Re: Paper cups, I hate em.
Yesterday my friend and I got coffee(terrible coffee from the only cafe where I live) ANYWAY...to cut a long story short....She ordered hers in a takeaway cup "to look cool".....ahahaha I laughed as we were eating in anyway but she likes the look of walking down the street with a papercup of coffee.....NOT classy at all in my op, and bad bad coffee taste!

Jon - I think I might have had a cup of that at a cafe in Brisbane Airport.

Re: Paper cups, I hate em.
Talking of paper cups reminds me of a song about a cowboy in a road house playing pool and chewing tobacco, no spittoons were provided so he was spitting into a paper cup (if ya dont spit ya die) one of his mates mistook the paper cup on the table for his own drink and, you guessed it, took a big gulp, now wouldnt that spoil your day?
:P

Re: Paper cups, I hate em.
Where I live we have few good cafes so I was pleased to see the opening of a Zarraffas shop, as I have had good coffee there in Brisbane. On my first visit I stood waiting to order and noticed that all the drink-in coffees seemed to be being served in cardboard. When I ordered I just asked for my coffee in a ceramic cup and it was forthcoming.
If they had said "no" I would have walked out.

Re: Paper cups, I hate em.
Thats just insaneOriginally posted by 6A454F522B0 link=1284028704/9#9 date=128404050650 cups a day needs a 1000 litre grease trap
I have been using the Biocups commercially and while there is a slight taint to the coffee they are better than others. Also straight in the same bin as the grounds and off to the composters
I still do espressos in ceramic even as a takeaway setup and the customers dont mind hanging around to drink them 8-)

WhatWhat type of paper cup, Jon?Originally posted by 704C455D48290 link=1284028704/0#0 date=1284028704One of my pet hates, cafes that have replaced ceramic cups with foam or paper, I dislike drinking from em with a passion.
If its the cheap and nasty stuff, id agree, but the triple-wall ridged cups are pretty damn good and i have no problem drinking from them.
Mind you, if i, like you, were offered one when eating in, if you will, id walk straight out.

Re: Paper cups, I hate em.
Also in some places due to the drought cups, glasses were banned to save water from washing them. In Goulburn the Pubs and clubs were forced to serve tap / draught beers in disposable plastic glasses to save water as they were almost out of water at one stage.

Re: Paper cups, I hate em.
This is what is now being forced upon us here. There is a monthly fee for the so called "collection" of what is in the trap and that is about 500 dollars. Then there is the regular monthly council fees. In actual fact, wed be better off installing our own septic system and not pumping into the council one at all.Originally posted by 5E717B661F0 link=1284028704/9#9 date=1284040506In South Australia (where I assume Jon was given a paper cup) SA Water have a new policy that any new cafe using more than 50 cups a day needs a 1000 litre grease trap.... at a cost of $16,000+ to install.
Worse case scenario is additional extensive plumbing work to get it in the ground and connected to the existing setup which could add an additional $30,000
**shudder**
It is ridiculous from the point of view that our so called "trade waste" is more biodegradable than most households, most of whom are happily pouring "anti bacterial" products down their sinks etc. (will someone please get onto stopping that practice!?) In our workplace, it is food scraps and soap, which I thought were biodegradable, going down the sink and even then we manage that as well. (ie scraping plates etc into the bin)
I would also like to point out that our council sewerage system has a huge run off where the excess water just goes into a swamp and sits there...evaporating off into the sky in the hotter months...a group from the community tried a couple of years ago to convince council to harvest the thousands of megalitres of water to be used to grow crops and benefit the local school communities but no...council wasnt interested. See, it really is easier to get money than spend it in govt land... :
Mike, if you turn up at my coffee machine at 5 to 5pm...chances will be high youll be leaving, as I will only serve a coffee in a takeaway then as at 5pm were shutting and Im not hanging around to watch you drink your coffee...Sorry.
(seeing as I only get paid to work till 5pm, not 10 or 15 after...) (losing one customer at 5pm after a big day is no big deal either...ask what the care factor would be if you like... ;D)

Re: Paper cups, I hate em.
If its the same there as it is around here Trade Waste is measured by how much water is consumed. Not how much is poured down the trap as there is no meter on the trap, only on the incoming water line. There are two charges for water. Water used, and a sewage charge for cleaning the used water. However much clean water you used is what you get billed for for sewage treatment. Ergo if you wash your cups you get double billed for that water. And all this is on top of any grease trap requirement as explained by Andy!
Around here they now also charge you for the rain that runs off your property! Yup! Its yet another fee on the water bill and is used for storm sewer (ie Street runoff sewers) manintenance. All so the politicians can say they didnt raise taxes. "Oh no! Thats not a new tax. Thats a fee!" And the difference is?!?!
Java "Dont ya love politicians?!" phile

Re: Paper cups, I hate em.
Hi all
Drinking espresso from a paper cup - no thanks.
In some places this can happen in the late afternoon when the "washer uppers" have gone and they are soon to close - they dont want to use the ceramic cups. If I dont see any ceramic cups I ask. If they reply that they only have paper I politely explain that an espresso cant be enjoyed from a paper cup and I leave. They lose the sale of my espresso and the cake that I would have bought too :-)
Oh there is one worst thing - espresso in a large paper takeaway container :-)
Mike
