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).

KAFFIBRE
FOOD & BEVERAGE
WHAT IS KAFFIBRE?
Kaffibre is an upcycled fibre derived from spent coffee grounds. It is caffeine-free, low in fat, rich in proteins, insoluble dietary fibres, and potassium.
Kaffibre key applications are bakery & confectionery, pizza & pasta, and healthy snack bars.
Kaffibre, derived from coffee, is a fibre suitable for gluten-free, high-fibre and high-protein recipes.
Baking with coffee? Not really. To make Kaffibre, we extract the lipid fraction (fat) out of coffee grounds, then sterilise and mill them to match standard flour particle size.
Kaffibre flavour profile comprises of nutty and chocolate notes.
Although it comes from coffee, its coffee taste is mostly gone along with the oil extracted priorly.
KAFFIBRE IN MEDIA
