Either vouchers valid in cafés as other OP's have suggested, or they could as SAS has done in smaller airports (Cafe Lounges) is to set up small 'pop-up' cafe spaces where people can come grab a coffee, snacks and go.
Lufthansa used to have a 'Business Class' zone in the gate area, with seating, coffee etc. so they could just install that at every gate and open it to *G/SEN as well.

And why they wouldn't even give that "coffee-to-go" to their "oh so valued" frequent flyer pax (Going to Non-Schengen for a coffee? Right..)

The summer intern got the name from a joint in the vicinity of Hamburg airport:

How do you get those vouchers? At check-in? And for those who transit in ZRH, on the plane ?
