WHY RECYCLED COFFEE?
WHAT ARE USED/SPENT COFFEE GROUNDS, A.K.A. COFFEE 'WASTE' ?
At Kaffe Bueno, we are all about giving life back to what most consider waste; we recycle used coffee grounds, or technically known as Spent Coffee Grounds (SCG) to extract healthy and high value components. In short, SCG is the coffee grounds remaining after your brew. SCG is a by-product with fine particle size and high organic load. Its chemical composition is based on cellulose, hemicelluloses, proteins, fat, polyphenols, minerals and different products formed by the Maillard reaction during the roasting process, such as melanoidins. These compounds have shown several biological activities, including antiproliferative, antioxidants, and antimicrobial effects (Mariotti-Celis et al. 2017).

[KAFFOIL®]
for personal care
A versatile and pioneering lipophilic extract
A 100% natural ingredient with strong skin- and hair care benefits
KAFFOIL® is the first upcycled coffee-derived lipophilic extract in the market. The non-intrusive environmentally friendly extraction process allows for a holistic extraction and preservation of the whole spectrum of bioactive molecules. This positions KAFFOIL® as a valuable active and carrier oil for cosmetic formulations.
There are two versions; KAFFOIL® in its rawest form being a dark viscous and fragrant oil, and KAFFOIL-R®, a semi-refined version much lighter in colour and aroma, serving as a sustainable alternative to Argan oil. It increases hair shine, promotes anti-breakage and helps to repair chemically damaged hair.
