Peoples Coffee Presents: The KeepCup

Blog Post 24 November 2009

Posted by Shaun K Anderson

If one were to stroll into one of the Peoples Coffee espresso bars today, one would find (drum roll please)…..The KeepCup. After searching high and low, blood sweat and tears, and the gnashing of teeth – it is finally here. Please, hold the applause. Oh OK, Applaud.

What’s the story?

Our love of a great takeaway coffee is costing the environment dearly. While we enjoy the practicality of disposable cups, Re-use is by far the best way of reducing their negative environmental impact.

Why KeepCup?

Over the years we’ve been searching for a ‘perfect’ re-usable takeaway alternative. Great KeepCup features include:

 - Low embodied energy. BPA free. Made in Australia.
 - #5 polypropylene – the safe food grade plastic
 - Dishwasher safe
 - Estimated Lifespan: 4 Years

Disposable Cups saved from Landfill

KeepCups Sold

KG Landfill per annum

10 4 Kg
100
46 Kg
1000
465 Kg

(This assumes customers drinks 8 coffees per week)

Lead the charge from discard to reuse. Pick up your KeepCup now from Peoples Coffee Constable St and Garret St Espresso Bar. Your first KeepCup coffee is on us.

    Totally stoked with my keep cup. Wasn't aware of this product until someone told me about it and then stumbled across them at the Waiheke Fruit and Vege Store (oneroa) on the same day.

    Hi Mark, I now can hardly bring myself to use a paper cup - you should totally try one.
    We can ship to CHCH of course.

    Unfort, we sold out the first 500 before Xmas. Next shipment will be in mid this month. Send an order to: orders@peoplescoffee.co.nz, and we will put one (or some) on back order for you!

    Awesome product and I'm impressed you can brand them too! Our graphic designer is encouraging me to get one. Any chance of shipping to Christchurch?

    Kelly, Yes, yes you do need a KeepCup *waves hand like a jedi master*

    No, if less paper cups are used - everyone wins!

    AWESOME! So much cooler than the one I already have. Now the dilemma... do I really need TWO keepcups?!
