    I've found some i like the look of - ok i didn't look very hard, it's just some from the company that supply my ripple cups, not sure what the prices are like! They're branded "INGEO", but i'm getting mixed up with the PE / PLA coating descriptions. They all appear to have some coating, but some...

    Nobody have any inside information on this? I've read a bit on the web but the topic can be quite confusing! I take the information published on commerical sites with a pinch of salt for obvious reasons (they're trying to sell me something!)

    I was looking at the PLA coated and biodegradable cups, i'd like to know if the science behind them really stacks up. I know a lot of the time it's as much about being seen to be green as much as offering any actual tangible credentials. Basically, if i'm paying for the benefit of saving the...

    Hi Guys, What do you all think to the fancy new biodegradable paper cups that are appearing? I've taken a look at some and they feel quite thick and substantial, are they really worth the additional outlay though? There is quite a price difference, but i like the idea of being a little more "green"

    I wonder what the cost would be on getting printed sleeves instead - these must be far easier to produce? You could then just use plain white cups with them. might be a cheaper solution?
  6. Coffee Business Owner Support Forum
    That's a handy option to have - i never knew companies would do this for such tiny print runs. Great for promo companies, probably a bit on the pricey side for smaller coffee vendors though. Would be interested to hear feedback from anyone that used this service? 8 times the price of regular...

    Did anything ever come of this? I've heard various related news stories but i wasn't sure if it ever went ahead. Sorry for the old thread bump - just interested!

    Thanks, i'll give them a try. I can see their point of view too though, most of these cups are imported and it must be a lot of work to set up a custom print job. Shame though, a real gap in the market!

    This is the best i managed to find: http://innsupplies.com/disposable/paper-cups. I gave them a call, and as the note suggests, you need to take a large quantity to set up the print. Fine if you're an established coffee shop, but if you need takeaway cups for a new venture it's a bit hard to...

    I've looked into this too, there seems to be a real gap in the market for small product runs of printed paper cups. I made a few enquiries but drew a bit of a blank to be honest. The nearest i found was a supplier willing to do a custom print for 50,000 units - however this was more than i could...

    i agree with you guys personally - i think it's a bit of a trend though for larger servings, something we've got for our American friends? As i'm sure you're aware they love their big portions! I dare say they sell fewer 8oz takeaway coffees over there
  12. Coffee Business Owner Support Forum
    Hi Guys, Just popping in to say hello . I've stuck with the smaller 8 and 10oz site of paper cup for now, but i've noticed a trend with people asking for larger servings. I've been asked several times for a 20oz / jumbo / pint of Coffee?! Do people really drink such massive quantities? I'd...
  13. Coffee Business Owner Support Forum
    10oz seems quite a nice size, i tend to agree with you Glenn. I've tried a few different lids to see what works best, there are a few different types. I like a nice secure lid that's not going to come off, but i've found some "secure" lids that are so secure you can't pop them off to pot sugar...
  14. Coffee Business Owner Support Forum
    This was my thought to be quite honest, it seems like a large volume of coffee to serve. In addition, even in one of the fancy insulated ripple paper cups that i've got, the drink isn't going to be anywhere near as hot by the time you get to the bottom!

    No opinions on the 16oz paper cups?
  16. Coffee Business Owner Support Forum
    What are peoples opinions on stocking a 16oz cup size too? I've been asked for a large serving a few times, but it just seems like an awful lot of Coffee! 16oz is knocking on for a pint surely?! Do people think this would be worth while at all?
  17. Coffee Business Owner Support Forum
    Double cupping! I didn't actually think of that. I guess it saves having to stock another product line especially for hotter drinks. Think i may give the cafe mocha 10oz cups a try and see how i get on with them.
  18. Coffee Business Owner Support Forum
    Hi guys, sorry - i've not disappeared, just been rather busy making coffee! I've been using a coffee machine loaned from a friend in the trade, and i've actually catered 2 events now. One of which was a bit of a wash out, but the other seemed to go well. I think i'd like to use a larger size...
  19. Coffee Business Owner Support Forum
    That sounds like a nightmare! Funny you should mention this as i've heard similar stories of Vaiopak before. Perhaps one to avoid? How long do you think you will be without cups for?
  20. Coffee Business Owner Support Forum
    Good advice thanks - i've made a note of your offer on the machines. The price compares well to the other machines i've been looking into. The machine choice is proving far more complex than i first thought. We will actually be operating in a hard-water area, at least i assume it is by the state...
