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).

Our story
Kaffe Bueno was founded by the three Colombian entrepreneurs Camilo Fernandez, Alejandro Franco, and Juan Medina. Growing up in Colombia, they were all familiar with coffee as a health enhancing plant that could be used for so much more than just a caffeinated beverage.
Dedicated to unleashing the untapped potential of coffee by-products, and to work towards a more circular and sustainable society, they started Kaffe Bueno in Denmark in 2016. Today, Kaffe Bueno is a forerunner within sustainable biotech that upcycle coffee by-products into innovative active and functional ingredients for a wide range of everyday products in the industries responsible for society’s wellbeing.
