Compound Foods
A sustainable bean-less coffee alternative
How does it work?
A sustainable coffee alternative for those who love coffee, yet ensure a smaller footprint and a bigger, brighter future for both coffee and the planet.
Coffee without coffee - through food science and fermentation technology, Compound Foods use sustainably grown microbes to produce a coffee with sweet tones, bright acidity, and nuanced aromas.
Why is it needed?
Coffee has become the fifth-most polluting crop in the value chain. Climate Change is also threatening the future of coffee due to the increasing temperatures and erratic rains. This is decreasing the suitability of coffee producing regions and farms.
How does it improve life?
Compound Foods reduces the negative environmental impact of coffee production by reducing both water use and carbon emissions.
