Sustainability at Max
Just doing our bit between brews
We’re not here to greenwash your eyeballs. But we are doing our bit — with less waste, local reuse, and choices that actually make a difference.
Brewing Better, Bit by Bit
We’re into good coffee and better habits.
That’s why we use compostable cups, soft plastics recyclable bags in the supermarket (just rinse and drop at your local collection point), and a sweet local loop that keeps our coffee scraps out of the bin. Chaff goes to a farmer, grounds to a compost wizard, and you? You’re part of it too — one cup, one bag, one better choice at a time.
Waste Not, Roast Not
Roasting coffee makes chaff — the papery skin that flakes off the bean. Most folks don’t think twice about it, but we pass ours on to Tyler, a local legend who folds it back into the soil. It breaks down easy and boosts the good stuff in the ground. Zero waste, better gardens, and one more reason we love small-town coffee loops.
Plant-Based Ecoware
Our takeaway cups are made from plants, not plastic — certified to break down in commercial compost faster than you can say “long black, extra shot.” Made by Ecoware, a Kiwi company that’s climate-positive and actually walking the talk. Still, bringing your own cup is the real flex — we’ll knock 50c off and give you a subtle nod of approval.
The Groundskeeper
After we brew, there’s a mountain of spent coffee grounds. Thankfully, a compost queen named Dianne swings by to collect the lot. She mixes it into her soil blends and boom — your old flat white fuels someone’s future lettuce. Nature’s weird but wonderful.

Less Waste. More Taste.
From the farm to your cup (and then to someone’s compost pile), we’re keeping things tasty and tidy. It’s not perfect — but it’s getting better with every brew. We work with people who care, and we welcome customers who do too. Got ideas? Hit us up. We’re all ears (and beans).
