So we're begining the process and have fallen in love with Sprinter Delivery vans. They drive great, have tons of space, run on diesel and get 25 mpg! We've got a little bit of time but we'll have one sooner or later. And its got us thinking...We try to be responsible and sustainable in all that we do. We could run biodiesel in this van. Pretty cool. But what if we ran vegetable oil? That's about as sustainable as you can get (plus it smells like french fries). And since we're brainstorming ideas - what if we picked up the vegetable oil from our coffee clients when we dropped off coffee and processed it ourselves? That's even cooler!
Of course, some copy-cat/PR coffee company machine in town will read this and steal our idea, but oh well. It's not about the PR - it's about doing the right thing. And the way we see it, doing the right thing can be a whole lot of fun. Stay tuned and we'll keep you posted on our progress.

Dude, that is a genious idea. I've actually done a fair bit of research on the veggie oil conversion and would love to chat. I'm sure you know Kettle Chips in Salem captures all of their waste oil and uses at least some of it to fuel veggie vehicles. Perhaps a partnering opportunity??
...and hey! Bon Appetit already donates to a biodiesel producer locally...I bet they might be willing to toss some grease your way. Keep them wheels turnin' guys!
