Coffee Ground Upcycling

Kaffe Bueno is upcycling spent coffee grounds into innovative, high-performance ingredients through advanced bioscience processes. Extracting bioactive compounds such as antioxidants, proteins, and fatty acids, the company maximizes the untapped potential of coffee, which typically leaves 99% of the bean’s benefits unused after brewing.

These compounds are repurposed into a variety of applications, including human nutrition, personal care, and agriculture. 'Our goal is to unlock the health potential of coffee by transforming its byproducts into health-promoting ingredients,' explains CEO Juan Medina.

With a state-of-the-art biorefinery in Copenhagen, Kaffe Bueno exemplifies sustainable innovation, ensuring every part of the coffee bean contributes to a more eco-conscious future. As a leader in the clean label movement, the company is redefining how food byproducts can fuel a circular bioeconomy while driving advancements in sustainability across industries.
