I'm confused.

Just had an email offering me a chance to try their new 'plant blend' coffee for free.

Now I drink a lot of coffee. Always have done. For years.

As far as I've always been aware coffee comes from beans grown on...yep....plants.

Isn't all coffee 'plant based'?

What kind of coffeefuckery is going on here?

Do they mean it comes with vegan milk? That's the only explanation I can think of.

Costa has launched its new plant-based 'Ultimate Blend' milk.

Probably mean that. But coffee should be black.

As they say 'once you go black, there's not need for milk in your coffee any longer'

Thanks.

The email actually makes no reference to 'milk' at all.

Plant based milk alternatives have been around for years though. Costa has used soya for fuck knows how long.

Obviously whoever created this marketing campaign hadn't d*unk enough coffee the morning they came up with the idea.

Enjoy it while it lasts - it's predicted that coffee (and chocolate) will be pretty much impossible to obtain due to a massive decrease in production in the coming years.

Climate change, soil quality, bees unable to pollenate plants and the fact that almost all chocolate and coffee is produced within volatile temperature regions means both plant will become extinct soon.

By 2050 its predicted you won't be able to get chocolate at all. And by 2080 coffee will be a thing of the past.

I'm sure by 2050 and 2080, scientists will have come up with a way to create both in a lab lol. That is if there is such a demand that can't be solved through natural processes.

I'll likely be dead by then.

No amount of coffee would wake me.

Best carry on consuming coffee and chocolate at the rate I do now I guess. No point in rationing it to preserve availability for the future. Sod the kids of tomorrow.

Thus damaging the planet even further and exacerbating the problems aforementioned. So, no, that's likely a dreadful idea.

Yeah, the kids of tomorrow won't be able to get the coffee or chocolate inside their breathing apparatus anyway.

Indeed. Caffé Nero™ for the usual high street identikit; independents to support the, er, independents and artisan sole traders.

The new soya and oat milk they use is fucking vile. It's made by Coca-Cola and has artificial sweeteners in that taste of absolutely shite. Costa is now off limits for coffee for this lactose intolerant person. It's annoying, because Costa is pretty much guaranteed to be wheelchair accessible, unlike Papa Joe's Independent Coffee House, which is more likely to be up 8 steps with no lift

sounds mad to me.

I've never bought into to the whole coffee shop culture.

Put the kettle on, shove a spoon full of granules from out of the jar into the mug, add a splash of green top milk, and I'm a happy bunny.

You can keep your posh cups of over priced spicy cappuchino latte or whatever.

Never heard of anything so obviously daft in all my days.

Kinda but didn't they just germinate a plant that’ a been extinct for thousands of years? They kept finding seeds in excavation sites and someone decided to try and it worked, I can’t remember what it is but it’s growing

If they can bring that back I’m sure we can do the same too
