No more coffee and tea meeting service for fewer than 10 people

4 November 2024
From August 2024, it is no longer possible to order jugs of coffee and tea for less than 10 people during a meeting or gathering. We hereby appeal to the cooperation of all VU employees by bringing your own coffee and/or tea to your appointment.

Currently, about 80% of all jugs of coffee and/or tea are thrown away. And due to the large number of orders at the same time, service and quality are also under (financial) pressure. Time to opt for a more sustainable alternative.

Previously, it was possible to order coffee and tea jugs for every meeting and every location on campus. Thermos jugs of coffee and tea make up 44% of all catering orders, and 80% of them are not drunk. This wastage no longer suits the current times and VU Amsterdam's sustainability principles.

Quality and service

The large number of (smaller) orders also makes it a challenge for the caterer to get the many coffee and tea orders to the right locations on time, of good quality and hot. The quality of the coffee and tea from the vending machines is usually good and therefore an acceptable alternative. In this way, we are working together towards VU Amsterdam's sustainable goals, combating food waste and contributing to financial savings.

Coffee machines with oat milk

You will find a coffee machine with oat milk in every VU building. The oat milk is 100% vegan, gluten- and lactose-free.

The locations of coffee machines with oat milk are:

  • Main Building HG-B0 (opposite coffee corner Mainstreet) and HG 1A-18
  • New University Building 2C-33
  • MF Building D-014
  • Initium 1B-88
  • BelleVUe 0H-00
  • Transitorium ground floor Main entrance
  • O|2 Lab Building ground floor 0W-00
