Contactless Coffee

Cafes in Ireland offering Contactless Coffee

Contactless Coffee is a safe way to serve customers in their own reusable cup and it enables these customers to support Cafes.

We are delighted to say that the Department of Communication, Climate Action and the Environment along with Professor Luke O'Neill, Immunologist in Trinity College Dublin has endorsed #ContactlessCoffee, in addition we asked for his signature defending the safety of reusables which you will find in this link

Over 125 health experts defend safety of reusables

The Food Safety Authority permits the use of Reusables, it is up to each business to decide on their policy, details from their website can be found here.

Thanks to Cloud Picker Coffee Roasters Dublin for creating this super slick video showing us how it's done!

We ask Cafes to please share the video with their employees to show how simple it is. An easy solution is to use a small tray or simply mark a spot on the counter for customers to put their cup, this visual helps reinforce that the cup stays where it is and no one needs to touch it.

We are collating a list below of cafes in Ireland, that we have researched and been notified of by our conscious cafe community, that are serving a Contactless Coffee. If you are a Cafe that would like to be added to the list please contact us. Likewise, if you know of a Cafe who is accepting your reusable please let us know and we would be delighted to confirm it with them and can add them to the list also.

And here is the simple step by step guide

The customers brings their own clean reusable cup & holds onto their lid
When placing an order they advise they have their own reusable
Customer places cup on a pre-marked spot on a table/tray and steps back
Barista prepares the drink inside the cafe in a reusable cup or jug
If the order is coffee, the barista will keep the coffee shot and milk elements separate
Barista then pours the drink into the cup without any contact with the cup
Barista steps back and customer steps forward taking their coffee away to be enjoyed
