But will the French like it? More on coffee
Was excited to see a neat little bit of news about innovation in the coffee world in Darren Barefoot’s blog the other day – it’s the SmartCup Xpress Lid. You order coffee and get a disposable/recyclable lid, rod and press – ta-da – single-use french press coffee where ever you are. 
Darren says the cups were given out at the recent Gnomedex technology conference. There’s a great example of a company hitting their target market head-on – perpetual caffeine-seekers who love new gizmos.
Would you try it? I sure would.

wait! are we seriously still innovating things for coffee cups that are disposable?
the cool people are going to be the ones who come up with a new gizmo that is cool AND not perpetuating massive amounts of GARBAGE for our future generations to deal with.
You make an excellent point, Kate. I was glad to see these lids are at least recyclable.
I guess they’re being ironic, but have you seen the reusable cups that look like they’re disposable? Strange but true.
