Deals for Days. Big home savings are happening now.
Does it have a bad taste or texture?
Me being an south asian :
🙄
Do your job as a journalist instead of letting that dude spew lies, there's no way that thing is made in 10 seconds. 3D printing takes time, heating and drying clay takes even more time, days even.
I ❤ it I ❤ it I ❤ it Death to Plastic Cups 🥤
OP should change the title to *Desi guy beating Americans in their own game of capitalism*
Kullad ka kabhi naam suna hai.?
Its amazing how far 3d printing has advanced. What a great idea. Cups bowls etc…
This is great, would love to see these become mainstream. Cheaper and more eco-friendly and probably great reuse potential too, for seed starter pots or similar, or to just re-use as cups.
Yes. A contract with Starbucks IMMEDIATELY!
And, yes…
PLEASE bring this to Orlando!
TONS of coffee shops out here!
Brilliant idea
No matter still dont care. What pisses me off is paper straws
not thank you
Great idea! There's much more potential to 3d printing clay than just dishware.
I can see these cups being mass produced and distributed for in-restaurant use but it doesn't seem practical to buy the equipment and supplies to produce the containers on demand.
A more pressing concern is the fact that a large percentage of disposable containers for take out and delivery use lids. How does this solution address that need?
But where does the clay come from and with what energy expenditure?
Awesome! but idk if they can take off–I imagine they're a lot heavier for shipping costs, and the fact that they're brittle and so thin, does that mean if you set it down a tad too hard on the table or in a car that they crack/chip and leak, or even worse shatter? That might simply mean it could be a great sit-down cup at the coffee shop, but not a great to-go cup.
I would like to see them in a coffee shop near me and if I was to ever open one, as I am a home barista, I would use them in my coffee shop. This is due to the city near me needing to hired cleaners to keep the city clean, and that can be from things like coffee cups to other trash. You need to protect the Earth. I would also like for them to sell a machine that can make these for me, or the local coffee shop so that others can make them, themselves.
Here's an idea. Go get a coffee. Sit down and enjoy the experience with a reusable ceramic cup. Then go about your business. This consuming coffee on the run is environmentally irresponsible and culturally abhorrent.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
The Air NZ edible cup from a few years ago was an interesting idea.
What an awesome idea! I’d definitely pay a bit extra if necessary.
😂 This is hilarious.
Dude i want one for my kitchen
Heck yeah! Dirt to dirt! Can they print a clay cup with a built in lid?
It would be great if this were adopted by coffee shops and you were charged a deposit for the original cup and got a discount when you brought your cup back. These seem super reusable.
In India we call them "Kullhad" made from clay and has been using them since forever 😂😂
Yeah this is a great idea, any ideas on how to create a spill proof one? Since most folks take coff to go.
Isn’t my coffee mug already made of clay
YES!
Great idea. Americans can use any bit of help when it comes to increasing the amount of recycling a person does on a daily basis.
Verve is changing the game and we will see how quickly other major coffee companies follow their lead
Ideas stolen from India.
Thanks for the info!! I will definitely be stopping by Verve to try this out. This is awesome!!
If it tastes like dirt , How do you tell what the Starbucks taste like?
…paper is biodegradable as well…
