Small gestures can have a bigger impact that what you think. Multiplied by millions of coffee drinkers, every cup (or travel mug) becomes an opportunity to help make a difference.

TIP 1: A SMARTER WAY TO TAKEAWAY

Reduce waste and save money by filing a resuable travel mug with your favorite NESCAFÉ® coffee before you leave the house. Treat yourself to a coffee break on the move!

TIP 2: BREW WITHOUT BOILING

The best temperature for NESCAFÉ® is hot, not boiling and we recommend ~80 ºC. It makes for better flavour and uses less energy. Did you know boiling a whole kettle three times a day uses approximately 110kWh of electricity a year?

By heating water to just 80ºC each time, you could save 22kWh each year, enough to power a 50” LED TV for 1,375 hours! Next time you heat water, take it off the boil just as the bubbles appear. It makes a better cup and helps reduce impact on the environment.

TIP 3: A BETTER TOMORROW IS IN YOUR HANDS

It might take a small extra step, but recycling can makes a difference. Did you know that your NESCAFÉ® Blend 43 and NESCAFÉ® Gold glass jars and caps are recyclable?


So, when it comes to recycling, a little really can go a long way. Please check the instructions on each pack for the best ways to recycle your favourite NESCAFÉ® products.
