About this deal

In 2015, UK branches of the fast-food chain KFC ran a promotion stunt to celebrate their collaboration with coffee company, Seattle’s Best. The promotion featured edible wafer and white chocolate coffee cups enveloped in sugar paper sleeves branded with the Colonel’s logo. But whereas finding sustainable plastic, paper or some other bizarre new material is the primary goal of most companies, when it comes to single-use cups, we already have an answer.

And we’re sorry to disappoint you, but if you’re excited about the prospect of enjoying a cup-shaped biccy anytime soon – don’t get your hopes up. Good-Edi custom made machinery used for pressing and baking the dough balls into edible cups. BloombergThe start-up’s sales pitch is primarily about sustainability, and Good-Edi says its offering is better for the environment than a plastic-lined paper cup even if it isn’t eaten. Cupffee is designed for cold or hot drinks and can withstand temperatures of up to 85˚C. “The cup remains crunchy for 40 minutes and does not leak for 12 hours,” ​Zapryanov told FoodNavigator. “The Cupffee cups don’t alter the taste of the beverage – the taste is natural,” ​he added. Ultimately, companies and coffee chains are likely just worried about whether consumers would ever actually catch on to the idea of a biscuit cup.

Our official line is that it’ll stay crispy until after you finish your coffee. The cup won’t break with the coffee. We always test our cups with boiling water, [so it won’t] spill the coffee all over your desk or anything. Basically, you can have water in there for 24 hours and it won’t break or split. It might be a bit flexible and you might be able to push the sides in a bit, but the cup won’t actually break. So it lasts for quite a long time. “It all kind of started as a throwaway comment” (Photo: Supplied) This takes a sort of bag-for-life approach to takeaway coffee, where customers can simply hand their personal mug over to a barista and have it filled to the brim without having to worry about waste products after! The cups were also infused with the smells of ‘freshly cut grass’, ‘coconut sun cream’, and ‘wildflowers’. Those values often conflict with convenience, which drives much of the food and beverage trends so crucial to profits for major fast-food brands.The BioPBS™-lined cup was funded by a consortium that also includes KFC, Pizza Hut, Coca Cola and Nestle, and was discovered after the consortium hosted a NextGen Cup Challenge initiative to find inventors and industry experts with fully biodegradable cup designs. Given the amount of disposable coffee cups used each year and the length of time each cup requires to decompose – for example coffee cups containing polyethylene can take around 30 years to fully decompose – a solution to this problem is urgently needed if we are to continue to enjoy our morning beverage (and for some of us, continue to function like a normal human being!). We anticipate developments in the structure and manufacturing of coffee cups, as well as their recycling, in 2022 as the problem only becomes more pressing. Biodegradable plastics An app on your phone reminds you if you’ve forgotten to return a cup, and if you fail to do so you are charged, in a similar vein to city bike rental services.

You launched Twiice just a few weeks ago, but you first started working on the idea four years ago. What happened in those years to make that idea into a reality? Disposable single-use coffee cups are bad news for the environment. Predominantly made from two materials – a paper layer and a polyethylene layer for water and heat resistance –which are difficult to separate, disposable coffee cups are considered unrecyclable. Simply put, they just don’t have the manpower to provide the millions of cups needed to suit Air New Zealand’s demand. Good-Edi’s product works for both for hot drinks such as coffee and tea as well as cold drinks. After about 250 recipe adjustments, the founders settled on a blend of rye flour, wheat bran, oat bran, sugar, salt, coconut oil and water. They say their container stays crispy holding a cup of hot coffee for about 40 minutes and won’t leak a cold beverage for about eight hours.The main goal of the EIC grant is to further the technological innovations and business improvements at Cupffee, to propel the company towards ‘gobal leadership’ in the production and sales of edible cups and stirrers. The cup can last for up to 8 hours. They won’t break down easily or leak, even with the hot liquid. They are designed to hold their form.
