Say goodbye to capsules and make way for coffee balls!
The CoffeeB machine, made by Swiss coffee company Migros, employs Coffee Balls rather than conventional capsules. It seeks to strike a balance between the ease of capsules and the environmental benefits of grinding coffee, as reported first by TechCrunch.
The Coffee Ball is a component of a brand-new coffee capsule system that produces zero waste and is the first of its type. The business claims that it is "revolutionizing an industry plagued by colossal waste," and says that consumers of capsule coffee contribute 100,000 tons of garbage annually around the globe.
It is worth noting that although some pods are recyclable or biodegradable, a majority of them are still thrown away.
"The next generation of capsule coffee is here, and it comes without a capsule," CoffeeB's Dr. Caroline Siefarth, said in a statement.
Siefarth added that CoffeeB is half a decade of research and will revolutionize how the world drinks single-serve coffee.
The secret to CoffeeB's success is compressing the coffee balls into a layer made of a tasteless, colorless seaweed-based layer that provides the coffee structure and keeps it from losing flavor. This indicates that the coffee capsule is entirely compostable.
Sustainable Coffee Enjoyment
The machine is now only available in Switzerland and costs $175. (CHF 169). Nine coffee balls cost $5, which is average compared to other pod-based systems.
"The CoffeeB system provides you with sustainable coffee enjoyment because it uses only what you need for a perfect coffee: the best coffee beans, the best roasting and perfect grinding. In other words, premium coffee, pressed into a coffee ball," Migros claimed on its website.
The CoffeeB machine combines the benefits of a capsule machine with the innovations of a fully automated system. The greatest premium coffee is now available at the press of a button, saving the trouble of throwing or recycling capsules.
The device uses minimal energy, shuts off automatically after just one minute, and can be fixed at one of Migros' service centers if it encounters any problem.
