It says, “Reducing reliance on plastic packaging, ensuring proper recycling is conducted and greater supply chain transparency were cited as the top three initiatives UK coffee shops should widely adopt”. A simple and popular way to tap into the trend for sustainability is to sell bamboo-based reusable coffee cups. Some high street coffee chains are offering discounts for shoppers reusing theirs instead of requiring a standard disposable cup – doing the same could promote loyalty in your establishment. COFFEE MACHINES Shoppers will be coming to an independent expecting great coffee – better than they could purchase at a high street chain. Medium-scale coffee makers will allow you to produce great coffee using your own blends without taking up half the counter space. TABLEWARE The right tableware will not only make your establishment an attractive proposition for diners choosing to eat or drink-in, it will last for years – making it a sound investment.
