Every October 1st, International Coffee Day is celebrated<\/strong>a date that invites us to appreciate one of the most widely consumed beverages and a staple of our daily lives. But it can also be an opportunity to ask ourselves a different question: What is the environmental impact of the way we drink our coffee?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we think about its carbon footprint, we might assume it all comes down to the coffee itself. However, the ingredients we add and the amounts we use can also have a significant impact on the emissions associated with a cup of coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Milk Is Also Part of the Footprint.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A simple example helps illustrate this difference. According to the data used by ClearPrint, a coffee with one tablespoon of milk can have a carbon footprint of approximately 96 g CO\u2082e.<\/strong>, while a latte preparado con 400 ml de leche puede llegar a 1.024 g de CO\u2082e<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This shows that a drink\u2019s carbon footprint depends on more than just its main ingredient. The amount of milk and other products we add also contributes to its overall environmental impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, The Type of Milk We Choose Can Make a Difference.<\/strong>In the examples analyzed, cow\u2019s milk has a carbon footprint of approximately 550 g de CO\u2082e<\/strong>, while almond milk generates 180 g CO\u2082e<\/strong> and oat milk has a footprint of around 110 g de CO\u2082e<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Understanding Its Footprint Doesn\u2019t Mean Giving Up Coffee.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Talking about the carbon footprint of food isn\u2019t about making people feel guilty or telling them what they should or shouldn\u2019t consume. The goal is make information visible that we don\u2019t usually see.<\/strong> and understand how our choices can change the environmental impact of what we eat and drink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Small actions, such as using less milk when possible, exploring plant-based alternatives, brewing only as much coffee as we plan to drink, or avoiding ingredient waste, can also make a difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This International Coffee Day, we invite you to enjoy your usual cup while learning more about the environmental story behind it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
