How A Company In Berlin Is Turning Coffee Grounds Into Reusable Cups

Kaffeeform, a Berlin-based start-up, has been creating coffee cups from recycled coffee grounds for the past three years. With the help of courier services, the company picks up used coffee grounds from cafés all across Berlin to create these eco-friendly cups. We learn how the founder, Julian Lechner, got started and how he makes his products.

[@madgirlbitchingboutstuffs4344]

One would need the ability to use coffee and dry it themselves at home before bringing it back. Otherwise people will not bring it, since it molds before they go to the store agan. The company would need to figure out a way to do that that isn't very expensive and easy to transport. And you need a reward system too. Something like, bring two dried and used kilos and get one fresh one back. Something like this.

[@seeker119]

Veritas B. I agree with you

[@CAG2]

The thing is, a lot of these "innovations" are easy to design and manufacture. However, they are often way too expensive to be used in the mass market, and they aren't marketed extremely well, which explains why these innovations aren't ubiquitous today.

[@Submac_]

CAG2 still , the fact that more and more of these ideas are coming around means the possibility of mass marketing potential at some point.

It's possible to produce them in mass quantity at cheaper cost In India These Cups are called 'Kulhad' They are produced at cheaper cost & Recycled easily

[@F_Dot_]

Just visited their website. €14.90 for a take away cup... Also the same price for an espresso cup with saucer.

[@pragmax]

Assuming they're not using anything hard or expensive to source (aside from coffee grounds), that could be a good thing. Instead of one massive company making these for the world, we could have hundreds or thousands of small localized operations like this, everywhere. That means more employment, in more places.

[@CAG2]

@@pragmax But then those "small localised operations" can't benefit from economies of scale, which would allow for the cheaper manufacture of this product. And, even if the product is just a little more expensive than the existing alternative, businesses will refuse to switch because on a large scale; even a difference of one cent can add up to hundreds of thousands of additional costs.

Makes so much sense because some places will charge you for using their plastic bags. Coffee cafes should do the same concept.

[@hankr3603]

@It's Mudkip Probably, but Aldi does the same thing and people still go there! If one of the big coffee players implemented this system it would become a trend.

[@user-vn7ce5ig1z]

The difference is that people don't usually go to the grocery store often or on a whim; they usually plan a trip to the store and so can be expected to bring some reusable bags with them. It doesn't really make sense for people to lug around a cup with them everywhere in case they happen to pop in somewhere for coffee. Unfortunately there's no perfect solution for this and there will invariably be at least some compromise. 🤷

[@l.c.8475]

@@regulator5521 many already give discounts, for Starbucks its 10ct I believe, but other coffee shops give up to 30ct off for bringing your own cup. But it's not usually advertised and some bakeries only apply the discount if it's a cup with their logo. There are also local differences, some local governments encourage ecofriendlyness and demand shops to sell single use cups for 30ct, when they're filled. But that's just Germany, I don't know what it's like elsewhere.

Starbucks uses a fresh plastic cup to fill your personal reusable cup and then throws away that plastic cup. Apparently they're incapable of measuring the standardized amount of coffee any other way. They really missed the point.

It’s really not that much of a benefit. Recycled paper cups would work far better and more efficient use of energy and man power. Coffee grounds already decompose.

[@aleksandersuur9475]

Well, I wouldn't be too sure about benefiting the environment. What they are doing is using coffee grounds as a filler in some sort of biodegradable plastic. What sort? They didn't exactly go into details there. The specifics matter a whole lot here if you want to know the net environmental effect. Could be a pretty good product, could be a total gimmick. Anyone wanna try actually composting these things to see how well they decompose? And Marc has a point, they are running an ridiculously inefficient operation by the looks of it and their prices are outright ridiculous. A hipster fad, not a world saver the way they are doing it. This here is how their injection molding machine should be operating, it's a pretty similar machine to what they have kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYbVcn-rpNeMjsk

[@angelmonroy9644]

Debojit Chowdhury I think less trash is pretty worth it

[@AR-dn9ej]

Angel Monroy It would be less trash in the form of coffee cups but it could be more energy intensive overall leading to more greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere than just having regular coffee cups, or better yet reusable espresso cups.

[@1lowfatmilk712]

Aiden Ross Yeah exactly! The British government did a lifecycle analysis of consumer bags to find out the polluting potential of various options. What they found was that standard plastic bags actually pollute the least. In fact, for even a paper bag to pollute as little per use as a plastic bag it had to be used 3 to 4 times (reusable bags were about 15 uses and cotton bags were over 100!). This is because the production of the bags were by far the largest source of their pollution when considering the whole lifecycle (pre-use, use and post-use). So the takeaway is that we need to focus on not producing so much stuff and reusing the stuff we do as much as possible. Recycling is the third step in "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" for good reason. Thanks for bringing this up Debojit!

Between 14.90 and 22.90€ per mug (depending on the cup/ mug type and size and a saucer is always included. Purchasing larger amounts (as a café for example gives ya better prices.). According to their website they are usable for several years without any problems and are can be washed in a dishwasher. They are not only made out of coffee grounds, but also biopolymers, cellulose, wood, natural oils, natural wax, natural resin and natural starch. They are apparently just as durable as normal mugs, just a bit more resistant go shocks, like being dropped on the ground.

[@jamesbizs]

Esava hmmm. Interesting. I thought it was one time use. I can’t imagine this being more environmentally friendly than ceramic mugs that can be used for decades.

[@saml2601]

The cups do crack after a while. They are also absorb foreign smells, like the dishwasher. Sounds great, but it makes your coffee taste like shit. The carbon footprint for these cups would be the same as a very good coffee cup. I have some ACF italian cups that are 15 years old in my cafe. They are still looking great!! Bad luck that ACF are no longer around. Environmentally friendly would be using a waste that is useless. Coffee grinds make great compost. No way they as durable in a commercial environment and it makes the coffee taste like hay. Then once they get old, it only gets worst. A good cup is key, in making a great coffee.
