On Friday 20 September we launched the new coffee counter in Pitstop, taking the place of Costa. The newly-branded Pitstop Coffee stocks a blend of coffee chosen by you, via a taste-testing exercise to choose our customers\u2019 favourite flavour.<\/p>\n

Available exclusively in Pitstop Coffee, The Exchange is a new sustainability concept designed to encourage the use of reusable cups instead of disposable single-use alternatives.<\/p>\n

A one-off payment of just \u00a32 buys you a reusable coffee cup, which can be swapped for a clean one at Pitstop Coffee whenever you need it, ideal for grabbing coffee on-the-go. All Exchange cups returned to Pitstop Coffee will be cleaned, ready for another use.<\/p>\n

You can also trade your Exchange cup for a token, should you not want to carry a travel cup around, and then simply trade the token back for a clean cup at your next visit to Pitstop Coffee.<\/p>\n

The Exchange process has been designed with both sustainability and convenience in mind, making it as easy as possible for students, staff and campus visitors to opt for more environmentally-friendly takeaway coffee options.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We\u2019re always looking for new ways to offer more sustainable solutions across our food and drink outlets. Since not all single-use takeaway cups get recycled, this scheme is more sustainable than simply recycling, and is designed to help reduce the amount of waste we send to landfill.<\/p>\n

The pricing in Pitstop Coffee also reflects our support of more sustainable initiatives \u2013 Pitstop Coffee prices automatically include the campus-wide 20p discount for bringing your own cup, whereas single-use takeaway cups will be charged at 30p to discourage their use.<\/p>\n

In support of our Leave No Trace loyalty scheme, you can collect a Leave No Trace stamp with every purchase when you use your Exchange Cup; collect nine stamps and you\u2019ll get \u00a32 off your next hot drink. Last year 16% of students and staff bought a reusable cup - let's increase those numbers this year!<\/p>\n

As well as being kinder on the planet than a takeaway cup, using The Exchange guarantees you a clean reusable cup, and a saving of 30p, every time you buy a coffee from Pitstop \u2013 it\u2019s a no-brainer!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
