Find amazing coffee swag to delight any coffee lover in your life! These choices, illustrated using a paintbrush and coffee, were inspired by our values of local economy, friendships and fair trade partnerships with like-minded communities and a quest for sustainable environments. And, of course, delicious coffee.
Shoes made from coffee
A range of sneaker styles made from sustainable recycled coffee, coffee beans and the coffee plant will put a kick in your step. Natural coffee scent included! Nat-2 recently launched its Coffee Line in Germany, which features unisex sneakers made with coffee remains. The brown sneakers are 100 percent vegan, made from recycled coffee beans, coffee plants, and recycled coffee grounds.
Sweetwater Tumbler
Tell the world you support coffee farmers with this tumbler from Sweetwater, a name synonymous with farmers’ rights and economic transparency! This Sweetwater Organic Coffee Stainless Steel 20 oz. tumbler is a snazzy new way to take your coffee on-the-go. With a double wall and a copper vacuum, your cold drinks stay cold and your hot drinks stay hot.
Our bonus December special includes 15% off 2-lb bags of coffee when you buy merch (such as this tumbler).
Cups and mugs made from coffee grounds
Circular economy? Yes please. Another German innovation for the coffee grounds is from a company called Kaffeeform (read our earlier interview with Phillip in Germany whose coffee grounds help make Kaffeeform's cups). They make coffee cups, mugs and saucers out of used coffee grounds. They started back in 2009 after countless espresso and experiments they came up with the prototype. The dishes are durable, light and dishwasher safe.
We admire their innovation, but they currently do not ship to the U.S. so if you wish to purchase, you can send the coffee to any of these countries if you have a friend there, and they can forward the order to you.
