How About Coffee On A Stick?

About Coffee[s] Staff

Coffee On A StickDesigner Heo Jeong Im has created a “coffee stick” that is essentially a stir stick, with what looks like a dehydrated coffee solution wrapped around it. The idea is that you stir this coffee stick into hot water and presto, you have a cup of coffee.

The coffee sticks would come in various options including Cappuccino and Americano. When you place the stick in a cup and stir with hot water, a coffee drink is created.

Speakin for myself, as a coffee drinker I like to  avoid the “manufactured” and are more likely to try to get as close to the raw product and direct to the source as possible. I couldn’t see myself replacing my drip brew with a stick.

[ad#google_a]While it does look trendy, this device would be an eco nightmare if mass produced. First of all there is the concern about the waste around natural goods into factory created products. (i.e. bottled water) Secondly, what happens to the stirrer after consumption? Throw it in the garbage? Wouldn’t a reusable spoon do the job better?

The “coffee on a stick” was featured on Yanko design.
