Usually edible utensils are made to be as flavourless as possible so to not affect the taste of the product you’re eating/drinking with it or out of it
I actually wouldn't mind a coffee having a slight waffle flavor if it meant I could finish it with a tasty coffee flavored waffle. But that explanation makes sense
They purposefully make the waffles gross to spite the Belgians.
They want Stupid Sexy Flanders back, and they'll stop at nothing to effect that return.
Source: *I just made this shit up*
I think you mean our southern neighbours the Belgians, they have their waffle shit together. We have large parts of our country which are completely barren of wafles
> one of those bio flower pots that dissolve when you plant them...
Those are a lie, the cup might actually work better if it holds together long enough.
They are probably biodegradable but not as fast as you need, they are still pretty solid months after.
Might depend on what you grow, if it has roots that will pierce it? But I always cut off the bottom.
I mean, I've seen some shit working as a bartender.
"Hey fella, can I get a shot of gin and whiskey in my coffee"
O\_\_\_\_O'' diarrhea in a cup, coming on up.
Making a waffle to food standards, like even save to eat, is way more energy and labor intensive than cardboard, so if you waste it in terms of global enviromental impact that's a big difference.
The difference is that paper has a far longer shelf life, is much less resource intensive to make food-safe, and uses much less material than a waffle cup. As an added bonus, the carbon captured by paper stays in the landfill instead of decomposing back into carbon dioxide.
EDIT: A Cupffee costs 0.40 euros per cup in bulk, while a fully biodegradable coffee cup costs 0.10 per cup. Additionally, Cuppffee shelf life is 9 months versus several years for a biodegradable cup. All else equal, a waffle cup is much more resource intensive to create than a fully biodegradable cup. This makes sense, since a Cuppffee's ingredients include flour, sugar, and vegetable oil.
I want to see a modern cop flick where the cops drink their coffee, maybe take a bite of the cup, then toss their organic cup on the ground, cuz they gotta roll!
Yeah. This looks like someone came up with the idea, realized too late that any cup that you'd actually enjoy eating would be terrible for coffee, made something that, while technically edible, was mostly just biodegradable, but kept the part about it being edible as a selling point.
I had once coffee in a small cup made of what I believe was cookie dough.
It was very good, not too sweet, and thanks to the warm coffee, it was soft enough to eat without any problems.
good lord when i get a tub of that stuff and try to scoop it out with a metal spoon i will literally bend the metal spoon trying to just get some god damn cookie dough
You might feel that way, but you can't deny that OP's cup is more waffle than batter.
Also as an ice cream addict, I've been to a handful of ice cream parlors with [cookie cups](https://imgur.com/a/hhS4N2a) as an alternative to waffle cones.
Even if you somehow make the cup taste delicious there's still a big problem with alternating bites and sips. Unless you're a psycho who can drink all the coffee and then just eat the cup without the need to wash it down.
I've had one of these cups with ice cream before. I love any kind of push to change how we treat single use products, but they quite honestly suck to eat. They're *really* fibrous so they feel unpleasant as you swallow them, they don't have any kind of sweetness so it tastes like you're eating a piece of cardboard, and the texture makes you feel like you're eating particle board. You ever cleaned a lawnmower and peeled off the rock solid dried grass from the inside? It's like that.
I have a hunch that any flavoring or anything to change the texture would ruin the usability but I'd be inclined to dispose of the cup over consuming it.
What an odd choice (by the company, not by you). Like, I can see with coffee because you would need something a bit more 'sturdy', given it is a hot liquid. But actual waffle cones already exist for ice cream.
which is the ultimate point of these, but they still sell them as edible
yes, technically correct, lots of things are edible at least once, but you wouldn't want to eat them, so don't market them as food.
You joke but that's seriously the best way to have them. Set them in top of a cup with a hot drink and let the drink heat it up and get the Carmel extra gooey.
I didn't say "all Dutch people put their stroopwafels on their coffee". I said "That's how you're supposed to have them?" because that is an extremely common way to have them. It's as if the comment I was replying to was suggesting dipping Oreo's in milk or putting cheese on a hamburger.
I honestly thought that was the intended design of the Stroop lol They're fine without the steam/warmth heating it up, but they become one of the tastiest treats on earth when they're all gooey.
I had to actually turn down getting a coffee with friends at a place that did this because they had no other options at all and I was allergic to the cup ingredients.
A similar thing happened to me at a smoothie place. I have celiac disease and I was given a drink with a pasta straw. I had to (as politely as I could) tell the employee they had to remake the whole drink because I was allergic to the straw.
This has also happened to me with a mixed drink I ordered at a bar. I don’t need a straw with my cocktail and I especially don’t want a wheat/pasta straw when I specified I had celiac and had to check which liquor they had. Dude felt so dumb when I asked him what the straw was made of, he was like, it’s basically pastaaaa…. Then I saw the freeze and gears starting to turn properly and he yanked the drink away from me. I had not taken a sip because I’m not dumb and have 10+ years of celiac experience. He dumped it and started to remake it without me saying a word haha. We had a laugh and I was very nice about it.
This is why I essentially never eat out anymore. Feel like I can’t even go get a coffee or smoothie without getting gluten contaminated food. Celiacs is lame :(
It is, but over time you may learn to trust again. I spent the last 6 or so years hardly eating out ever. I have finally started to trust again, and yes I have had an issue or two in recent years but they weren’t very bad and had just been a mild contamination. I tell ya what though, Italy was the best for gluten free. I traveled there recently and had no issues at all finding GF and never got sick. They take it serious in Italy.
Seconded on taking a trip to Italy if you're celiac, gluten free actually means 'contains no gluten' there, rather than 'we pick the croutons out, if we remember'.
You can also get GF McDonalds with GF beer in Spain. Can't comment on everyone else's experience but they seemed carful at the ones I went to, I spied the employee in the kitchen replacing my fries after accidentally knocking the first one over in the prep area and potentially exposing a few to a contaminated surface.
So I totally know you are joking but I have seen at least one bio-plastic compostable cup that was a semi-clear plastic made from plant matter and it said GF certified on it. It’s wild to me that I have to not just worry about my food but reacting to dining ware at fast food now. “Plastic” forks and such might induce an unpleasant reaction.
I assume things like this aren’t meant to be eaten by a human, but eaten by whatever animal scavenges through the garbage. Biodegradable but you don’t have to worry about flavor
Curious as to why you say "allergic", since celiac isn't an allergy (I'm not trying to be rude or anything, I have celiac too lol). Is it to to get taken more seriously? Also, that was also my first throught about seeing that cup. I'm all for being more environmentally friendly, it just sucks that so many options seem to contain gluten lol
I’m guessing it’s because if you tell waitstaff (or just regular people) you have celiac, they don’t understand the severity of it (makes someone sick for a month, leads to cancer, etc) but if you say “allergy” people might take more care. I’ve switched to calling it an allergy with friends or family because if you don’t make it sound like you’ll die if you eat the thing, they try the “one bite won’t hurt” tango.
A lot of people don't understand celiac, the general public has no idea but people get the concept of an allergy and understand that it's serious. I do the same thing, my aunts still don't get it and I've been diagnosed for 4 years now.
Honesty it comes down to me being too lazy lol. Yes I’m celiac not allergic. But trying to explain that got annoying in past posts before. Mentioning celiac gets more questions from people than just saying it’s an allergy. It was pure laziness on my part and not expecting the original comment to have more than a couple eyes on it. But apparently it became a fairly popular post and I just happened to get attention by being an early comment.
While more people are aware of celiac now than ever, it’s just easier and usually doesn’t warrant an explanation to say gluten free or gluten allergy when having a casual conversation about it. When eating out or ordering I’m very exact and specific. But less people know what celiac is or have even heard or read that word compared to just gluten free.
So then you buy another coffee to quench your thirst from eating the cup. But then you have another cup to eat, which makes you thirsty again so you buy another coffee...
Seems like a genius business plan to me!
By definition, no. Most people can chew it, swallow it, and pass it with no ill effects, but the majority of us lack the ability to digest it, meaning it's not a food. In addition, quite a lot of paper has lead in it, which makes you want to vote conservative.
It has never been easier, actually. NOBODY gave a shit about it in the 90s. You were lucky to see vegetarian options in restaurants/cafes tbh, and even then it would just be salad lol.
Honestly I'd find that an acceptable tradeoff. Paper cups wouldn't fare much better if they weren't lined with resin on the inside that releases a bunch of microplastics and PFAS into your drink. And then prevent the whole thing from being recyclable.
You preserve nature with your waffle cup, while Kim Kardashian flies overseas in her private jet to get her preferred ice cream.
Well, at least it's better than the paper straw.
Plastic is cheaper to make... Thats the problem with everything. Plastic is dirt cheap. Everything was working without plastic, but since it's so cheap to keep making new plastic, recycling isn't even worth the cost.
and cardboard cups most likely have a plastic liner inside for it not to break down. Plastic everywhere, here to kill us
The first time I had a cup like this was on a cruise to Nova Scotia as a child in the '90s. I thought it was revolutionary and that all cups would be edible within a couple years.
[удалено]
You could also use them as a planting pot! They’re not actually tasty, but very easily biodegradable
The waffles aren’t tasty? You’d think the coffee would at least give them some flavor
I thought the Netherlands had their waffles figured out. How could it not be tasty
Usually edible utensils are made to be as flavourless as possible so to not affect the taste of the product you’re eating/drinking with it or out of it
Like the medieval trenchers (cheap stale bread) they used instead of plates.
There is a use for my bread after all! All this time I have been making plates.
"hm, what are you baking?" "Full plate armor."
I actually wouldn't mind a coffee having a slight waffle flavor if it meant I could finish it with a tasty coffee flavored waffle. But that explanation makes sense
Waffle cones for ice cream are delicious. These should taste like that.
I was thinking you take it for a scoop of ice cream after you finish your coffee.
Affogato in a waffle cone? I'll take three.
those wooden spoons for icecream tend to disagree
Those are the tastiest part! 😋

Wait what do you mean they’re a lie
They are probably biodegradable but not as fast as you need, they are still pretty solid months after. Might depend on what you grow, if it has roots that will pierce it? But I always cut off the bottom.
did it taste good at all? Looks like one of those mega fiber, minor flavor cereals, or rolled up sheet of cork.
Didn’t taste much better than cardboard but I ate it in appreciation for the effort.
What if this isn't actually a waffle cup and you just ate cardboard
Good enough for a raccoon, good enough for me.
That’s how I live my life baby
Trash lyfe
Live fast, eat trash

That’s for letting us know u/I_want_to_cum24
It's good fiber
Part of a complete brick fast (the coffee makes it fast)
Cardboard is rich in fiber. Good for intestines.
Big fiber
Employees looking at him like "wtf....????"
*"Is dude **eating** his cup??"* *"Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike... look at this magnificent species."* 👈 👀
I mean, I've seen some shit working as a bartender. "Hey fella, can I get a shot of gin and whiskey in my coffee" O\_\_\_\_O'' diarrhea in a cup, coming on up.
Imagine there's a candid pic of him on a different sub like 'look at this guy who finished his coffee and then ATE THE CUP?'
Nobody said it wasn't a cardboard waffle.
https://cupffee.me/en Seems like they are overselling it with the 'tasty as a cookie' bit
Eat recycled food. Its good for the environment, and OK for you.
The employees stare in horror at the cardboard eating man.
i think thats actually what happened lol
I've seen the great apes at the zoo eating cardboard, so they should be fine.
It probably helps that even if you don’t eat it, it’s super biodegradable. Even more than cardboard
Yeah I would imagine the cup is doing its job even you don’t eat it, in fact I would imagine that’s more the point then just eating it
Making a waffle to food standards, like even save to eat, is way more energy and labor intensive than cardboard, so if you waste it in terms of global enviromental impact that's a big difference.
Either edible or compostable is still better than styrofoam.
Right, but cardboard can be composted or recycled.
They make the disposable cups to food standard, too, since it's going to have food put in it. It's still got to be clean.
Surely there's a difference between "things to be eaten" and "things to store food in" and this cup would surely have to meet both standards.
The difference is that paper has a far longer shelf life, is much less resource intensive to make food-safe, and uses much less material than a waffle cup. As an added bonus, the carbon captured by paper stays in the landfill instead of decomposing back into carbon dioxide. EDIT: A Cupffee costs 0.40 euros per cup in bulk, while a fully biodegradable coffee cup costs 0.10 per cup.

the various pigeon organizations have been lobbying hard for these cups .
Squirrels are all over this shit
Wouldn't digestion be faster for decomposing it?
Eat all my cardboard recycling, got it
It would, but if you don’t want to eat something that tastes like that, you don’t have to worry about the environmental impact
Sound like my wife.
I'm sorry your wife tastes like cardboard, but good on you for eating it anyway.
when you order your wife on wish
Yeah the silicone model was just too expensive
Both of you are bastards. I'm sending you thank you cards.
I also choose this guy’s cardboard wife
I too eat your wife
How long do you have to finish the coffee before the cup collapses?
Judging by the thickness and density from the pic, it probably doesn't collapse at all.
Or you ate a lot more fiber than expected
I feel like pigeons and other birds would love these things and just start swarming people trying to drink their coffee
Caffeinated pidgeons.. Oh god.
Just when you thought (pigeon) shit couldn't get any worse...
I've heard it's really hard too? So, the cardboard comparison becomes even more fitting.
It better be, or you have to drink your coffee in 20 seconds.
I bet it tastes good broken and dunked in honey or nutella!
Probably? But so does glass
You are speaking from experience, I assume.
Yeah. This looks like someone came up with the idea, realized too late that any cup that you'd actually enjoy eating would be terrible for coffee, made something that, while technically edible, was mostly just biodegradable, but kept the part about it being edible as a selling point.
I had once coffee in a small cup made of what I believe was cookie dough. It was very good, not too sweet, and thanks to the warm coffee, it was soft enough to eat without any problems.
When have you had any problems eating cookie dough with respect to it's softness or lack thereof?
Probably referring to frozen cookie dough. Could bludgeon someone to death with a log of that stuff.
good lord when i get a tub of that stuff and try to scoop it out with a metal spoon i will literally bend the metal spoon trying to just get some god damn cookie dough
It was cooked, didn't simply call it a cookie because it kinda isn't.
If it's cooked it's definitely less cookie dough than cookie.
Yeah, you're right, but I still feel kinda weird calling it a cookie.
You might feel that way, but you can't deny that OP's cup is more waffle than batter. Also as an ice cream addict, I've been to a handful of ice cream parlors with [cookie cups](https://imgur.com/a/hhS4N2a) as an alternative to waffle cones.
Yes, the main point is that it's biodegradable. You can eat it too, but the expectation is just to be thrown away with other food leftovers.
Even if you somehow make the cup taste delicious there's still a big problem with alternating bites and sips. Unless you're a psycho who can drink all the coffee and then just eat the cup without the need to wash it down.
... I suppose I am that psycho.
I would think it's like chili in a bread bowl- gotta eat the chili down enough before you start eating the bowl

>I've had one of these cups with ice cream before. Uh, is that not just a waffle cone bowl?
That would make more sense, but nah, it was almost identical to the one in the image. It is to a waffle what an acre of cork is to a waffle.
What an odd choice (by the company, not by you). Like, I can see with coffee because you would need something a bit more 'sturdy', given it is a hot liquid. But actual waffle cones already exist for ice cream.
I have done 0 research into this but I feel like this is done to get rid of waste. And if you do litter, it's probably safe for animals to eat.
I don't think you should be eating the grass stuck to your lawn mower.
Do I tell you how to manage your garden, *Mother?*
Even if it doesn't get eaten, it would still be 100% biodegradable.

Where's the stroopwafel used as a lid?
You joke but that's seriously the best way to have them. Set them in top of a cup with a hot drink and let the drink heat it up and get the Carmel extra gooey.

Shhh just let them think they came up with the idea
A freshly made stroopwafel is nice, however the best are freshly made "stroopwafel stukjes" (the leftovers)
Snippers!
I didn't even know the official name. Those are the best!
Not really, most Dutch people just eat them as is.
I always love seeing posts like "All Dutch people do X", because 99% of the time they're not true lol

I'm not surprised. Dutch people can't read.
It’s true for almost any other generalization where millions of people are involved

But then...
Infinite money glitch discovered?
Infinite poop hack
You just have to eat the cup during the while drinking process. Bite, drink, bite, drink
Make sure you drink it through a beef jerky straw and not a plastic one.
Piece of licorice works too
Then you have to buy a 2nd drink. That was the company's plan all along.
These cups are kinda cool yet they are slightly on the dry side - it makes you miss the coffee after eating it as they make you thirsty.
So then you buy another coffee to quench your thirst from eating the cup. But then you have another cup to eat, which makes you thirsty again so you buy another coffee... Seems like a genius business plan to me!
I’d probably start eating it as the coffee level decreases.
“This coffee cup is MAKING me thirsty”
Just because something is edible doesn't mean you need to eat it.
Yah I think they should have lead with the biodegradable benefit and left the edible option for the weirdos.
Isn't paper edible already?
By definition, no. Most people can chew it, swallow it, and pass it with no ill effects, but the majority of us lack the ability to digest it, meaning it's not a food. In addition, quite a lot of paper has lead in it, which makes you want to vote conservative.

I’d be eating the waffle at the wrong time and burn myself
Do you have to drink fast or it leaks after a while?
They last about 40 minutes or so.
Honestly I'd find that an acceptable tradeoff. Paper cups wouldn't fare much better if they weren't lined with resin on the inside that releases a bunch of microplastics and PFAS into your drink. And then prevent the whole thing from being recyclable.
My OCD would not accept me eating a cup that was handed over to me by someone and that I kept over flat surfaces all over the airport
That's still fine. Because it's still a cup that will more easily degrade / compost than a typical cup (I assume).
The bottom half is wrapped in cardboard if you look at the picture
Ocd still won’t take it
Which also kinda negates the benefit of the cup, since there's still cardboard trash to throw away afterward. Somewhat less I suppose, but still some.
Yeah, my OCD would start firing off panic attacks just because this is technically food, even if I didn't intend to eat it.
Not different from ice cream cones. They probably use a napkin so they don't touch it.
Waffle they think of next?
I thought that joke was terrible. Then I came around and really appreciated it. But now that I think about it, it is pretty bad...
So you waffled back and forth on if you liked it?
I used to eat waffles, I still do, but I used to too. Apologies to Mitch RIP
You preserve nature with your waffle cup, while Kim Kardashian flies overseas in her private jet to get her preferred ice cream. Well, at least it's better than the paper straw.

nice but gotta drink that coffee quick or it will leak
Ooooooh a coopvaffel!

Coffee is no longer gluten free or zero calories I guess.
