Recently, when customers went to% Arabica store to buy drinks, they noticed that the cold drinks they bought were packed in hot paper cups.

When seeing the clerk holding cold drinks in paper cups, the customer thought it was a temporary operational error. But only after understanding that today's% Arabica is replacing the original plastic cup with paper cups, using Kraft paper cups for both cold and hot drinks.

Some users pointed out that% Arabica has stopped providing plastic packing cups to stores since last year, and each store naturally uses Kraft paper cups after consuming plastic packing cups. The change was originally thought to be due to the introduction of plastic restrictions in Hong Kong, so that% Arabica had to switch to paper cups for cold drinks.

However, from the feedback on the current social platform, this unique rule of Hong Kong stores also seems to apply to other stores, with many consumers saying that the cold drinks they have ordered are no longer packed in plastic cups.

When the cold drink temperature is lower than the external temperature, a layer of condensed water will appear on the outer wall of the packing cup. This layer of water vapor covers the paper for a long time, even if it is durable Kraft paper, the feel will inevitably change. Therefore, in order to enable consumers to drink cold drinks for a long time and avoid being soaked by condensed water, most beverage stores on the market choose plastic cups to hold cold drinks.

Therefore, when learning that% Arabica intends to popularize paper cups and abolish the use of plastic cups, most consumers do not understand. Many customers say bluntly that after a long time of holding cold drinks, the sense of use of Kraft paper cups is not as good as before, and there will be softening of the cups, which makes people worry about whether the paper cups will not be able to hold up under the "long-term pinch" of condensed water and beverages in the cup. there are leaks in the body of the cup.

In addition, guests who are sensitive to smell are dissatisfied with the taste on the paper cup and think that the paper material will affect the taste of the drink. And the Kraft paper cups will lower the appearance of the colorful cold drinks, which is not suitable for taking pictures, and will also affect the overall look and feel of the drinks, Yan said.

In this regard,% Arabica employees are also deeply troubled. Some people explained that the reason why the headquarters decided to cancel plastic packing cups, on the one hand, may be to reduce the use of plastic cups to achieve the goal of environmental protection, on the other hand, it is hoped that after switching to paper cups, consumers will not consume too much microplastics when drinking drinks.

But in practice, after switching to paper cups, employees are unable to distinguish which drinks are packed by the types of packing cups at the first time, which can only be identified by the labels affixed to the cups, which more or less affect their daily production efficiency.

However, some consumers said that some% of Arabica stores still provide customers with plastic packing cups. Some people say they can understand that% Arabica wants to achieve environmental protection by reducing the use of plastic cups, but more consideration needs to be given to switching cold drinks to paper cups.

They believe that due to the special regulations of some areas, there is something wrong with the brand's comprehensive "one-size-fits-all" approach to offline stores, and that they should consider the user experience and actual needs of most consumers and keep more useful plastic cups to pack cold drinks.
