Problem
Everyone loves coffee — but coffee capsules are a huge landfill burden
Solution
Our story:
Tired of plastic pods
During a workday in 2015, I sat in my office and reflected on the amazing coffee that I used to drink in my hometown of Venice, Italy. I had grown tired of the coffee from plastic pods and realized that many others probably felt the same way.
So, I decided to create and launch a machine that would grind and brew freshly roasted coffee beans with the same profile taste as the Italian coffee I've missed so much.
