Aptly dubbed the world's most Instagrammable coffee, #CoffeeInACone was launched by Dayne Levinrad in South Africa in 2016. He was daydreaming about ways to sell more coffee, and just a few years later, the “cone-cept” is now available in 16 countries—and, at the Easton Public Market!
“As you probably know, coffee is a global exchange helping farmers all across the world,” says Kristina Melbourn, owner and education specialist at Fieldstone Coffee Roasters. “By partnering with an African chocolate and cone company, we are not only helping the coffee farmers, but we are helping the villagers as well.” Melbourn explains that the primarily female company has changed the lives of many of the women living in the poverty-stricken village of Soweto, where the cone factory exists.
At Fieldstone Coffee Roasters, guests can order their cones with espresso. “When pulled into the cone, [it] just barely melts the first layer of chocolate to give you a coffee and a slight sweetness all at once,” says Melbourn. “The longer you wait to drink it, the more it melts.” Of course, kids will want in on the fun! They can order their cones with a little bit of steamed milk.
What's more, the cones are doing some good for the environment, too. “We like to think this is a greener alternative—instead of using cups, lids and straws,” she says. “Will it replace all cups? Probably not, but it's a sweet start!”
