First there were ‘eggspressos’ – an Easter creation by an Australian coffee shop, which saw espresso coffee being served inside hollow chocolate Easter eggs. And now, there are edible coffee cups, which allow cafe goers to have their coffee and, quite literally, eat the cup, too. Made famous recently by the Sydney-based cafe Piccolo Me, this latest food trend sees cookie cups, ice cream cones and cakes be filled with steaming hot coffee. It’s the ultimate decadent foodie treat. At inventive Sydney cafe Piccolo Me, edible coffee cups take the form of Nutella cookie cups. “Drinking my Piccolo Latte out of the new Picookie baked in store Nutella cookie cup topped with crushed M&M peanuts,” one recent post on the cafe’s Instagram page reads. Another picture posted shows the edible coffee cup in takeaway form – neatly tucked inside a non-edible cardboard cup and filled with steaming caffeine. But Piccolo Me isn’t the only cafe to create a coffee cup that is made to be eaten. Instagram is filled with images of coffees served from ice cream cones, cupcakes and all sorts of sweet confectionery. One South-African-based coffee-shop owner Dayne Levinrad claims that his #coffeeinacone concept at The Grind cafe has become the most ‘liked’ coffee-style shot on Instagram. Since he came up with the idea in January, nearly one million posts of coffee-filled cones have been liked on the social network. And while you may have a limited time frame in, which you can drink your coffee from an edible cup, most would agree that it’s an inventive way to get your caffeine hit. Plus, there’s only one way to make a cup of coffee better than it already is, and that’s by adding some chocolate or something sweet around the edges. Cheers!
