Coffee ☕ Coffee is one of the Germans' favorite drinks and yet there are many reasons to drink less coffee. One person lives without coffee because they don't like the caffeinated drink, another detoxes and doesn't drink coffee. Coffee is also one of the most climate-damaging drinks and is anything but sustainable. In this PULS report, Sebastian Meinberg therefore asks himself the question: Are there tasty and sustainable coffee alternatives? Together with barista Uli "Mr. Baruli" Niedersteiner (@mr.baruli), Sebastian Meinberg is looking for the best coffee alternatives. Can lupins, chicory or grain coffee keep up in terms of taste and how effective are the caffeine alternatives matcha, mate and guarana for Meini in the morning? And now it's your turn! Meini drinks four cups of coffee a day, who offers more?! Or maybe you don't drink coffee at all (anymore)? Then write to us about that too! We are excited to see who in our community is the biggest coffee ultra! ☕ #PULSReportage #Reportage #Coffee ---------- You can find the most important sources here: ➡ Coffee consumption study by the German Coffee Association, This is how Germany drinks coffee, 2021: https://www.kaffeeverband.de/de/press... ➡ Study "Ecological footprints of food and dishes in Germany", Reinhardt, G./Gärtner, S./Wagner, T. 2020, Institute for Energy and Environmental Research Heidelberg: https://www.ifeu.de/fileadmin/uploads... ➡ Image source background: 393660686/ picture alliance / Zoonar Przemyslaw Iciak ---------- Chapter 00:00 Is there anything better than coffee? 00:48 Barista Uli supports us 01:42 Why does coffee harm the climate? 02:47 We roast lupins - does it work? 04:50 Wake-up alternatives with caffeine 06:28 More climate-friendly alternatives 07:34 Meini's special blend 09:09 Lupine - a climate miracle 09:32 The moment of truth: Does lupine taste good? 10:47 Matcha & guarana put to the test: Better than coffee? 13:22 Regional alternatives 16:49 Mate tea put to the test: Does Meini wake up? 18:24 Blind tasting: Would you have noticed? 21:32 The big answer 22:50 Meini's conclusion - is he giving up coffee now? ---------- Editors: Robin Köhler, Sonja Röbig Camera: Jana Schneider Editing: Felix Janssen Graphics: Felix Holderer, Lukas Brenninger, Solvey Handrick Channel Management: Gesa Temmen ---------- We are Ariane Alter, Nadine Hadad and Sebastian Meinberg from PULS Reportage.
