  • Discounts for reusable cups, selling them etc.

    We offer 20p discount if you bring a cup because that’s about what our printed cups used to cost. The unit price is down now, but we can’t really reduce the discount.

    Why don’t we sell reusable cups on the counter? Firstly because it’s a big capital investment for something which might take ages to shift - cash flow is a twat. Secondly because fuck takeaway cups and fuck reusables too. If you care, change your routine and drink your coffee on the premises on a ceramic cup. Replacing one environmentally disastrous cup with an environmentally disastrous cup you use 20 times before the novelty wears off and you lose it is horseshit.

  • Understood. But people do take their coffee with them and as noted above, whose going to drive that change in behaviour to make drinking coffee less impactful on the environment, since you’re saying from the coffee shop perspective it’s a big financial load to carry..
