S.B. Won’t see me
Same here lol I love the Cumberland farms on my way to work, can get any fountain drink or coffees and it's only a dollar and tax
5 miles?
But not by car right.?..coz that would mean wasting fuel...
That is a little ironic lolol
Starbucks is reusable cup discount is a joke anyway. If you order a hot drink, fine, they make it with your cup, but if you order an iced drink they make it in a to-go cup, then poor that into your cup, and throw the plastic cup away. The do it for the measuring marks on the cups. 😣 My sister worked at Starbucks, and she said the trash and recycling cans both went into the garbage at the end of the night too. It's all greenwashing.
I was coming here to say this. Such crap. I've seen them do this with both hot and iced drinks. So wasteful
You'd think , they would just have a stainless steel measuring cup that could be rinsed.
@@actuallyterry You'd think. 😣
I have wondered why some products that are used frequently, such as laundry detergent, don't just come in a big tank and just reuse a plastic container. When you run out go to the store and refill instead of constantly buying new plastic one use bottles.
@@danialharper700 We had stores like that in my neighborhood back in the day. They didn't survive. I'm sure they would thrive now.
To reduce cost and improve recycling opportunities, maybe accept donated mugs. So many people have extra mugs just taking up space in their kitchens. It's a great way for people to feel they contributed to the cause.
Now this is a good idea
Imagine how much garbage Starbucks makes in a year alone? It's horrible. I hope companies in the future are more conscientious of their actions. It's nice to see some already stepping up and doing something about it!
oh, there's a lot of trash!! I remember when I used to work there. I used to throw out about 2-3 (those big industrial) garbage bags per shift, not day. shifts are split 2-3 per day
Ik! And THEY aren't even responsible for disposal
I hope Starbucks is looking at this...
i use to live near a starbucks, their garbage was everywhere, between SB, McD and Chick-fil-A,
it was a trash nightmare. toss aways even in the trees. bravo to these companies but its sadly a mere drop in the ocean.
Seems like companies and corporations should be partially responsible for what happens to packaging they sell product in. These companies have zero landfill responsibilities. Your county has to pay for Starbucks and the like.
Something I really love about my country, Italy, is the coffee culture. We don't buy giant cups to sip all morning, but a tiny shot of Espresso, to drink in a few minutes, sitting in the bar and enjoying the morning before going to work, or standing on the bar counter if we are in a rush. But in any case, we take those minutes to stay still, and enjoying a good coffee before the day begins.
Disposable products got their way in the market with the message of "you don't have time to do anything".
Taking our time to sit, have a coffee or a lunch at our own paste, means fighting this capitalistic and wasteful world.
Yes! Omg I just wrote a comment similar but about Portugal, we drink mostly an espresso and we either drink it sitting and relaxing or just standing ❤️❤️
the only problem with espresso is its gone too fast. i like having the comfort of drinking coffee for awhile but can appreciate espresso too. but both can be had in non-disposable cups so thats neither here nor there
@@Bananabear20 100%, both can exist and be ecological. I agree :)
The same about Portugal!
Same in croatia, we sit down to drink coffee. I literally can not imagine walking around drinking coffee. Besides the disposable cups change the taste od coffee completely, it isn't the best way to drink it. Normal ceramic or glass cups are the only way to go.
When they started doing this in my city I was actually annoyed I couldn't just buy a coffee cup but then I thought about it for 2 seconds and it makes total sense to bring your own refillable cup. There are so many materials available now, the plastic thing has to stop.
The pandemic made so much take out waste!!!
This is wonderful! However, as someone with chronic ankle instability, I could never visit the cafe. My ankle would instantly give out. There has to be a better way to make a statement than lining the floor with trash.
during the pandemic a shop here in KC started doing the jar thing for to go orders, charging $1 extra.
you could either return for your deposit or keep a cute little jar for future use!
great concept, more shops should follow suit
Do you know what shop it is and if they still do it? Is it the roasterie? I live near KC
@@sweekley92 it was oddly correct, not sure if they still do it
Strange that I was during the pandemic and not before. I wasn’t even aloud to bring in my own grocery bags at the hike of the pandemic. Take home jar is even stranger. I would mind less if there wasn’t a pandemic. But I do miss cafes that served coffee in actual coffee cups. I actually miss cafes, as we don’t have any anymore. Starbucks shut them all down.
I would love to see this idea in more coffee shops and big chain corporations!
Killing in many countries is more of a destroying type word. It really isn't a word of encouragement. This is something that needs to be encouraged BIG TIME!!!
I also support exposing trash all over the floor where you can't see the floor!! That should be an eye opener to anyone walking in to a shop.
Really? I'd be paranoid of the pest infestation that might happen.
@@PortraitsofWar Yeah, it's a thought-provoking stunt, but wouldn't they have thought of a more hygienic way to present the waste, like hire a skip that would sit there filled up with cups? I would not trust an establishment that thinks it is fine to sell food on a premises filled with rubbish.
@@DuncanRSHarvey Agreed. Maybe put them in a long, tall aquarium as the background of the shop? With the cups cleaned, but kept torn so there is no potential food pests to skitter around them.
Eeeek the cat. I couldn’t do that. That’d be my only barrier. Idk depends on how good the coffee was to see if I could make my mind up to override my hygienic processing side.
@@turkizno or, paste the cups on the wall like a wallpaper
I would feel proud to work at a place like this & would enjoy learning the trade.
I've been trying to get my parents to use regular reusable dishes and utensils at their own house. Whenever I visit I use a regular glass for water and my parents get upset that I've used a dish. I've been telling them that they're buying trash when they buy disposable dishes.
Your parents are big children.
are your parents old or infirm? If you use a dish, wash it for them before you leave.
How come it's so strange for people 🤔 to use dishes. That's what they're made for...?
@@karenpost710 I do wash the dish. But they still get upset. I think they think of the dishes like decor and not utilitarian. Edit to add that they are old and my dad can't really stand for long periods of time. But they were like that when my dad was healthier and younger too.
@@raapyna8544 I think their behavior stems from a deep hurt from childhood. They both grew up extremely poor, like no bed or dishes or shoes. My dad wore the same clothes everyday. So I think now, to them, the dishes they own might be too precious for them to use.
I always try to bring my own to go cups. However many places are like we won't uses them because of covid. I've just stopped getting drinks out side of home.
Here in Finland, we walk along the serving desk, pick what we want to eat, pour the coffee to the cup ourselves (it's self-service) and then pay at the end of the desk. The coffee is in a big container and you push a button or something. It's hygienic because nothing touches my cup except for my hands.
I love this so much! It will be a slow paradigm shift but it is totally doable. American culture pre1970s was to throw our trash out the car window on the side of the road. Through aggressive campaigns and legislation we turned that around within a decade.
That kitty napping at the coffee farm 🥺🥺🥺🥺
why not? keeps vermin away, they wont be nesting in the farm.
@@tdbaker3564 it makes me so happy and I'm glad there's a good reason for it thank you for enlightening me
I know right 🥰
I love this!!! I understand fully that most people (as they don't care about others and the planet unfortunately) need to see that waste...HOWEVER, I have a rodent phobia and I wouldn't want to go to a place with that garbage all over the floor not to mention, the disregard for people who are physically handicapped or elderly? Please tell me this was a very short-lived promotional event.
The coffee cups on the floor leave the shop pretty inaccessible for anyone who has trouble walking.
I love the ways they're being mindful of the environment though.
I’ve always supported bringing my own cup or dining in, but since Covid the only option is to get your orders covered in plastic. It’s sad to think about how much waste we’ve produced during Covid.
Not sure if I would drink coffee and that coffee shop with all the garbage on the floor--mice and roaches.
This isn't new or novel but simply a return to practices that have endured for ages.
This is an awesome idea but unfortunately the honor system won't work everywhere. But some locations are better than no locations. Every little bit helps.
I got so much respect how you guys dug a little deeper!! You noticed a problem and you guys fixed it. I admire y'all's methods, plus it's rewarding witnessing how much waste is provented.
More coffee shops should apply this rule
In my country (Italy) take away cups are almost never used (and if you're not a foreigner usually the barista glares at you like "why the rush? What's your problem?" 😂), We use ceramic cups.
This idea is awesome! There are several coffee shops in Portugal that don't have coffee to go, because we are used to drinking an espresso. We drink it quickly, sometimes even standing at the balcon. Now we have coffee shops that want to have coffee to go, because a lot of tourists ask for it, but I will never forget that once I saw a lady wrapping a mug with a latte and giving it to a tourist and asking to later return it 😂 because she did not have any cups. I agree that if we must pay for the cup to go, then some people will prefer just to sit and drink it there
But honestly,what is this to-go coffee culture? It is insane to me we are sooooo damn in hurry all the time that even our morning cup of pleasure must be drunk on the go? That is sooo disgraceful to a coffee...I bought a to go coffee just once in my life but couldn't really enjoy it at all. Also, it was in a plain boring paper cup that fell apart right after using so why the need for plastic? I just don't get it. Is it like fashionable to hurry with a giant plastic cup in the subway and casually sip out of it so everyone would see you are such a busy professional you have to buy your coffee on the go? Not even starting about how much money you could safe if you made yoyr coffee at home.
@@SlecnaLiska Not everyone has 5 minutes to just sit; it has nothing to do with looking like anything. Taking coffee to go is needed because sometimes, you know, you have to take your coffee and....go.
@@Bananabear20 ok thanks for explanation but not much clearer to me though. I guess it is just not up to me to judge. The only thing sad about this except the lack of 5 minutes for self and appreciation of the world around is the tons of plastic in which we will soon sink.
@@SlecnaLiska People want to have a large drink to sip on at the work
I love this…since I’ve retired I’ve got the time to do it. This is great. Just like bring your own bags and jars for dry goods grocery stores
We need more of these stores!
Great work! So smart on the loss aversion. The mug wall and the refill station are awesome.
Unfortunately this leaves people such as my self who are allergic to the faux milks. Good idea though. I like the fact that people can slow down and get their thoughts together before jumping into the fray. In my day everything came in either glass or cans, and groceries where bagged in paper or you brought your own basket. I really loved visiting Europe and the Scandinavian countries. Those places know how to slow down, take time to enjoy life. I never saw a plastic or paper cup. Also I never had problems with acid reflux, until I returned to America, with its chemical laiden foods.
The big difference I heard he they made was “I read a book” and made some changes to our process. If we aren’t growing water dying this is a perfect example of bringing life into your business and community.
LOVE THISSS!! everything about this is goals!!
Now this is an aggressively amazing thing to do this is what people need in America everyone needs to do this thank you for doing this God bless
The mug wall is such a cute idea. And i love that we can choose our cups
We don’t have coffee shops anymore. Starbucks took over and that was the death a true cute little cafe shop. Can’t stand Starbucks and I rarely went before. But after the pandemic I haven’t gone at all! Almost 2 yrs and no Starbucks 😱…Anyway their coffee sticks too! Plus I make way better coffee at home, with my little cheap coffee press and decent coffee beans. RIP cute coffee shops…
In the Tulsa OK area, local coffee shops and coffee trucks are alive and well... :)
I'm in 🗽 I don't drink coffee but this is a awesome idea
I love this! The wall mug makes me want to go there!
Genius! Gives me a little more hope for the future
I am freaking in love with their idea
What an amazing concept! I would totally support a coffee shop like these ones in my town...namaste 🙏
Amazing!!! I bought 4 recyclable mugs. Using them everyday.
How do I start one of these cafes? And what about Dunkin and Starbucks NOT filling your home brought cup right now due to the pandemic? Would a coffee shop be allowed to operate on the coffee mug system?
The only I’m perplexed about, I don’t believe I heard anything about sanitation, Friends :( digging in trash cans & empty used cups in trudging through to get to the good stuff. The floor thing is a cool cute idea if I knew I was walking thru someone slobber from god knows when…so that’s my only issue judging from this quick 4 minute video. But I’m sure these intelligent beens (beings lol) have a (cleaning) solution for that ;) I love this concept & I hope America as a whole begin to adapt to the ”People, Planet Profit”model.
I hope those cups on the floor were just used as an art exhibit for filming. The floor should be mopped daily especially with customers coming in and out, dirty shoes, public bathroom floors ect
@@Luniel11 4sure that make sense
Haven’t left my house without a reusable mug in years. It’s just a force of habit now! In the off chance I forget I just forgo getting coffee. It’s pretty easy.
This is great. I hope to see more shops like this across the country!
Brilliant, wish more companies will follow this model, congratulations.
Amazing initiative. amazing people. Love this!
Thank you so much 🥰💕💟
What makes me sick is that there are some people who are used disposable cups in their human behavior and can’t adapt. My parents end up throwing away my reusable items and I have to use disposable stuff.
She had me an eyebrow Serum 😍
Focus.... Yasss bring your own cup!
The individualisation of responsibility is a passing of the buck from corporations who are actually the leading causes of the problem.
And it won't solve the problem, just give the corporations implied permission to do worse because they passed the cost to the individual
4:20 best worker
I came here to comment this!
☺️
The kitty 😂 for sure probably the best Manager ever!
I love the idea of the trash on the floor! That way, you are really reminded of what it means to buy single use items.
I love the jar or mug wall.
Great idea! Also...maybe have compostable to-go cups so they can throw it in with all those coffee grounds?
"Decorating" the cafe floor with empty cups is such an ingenious idea.
They should put a class cover so it's not hard to walk on and people in wheelchairs can still come inside.
Ya it's so hygienic to take cups out of the trash and put them on the floor of a restaurant. SMH
@@josephallen8044 The floor was already unhygienic, because...you know...floor. Just don't lick your shoes. SMH
The kitty 🐈⬛ gets Employee of the Year! For all the effort they put into every bean! 😂
Nossa is really tasty coffee too. It's some of my favorite local beans, for sure!
A great step by these smaller companies 👍
Brilliant initiative, so inspiring ❤️🌱
even the cups that say 100% compostable are made of plastic? anybody trying to hit up a lawyer to make a lawsuit?
Thank You!!!!!
So happy we have Vytal here in Germany now. I love it. This way i can still enjoy takeout food/coffee while not producing so much trash
The cups on the floor would keep me away, but a mural of them on the wall would be cool.
Wow this is so awesome!! 🙌🏽
I loved coming with my own cup to coffee shops, but now with covid a lot of them stopped doing it, as if the reusable cup is going to start spitting around covid the minute they bring it over to the coffee machine. I hope it comes back some day. But yes, everyone should wake up and stop treating this world like it's disposable
I like the theme. It conveys the message and it’s memorable.
I love this concept! Can more places do this?!
AWESOME BECAUSE THIS IS THE WAY IT SHOULD BE AND YOU CARE WHEN OTHERS ARE JUST ABOUT PROFIT AND NO CONCERN WHATSOEVER! GOLD METAL HONOR IN MY BOOK! Love & Light with abundance! ❤️❤️❤️
Sounds lovely!!
Y’all killin’ it!!!!
Spread this! 😇
Fun! Love love love!
I hope Missoula Montana eventually gets a shop like this
Great idea!
Luckily in my country to go cups are not a thing. Since moving abroad I bought a reusable one.
The grocery stores should start charging for their bags, Inspire ppl to start bringing their own.
Fast food places could do something too for their to-go containers
Love this!
I'm implementing this in my Cat Cafe 😻☕💕🐈🤗
Great idea from England
Omg 😱 come to Florida!
i love this idea 😍😍😍
I love their idea and do practice it altho I usually make my own coffee and in a reusable mug from home but this cafe with the trash on the floor I mean the trash keeps getting trashier when people walk on it and u cant mop it or clean it up and there has to b a smell from that
any idea of green packaging for delivery? i am struggling with this for years.
Where I live we have recycling services for plastic, metal, paper and glass.
Love it !!
I would fly to go to this coffee shop.
What a brilliant idea
Great! My biggest pet peeve is going to a cafe and being served my drink in a disposable cup. Ugh!
Awesome human incentive!
I just make my own coffee, thanks.
I like the idea and agree wholeheartedly, BUT all those dirty cups on the shops floor would keep me from ever going in there.
I live in New York state where you are no longer allowed to use plastic bags at grocery stores or convenience stores for the sake of the environment.
Post covid everything is quadruple wrapped in plastic.... Kind of a two steps forward three steps back situation.
What a drag into an efficient mobile lifestyle. Reusable Cup is great for stagnant routine people as Reusable Cups adds 1-3 lbs into your bag while doing errands... Lopsided shoulders vs the environment?
I happily use washable and reusable cups at home.
Yes!
I always carry my own coffee cup with me I have a stainless steel one and a typical ceramic coffee cup
This is so good
So awesome. I like the ones that just dont have go cups.
I love it.
