Compared with coffee beans, the silver skins of coffee beans are always unknown. This thin protective layer has unexpectedly become the object of recycling. A Japanese beverage manufacturing company cooperated with a coffee company to make a straw made of coffee silver skin.

As part of the end consumer, we can see coffee, in addition to the liquid, is the coffee cooked beans. Little do you know what coffee has gone through from the fruit on the tree to the process of being squeezed dry, and what kind of waste has been produced. In fact, a lot of coffee silver skins are produced in the coffee roasting process that most people do not have access to. Silver skin, as the last protective film of raw coffee beans, will partially fall off in the process of baking. In the view of some coffee lovers, the silver skin of coffee will affect the flavor of coffee to a great extent. Compared with the coffee beans loved by everyone, the silver skin of coffee can not share a trace of love from coffee lovers.

It is said that coffee grounds can be recycled and become the raw material for all kinds of new utensils. I still remember that Starbucks used the recycled coffee grounds to make a "dregs tube". The emergence of the dregs tube put an end to the rule of paper straws in the beverage world and the pain of drinking paper coffee.

Also from the coffee fruit, the coffee grounds is brilliant in the field of environmental protection, so where is the parchment that falls off during the roasting of coffee beans? After all, the baker also paid for the parchment when he restocked it.

In view of the negative feedback that the wet water of the traditional paper straw is easy to paste and has the smell of paper, Ito Garden and Tully's Coffee cooperate to develop the habit of coffee silver skin blended paper, which is water resistant and does not affect the flavor of the drink. According to Ito Garden, the silver skin produced by 10 grams of coffee beans can produce two straws, and the surface of the straw shows the unique texture of coffee silver skin.

Coffee people's access to happiness is now more than coffee grounds straws and PLA straws, and now silver straws are added. But it's hard to find out which of the coffee grounds straws, PLA straws and silver straws are the happiest channels for coffee people. Because silver straws are only available in Itoyuan stores and some Tully's Coffee stores in Japan. Yes, only in Japan, which means that coffee people outside Japan can't enjoy the happiness of silver straws.

In fact, the use of coffee silver skin is not only used to make straws, but also the existence of silver napkins. Long before Tully's Coffee launched silver straws, Tully's Coffee has been providing customers with eco-friendly napkins containing silver coffee skins since July 2012.

Although, silver straws and silver napkins have not yet been made of 100% silver. However, the addition of coffee silver crust has reduced the use of pulp, which is more or less the first step in environmental protection.

Coffee grounds straws can be easily found on the market, but it is difficult to find them around the silver skin of coffee. Maybe some naive will be able to get to the periphery containing silver coffee skins. Coffee people work hard to explore the surroundings of the whole coffee fruit, and maybe they can really experience the fun of a coffee shop.
