Kaffeeform is a sustainable material made from used coffee grounds and other renewable resources. As a coffee cup, it is given the perfect new life. The product range includes Espresso, Cappuccino, and Latte cups as well as the award-winning Weducer™ Cup for coffee on the go. All cups are exceptionally durable, light, and have a mild coffee scent.
Product designer Julian Lechner was intrigued by the idea of creating something new and lasting out of supposed waste, so he began experimenting with coffee grounds. Three years later, he had discovered the unique formula: recycled coffee grounds and renewable raw materials were transformed into the durable, robust material Kaffeeform. Which then became the Kaffeeform cup.
Kaffeeform wants to reshape consumer habits. To offer options and inspire people to integrate sustainability into their everyday lives and make conscious consumer decisions. To promote reusing products and raw materials; better to opt for multi-use than throwaway products, because every decision has consequences.
The rising consumption of coffee around the world is producing a growing amount of coffee grounds, most of which goes straight into the trash. This is where Kaffeeform comes in: it reuses otherwise wasted resources as a raw material. The innovative material resulting from this is exceptionally durable. It finds its perfect second life as a coffee cup. The coffee cycle is complete.
All products are designed in Berlin and produced in Germany. Kaffeeform opts for short, environmentally friendly transport to strengthen local and independent structures. The coffee grounds are transported by a bicycle courier collective, and the close collaboration with a social workshop forms a fixed component of their production process.
Kaffeeform combines design and aesthetics with sustainability and conservation of resources. Particularly the award-winning Weducer™ cup shows how form and function can pave the way for sustainability in everyday life.
