Kaffe Bueno | Unlocking Coffee's Health Potential

WHY RECYCLED COFFEE?

WHAT ARE USED/SPENT COFFEE GROUNDS, A.K.A. COFFEE 'WASTE' ?

At Kaffe Bueno, we are all about giving life back to what most consider waste; we recycle used coffee grounds, or technically known as Spent Coffee Grounds (SCG) to extract healthy and high value components. In short, SCG is the coffee grounds remaining after your brew. SCG is a by-product with fine particle size and high organic load. Its chemical composition is based on cellulose, hemicelluloses, proteins, fat, polyphenols, minerals and different products formed by the Maillard reaction during the roasting process, such as melanoidins. These compounds have shown several biological activities, including antiproliferative, antioxidants, and antimicrobial effects (Mariotti-Celis et al. 2017).

WE UNDERSTAND THE VALUE OF THE 3 P’S - PEOPLE, PLANET, AND PROFITS

We prioritise health of both people and planet within our innovation strategy. This aims to tackle some of the world’s major health and skin problems while reducing carbon footprint in coffee’s lifecycle. Through our cutting-edge products driven by recurring biotech innovation, we aim to make the world a Bueno place.

RECYCLING SERVICE

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.

SCANDINAVIA'S FIRST COFFEE BIO-REFINERY

We use the greenest technology to extract bioactive compounds from used coffee grounds, without emitting toxic gases into the environment. In here, we aim to continuously develop natural ingredients for Personal Care, Nutraceuticals and Functional Foods, all derived from compounds within Spent Coffee Grounds (SCG).

This way, we extend coffee’s life while improving your and nature’s health.
