If you could make a simple choice that had a positive impact on the environment, each and every day, would you?
We all agree that we should be more responsible when it comes to the choices we make and the impact they have on the environment. Green thinking is both a corporate responsibility and good for business. The way others see you directly reflects on their desire to do business with you. With Miller & Bean, you will show your employees and your clients that you are concerned about the environment and the future of our planet.
Here’s why Miller & Bean is the greenest coffee service available:

Great single-cup coffee without the waste. The M&B Vista uses coffee beans fresh ground for each cup. It uses one recyclable bag of beans for every 250 cups of coffee. Less packaging means less waste.
It’s one cup at a time with Vista and Keurig. Not only does this guarantee the freshest coffee possible, but it also eliminates the waste commonly seen with batch-brew systems. In systems that brew a whole pot or thermos of coffee at a time, it is not uncommon to see as much as 20% of the coffee thrown away (due to stale or unused portions). It’s bad for the environment and your budget!
New fuel efficient delivery vehicles. Our delivery trucks of choice are the new Chevrolet Cargo Van. They are much more fuel efficient than some of the larger coffee delivery trucks you see on the roads. They’re just large enough to service a full day’s worth of delivery (and no more). We’re not hauling around extra weight for nothing, and we’re only making one trip a day to the warehouse.
The ceramic cup is king. We’re hearing it in the news a lot lately. We know using regular paper or Styrofoam cups is never the best choice. When drinking coffee in the office, we recommend using ceramic cups. They’re obviously reusable, and save tons of garbage from entering the landfill. When a ceramic cup won't do, we offer a perfect environmentally safe choice…our Ecotainer line of paper cups. They're made from 100% renewable resources, and fully compostable.
Plant a better garden. Our Vista's used coffee grinds are a hit with anyone with a green thumb! The used grinds are pure heaven for your flower garden, shrubs, or trees. Not only do the grinds provide an amazing source of nutrients to help your garden grow, but when spread around your topsoil, they also help keep harmful insects and slugs away! Take home a 25lb heavy-duty (biodegradable) bag of our used grinds. No charge and first come first serve!

Environmentally friendly growers. It starts in the fields. Our growers use environmentally safe practises to bring us the freshest green beans with the least impact. Most are Fair Trade and certified organic.
Turn out the lights. You don’t need to remember to save energy…the Keurig and the Vista will do it for you! We’ll program it to put itself to “sleep” at night, and then “wake up” in the morning … at whatever times you choose. Early birds will have hot fresh coffee as soon as they walk in (without wasting energy).
Coffee accessories. You can choose to reduce your environmental impact even further. All our coffee accessories (milk, cream, sugar, stir sticks) are available in formats that use less packaging, or are made from recyclable materials.
Cleaning supplies In addition to all the popular name brands, we also carry a wide selection of “green” products. Everything from paper towels to cleaners to dishwasher soap is available in a green format.
Environmentally friendly doesn’t need to cost more. We often think something better has to cost more. That’s usually true, but in the case of taking care of our planet, you’ll also save money! With Miller & Bean, the environmental choice is less expensive than the alternative (coffee beans vs coffee packs or pods; one cup at a time vs making an entire pot and throwing some away; larger containers of coffee accessories vs individually packaged portions; and reusable ceramic coffee cups vs disposable cups).
A better cup of coffee, a better service experience, and better for the environment. All for less than you are paying for your coffee service today. The choice is simple.
Miller & Bean…the green choice.
