The Cafe Concept

From the smallest detail of disposables up until saving energy to run the cafe, the goal is to maximize everything, and to be zerowaste - less wasteful.

Starting from the materials used to build the cafe, I’d look for recycled wood and stone (p 96 of Standart 24 as reference)

To go or take out is discouraged but will be available for a fee, unless personal containers are provided. Disposables will be made out of materials that degrade so quickly. We will find partners to supply these products.

Used beans will be dried and bagged to display for those who may want to use it for gardening. Grounds may be distributed to gardens too!

For the espresso machine, Victoria Arduino’s technology in saving water is my most preferred brand.

The feel and theme of the shop is like a patio with indoor and outdoor seats, surrounded by plants. Mist fans to keep people cool. Has this terrace feel. Sunroofs to save energy for light.

Anything biodegradable in the kitchen can be used to form a liquid to use as fertilizer for the plants.

Paperless transactions. Receipts are emailed.

I’m thinking of hiring an environmentalist to join my team.

There will be a small temperature controlled place beside the shop for roasting and cupping classes.
