Have your coffee and eat it to
A start-up in Denmark has been recognised for developing the first circular economy around coffee, creating a flour and extracting oils from spent grounds. Kim Berry reports.
A COMPANY that upcycles spent coffee grounds has been recognised by Mondelez International’s innovation hub, SnackFutures.
Kaffe Bueno is a Denmark- based start-up. It sources coffee grounds from cafés and hotels in Copenhagen, then uses biotechnology processes to extract oils from the grounds and a naturally gluten-free flour. It claims to be the first circular economy around coffee.

The oils are used in skin care but can be used as a sweetener, natural colourant and preservative for foods and beverages. The flour can fortify baked goods.
The spent grounds have bioactive compounds that have anti-proliferative, antioxidants and antimicrobial effects, Kaffe Bueno says.
