good morning coffee

At Ripples™ our vision is that people should not only enjoy their drinks, but also interact and engage with their friends, family and surroundings through their drinks. From Cappuccinos and Matcha Tea, to Nitro cold brew and even cocktails, using our patented Ripple Maker you can print special designs on top of all kinds of drinks. Creating unique, and surprising experiences for every first timer, and bringing them back for more while letting more people experience that same excitement. Not to mention the social media buzz that happens when people around the world share and tag their Ripples (The Ripples effect, as we call it).

Since our co-founders came up with this innovative idea and created a new marketing platform, we’ve created and curated hundreds of designs that have inspired and surprised thousands of coffee drinkers worldwide. Some were created by our design studio and some by independent artists and special collaborators we have had over the years. If you wish to contribute your design, look for the link in the bottom of this blog post.

With 2017 behind us, we wanted to look back and share our top 5 designs, printed worldwide:

It’s no surprise to us that the #1 coffee printed design around the world is a greeting. What can we say, people really do Enjoy drinking Ripples.

Considering this print was only available for 2 weeks during December, Santa really surprised us when took 2nd place worldwide!  We can safely say that Santa was definitely #1 during the holiday period.

Our lovely Giraffe takes the 3rd spot on the winners’ podium. This unnamed Giraffe has a long history with us at Ripples and is definitely one of the most printed designs since the Ripple Maker launched. Did you ever stop to think that a giraffe’s coffee would be cold by the time it reached the bottom of its throat? Did you!? No. You only think about yourself.

Why Investing in Regulars Is the Smartest Move for Your Café

Cafés were never just about coffee; they’re what sociologists call “third places”: the spaces between home and work where people connect, unwind, and feel a sense of belonging.These environments don’t just serve good coffee - they build routines, relationships, and emotional attachment. And that’s what drives repeat visits and long-term profitability.According to Duke University research, 40-45% of our daily actions are driven by habit, meaning customers don’t repeatedly choose a café because it’s the best; they choose it because it’s familiar.Once that habit is formed, switching requires effort, and most people simply don’t.
