Kaffe Bueno
UNLOCKING COFFEE'S HEALTH POTENTIAL.
Kaffe Bueno is the 1st circular economy around coffee. Through proprietary biotechnology innovation, we extract high value compounds from Spent Coffee Grounds (coffee's "waste") to produce ingredients for cosmetics, functional foods and nutraceuticals. Unlocking coffee's potential for human health and skin, while reducing emissions on coffee's value chain. When we look at a coffee bean, we see more than just what meets the eye… We see what most others don’t; polyphenols (chlorogenic acids, caffeic acids), caffeine, antioxidants, and so much more. For most considered waste (used coffee grounds), for us is a sustainable health elixir. Hence, we provide recycling solutions to cafés, hotels, offices and canteens in Copenhagen. We use the greenest technology to extract bioactive compounds from used coffee grounds, without emitting toxic gases into the environment.
