What’s a single-use cup exposed to before the pour? It’s impossible to know. We maintain that a personal vessel empowers you to control what it's exposed to. The Contactless Pour eliminates the touch, eliminates the risk and eliminates the waste.

As COVID-19 spreads and impacts upon our global community, it is understandable that fear and concerns are heightened in these unprecedented times. But like any complex issue we need to look to real solutions/practices that will help protect us now and into the future. Single use items are not one of these solutions. We are aware of the concern within communities regarding reusable vessels and the fact that some are temporarily avoiding them due to COVID-19. This is understandable at first glance but reverting to single use does not reduce the risk of continued spread. Single use items come with disposable convenience, but as we have seen, this perceived convenience easily disguises negative impact. With single use items you never know where they have been or what they have been exposed to. Most are made from porous materials such as plastics that can harbour potentially harmful bacteria, they sit within public areas far longer and importantly, through the supply chain, single use items typically change hands far more frequently than that of reusables. Plastic and single use products are one of the greatest underlying threats to our future, and the world has made huge progress in recent years in making a change for the better. We cannot allow times such as these to detract from the progress we have achieved. We cannot be derailed and revert to poor practices in our lives that fuel current and future global crises. We need to permanently adapt the way we live for the environment, our health and importantly the future generations. Social distancing is an effective measure in flattening the curve of COVID-19, so there has never been a better time to enjoy a coffee in the comfort of your own home. Attention now should be on maintaining the correct hygiene practices. Always clean your hands and retain your lid as there is no reason for your barista or anyone else to touch this. Using your personal drinking vessel empowers you to control its exposure to unhygienic situations. We encourage you to take the time to speak with your local barista about the various actions that can be taken to successfully move through this time of risk and ensure re-use is continued.
