Recycling of coffee grounds using Kaffeeform to regenerate coffee cups and plates
What is the function of the coffee grounds left over from making coffee every day, apart from throwing away or recycling for deodorization, deworming, deworming, and fertilizing? At the Amsterdam Coffee Festival (Amsterdam Coffee Festival) held in Amsterdam, the "Kaffeeform" coffee cup launched by German designer Julian Lechner is made of coffee grounds of the same name, showing people the magic that coffee grounds can change from soft to hard.
Lechner recycles the leftover coffee grounds from the local coffee shop in Berlin, mixes natural glue and sawdust into some kind of liquid material, and then pours it into a mold to shape it. When it dries and forms, it is just like an ordinary coffee cup. It is not only strong and durable, but also washproof and waterproof, even if it is thrown into the dishwasher.
This recycled coffee cup Kaffeeform is an espresso cup and the world's first commercial product made of coffee grounds. The thick dark marble grain on the cup looks steady but not too serious, and the grain is unique, just like espresso, although low-key, but with its charming aroma and delicate taste to conquer everyone's taste buds. Even if there is no coffee in the cup, you can still smell a faint smell of coffee.
Lechner believes that with the gradual growth of global daily coffee consumption, the potential value of coffee grounds reuse is also huge, and choosing coffee grounds for reuse is also to help people find a more environmentally friendly choice in addition to the traditional petrochemical and plastic industry, so he came up with the idea of coffee grounds reuse as early as 2009 when Lechner was working in Italy.
When he was studying design at the Free University of Bono (Free University of Bozen) in Italy, he began the difficult task of recycling coffee grounds into coffee cups. It is not difficult to recycle coffee grounds, but it is difficult to find out the best proportion of coffee grounds mixed with sawdust, natural glue and other recycled materials. After five years of research and experiments, Lechner finally found a perfect proportion.
However, for coffee lovers, it will not be satisfied. He also thoughtfully designed a handle and a corresponding coffee plate for each coffee cup. The grooves in the middle of the small plate are the exclusive seats of the coffee cup. Reduce the chance of shaking, overturning and even breaking, and try it out in a local coffee shop in Berlin.
At present, Kaffeeform can be purchased from the website of the same name, a group of four, or retail. Although in Germany, people who are interested can still go up and have a look.
