Happy New Year!

It has been a huge year for the KeepCup. Find out what we have been up to....

  • we secured the trial at Pret a Manger - outcome yet to be determined.
     
  • we attended Seattle Coffee Fest and the KeepCup was greeted with great enthusiasm.  We look forward to further adventures in the USA in 2011
     
  • closer to home we attended the Golden Bean in Maquarie to help judge the top coffee roaster in Australia.
     
  • upgraded our website and introduced a kaleidascope of new colours to the range
     
  • the Australian office moved to its snazzy new home in Fitzroy.
     
  • attended Taste Auckland in New Zealand where the uptake of the KeepCup and its support by coffee lovers has been amazing.  Thanks New Zealand.
     
  • Simon Lockrey at the Centre for Desig RMIT did an independent Life Cycle Assessment of the KeepCup which confirmed our sustainability credentials.
     
  • We were a finalist in the Premiers Design Awards and the Victorian Export Awards.
     

A BIG thanks to all the bloggers and tweeters out there who have shared their views on the KeepCup and its use.  Your support has been invaluable in getting the KeepCup out there and diverting what must now be hundreds of thousands of diposable cups from landfill.  I still get a shiver of pleasure when I spot a KeepCup in the wild!

We'll update you with what's to come in 2011 in the next few days.
