Coffy is a new app that helps coffee lovers find local independent high street coffee shops in London serving the best coffees and hot drinks. It features a detailed view of each store and its amenities. As well as listing which espresso machine, grinder and coffee beans are used, it also lists useful info such as whether the store has free Wi-Fi, is pet friendly, has public toilets and if seating is in or outside. The service works on subscription, with a range of plans starting from only £5 a month, designed to suit every lifestyle. Coffynistas simply redeem the unique coupons at their chosen partner store by showing their phone screen to the barista when ordering. The service is touch-free so no tapping, nor is cash required. Retailers pay no fees to be listed on the app and receive a revenue share on any drinks redeemed with a Coffy coupon. Coffy delivers new customers who get to experience the delicious and exciting wares these cafes, restaurants, delis and gyms offer.
"The Coffy App is excited to work alongside the Sustainable Coffee Challenge to help us all move towards an environmentally and socially sustainable global coffee supply chain. As we build a network of independent coffee shops we strive to work closely with each individual business. We want to ensure the limited use of virgin materials and the coffee that is served has been sourced from companies and farms certified as sustainable and incentivise the improvement of working conditions and wages for farmers."
100% of Coffy partners have a policy in place that describes their company’s strategy to ensure that all coffee beans used in-store have been sourced according to sustainable and ethical practices. A review of these policies is part of the sign-up process and potential partners who do not meet this requirement will not qualify to sign up with Coffy (preferred suppliers and roasters will be suggested to assist each store with this).
100% of Coffy retailers will use plastic free and recyclable takeaway items [i.e. cups, lids, napkins] to reduce the use of virgin materials in store [preferred suppliers will be suggested to assist each store with this].
Coffy will plant 5,000 native trees in Brazil’s South Eastern region where the majority of coffee farms are located to promote off-farm reforestation.
