The Kaffree cup may be the perfect eco-friendly disposable cup in a time when companies are pushing towards biodegradable solutions. Designed to be virtually indestructible, biodegradable, dishwasher-safe and reusable, the Kaffree cup features a unique construction as it is made from coffee grounds. This construction method came after years of experimentation and the grounds used to make the cup come from local coffee shops in Berlin. The unique construction of the cup also ensures that each cup looks unique and offers a slight coffee scent.
The finished cups offer a distinct visual appeal and appear beautifully earthy and slightly ceramic. Thr Kaffree cup is currently available in three different models, with one made specifically for travel. The Weducer resembles traditional takeout coffee cups and has a sealable lid. The other two models as based on traditional espresso cup and cappuccino cup designs.
