Drink Coffee in Coffee with These Reusable Cups!

We can help the environment in many ways!

One of the best things about being part of this generation is that we’re always looking for environmentally friendly ways to do our daily activities. Now more than ever, we’re aware of the impact that our actions have on the environment and on our planet. Saving and protecting our resources is key to develop sustainable production, especially when we talk about the coffee industry. That’s why today we want to share with you a project made out of our favorite drink: coffee!

Kaffeeform is the name their creators gave to the material with which they create coffee cups and other different utensils. It’s the result of asking one simple question: what happens to coffee grounds after we have enjoyed our espresso, cappuccino or Americano? Is there no way to re-use this good and natural resource? They discovered that there was actually a pretty cool way to use it and Kaffeeform was, in consequence, born.

After three years of experimenting, a lot of research and hard work, Julian Lechner, the product designer behind the project, came up with the material that now allows him to recycle old coffee grounds that would otherwise be simply discarded and use them to create completely new products.

According to Sprudge:

40% of the material compound is made from the used coffee grounds they collect from local coffee shops; five to six kilograms every day. The coffee grounds need to be dried before starting the material production, otherwise the grounds would get moldy. The production runs in a small factory building where all the fibers, wood grains, and biopolymers are added in the right combination. Under heat, the matter is then transferred into molds that form cups and saucers, even retaining a nice smell of coffee.

In these little cups, the material speaks louder than the design. You can immediately see that there’s something unique about them. All Kaffeeform cups have the appearance of dark marblewood, smells of coffee, are very light, and finally are dishwasher friendly and long-lasting, as they can be used over and over again.

One cup and saucer can be made from the waste of six consumed cups of espresso, which according to Kaffeeform, are collected in local coffee shops in Berlin. Since it was launched in 2015, Kaffeeform has grown, and they now offer different cup sizes for espresso shots or cappuccinos. Among their key features we find:

- Dishwasher friendly.
- Lightweight.
- Durable.
- High isolation qualities.
- Slight coffee scent.
- Food safe.
- Free of BPA.
- Eco-friendly material composite.
- Made for unlimited consumption.
- Each cup looks unique.
- Carbon neutral disposal / Biodegradable.
