Your next cup of joe could be your most eco-friendly caffeine boost.

Select Commonplace Coffee locations are serving beverages in cups made of clay, salt and water. Depending on the drinker’s needs, the earthenware vessels can be single-use or reusable. After they are discarded or broken, they leave no environmental impact.

Priced at $3, the cups are available for individual purchase or as an add-on to a drink order at three of their five cafes: Garfield, Mexican War Streets and Rockwell Park in North Point Breeze.

Commonplace says it’s the first in the Northeast United States to test-market the new product for GaeaStar, a San Francisco- and Berlin-based technology company. The concept was initially inspired by CEO and founder Sanjeev Mankotia’s time in India. He noted how street vendors serve tea out of handmade terra cotta cups.

GaeaStar’s mission is to replace single-use plastic with their product created via a proprietary 3D printing process. For years, Commonplace Coffee has given a 25-cent discount to guests who bring in their own reusable receptacle. With the new GaeaStar cup, it will pay for itself in as little as 12 visits, according to Commonplace.
