About this calculator
Overview
Your morning cup of coffee has a hidden cost to the planet. From the water used to grow the beans to the energy used for roasting and transportation, every cup counts. This calculator estimates your annual footprint.
💡
Pro Tips
Use plant-based milks (like oat or almond) to significantly reduce the carbon footprint of your latte.
Switch to a reusable cup to save thousands of disposable cups from landfills over your lifetime.
Only boil the amount of water you actually need; heating water is energy-intensive.
Look for 'Fair Trade' or 'Rainforest Alliance' certifications to support sustainable farming practices.
