:: design we love :: KAFFEEFORM

Berlin-based Kaffeeform is a company founded by a product designer who wanted to create a sustainable solution for coffee cups. Given most coffees purchased at coffee shops come in one-time use cups, Julian Lechner saw an opportunity to use the spent coffee grounds from coffee shops and up-cycle them into a biodegradable mug product. Kaffeeform uses a bicycling service to pick up the used grounds around Berlin coffee shops. The grounds then get dropped off at Kaffeeform’s workshop to be processed and shaped into mug form by heat and pressure. The result is beautiful and ingenious!
