This week get to know the Coffee Cuff, a green innovation that will change the way you sip your latte.
It's a cuff that slips around your to-go cup of joe when you're satisfying a caffeine craving, and an elegant earth-toned bracelet to wear around town when you're not! Innovations like the Coffee Cuffs made by Bentwood are the best kind of Greenventions: they're made eco-friendly, they fulfill a huge demand, they're reusable, they're clever and inventive—and they just plain look sharp. Allow me to slow down a moment and break it down:
Who Doesn?t Drink Coffee?That huge demand I mentioned? Maybe there are a few out there who don't, but for the last decade, our country has fallen into a love affair with sipping lattes, mochas, espressos, etc—and that means millions of coffee drinkers using (and discarding) cardboard coffee sleeves. Which is why...
A Reusable Coffee Cuff is a Green Coffee Cuff
Sure it might be greener to bring your own mug to the coffee shop, but it doesn't exactly make sense to carry one around with you all the time in the off chance that you'll get coffee at some point during the day. And that's the beauty of this coffee cuff—it's charmingly portable, as it looks good as a bracelet until you need its coffee-heat protective services. And using the cuff on a regular basis will cut down on the pointless waste of those cardboard sleeves.
Coffee Cuff's Sustainable Design
The cuff is made from reclaimed architectural veneer offcuts, so no trees are being felled in the name of this java sipping aide.
Jewelry AND Utility
Need I say more? Very clever.
It seems that with the Coffee Cuff, Bentwood joins innovative green companies like Cameron's Coffee and Larry's Beans in fighting the good fight for a more eco-friendly cafe culture. Unless you?re a stalwart fan of brewing your own coffee, the Coffee Cuff should definitely make its way into your green arsenal.
Stay tuned every week for more Greenventions like this one.
