About us
Driven by our dream for a better world, we created Cupffee – the delicious, edible, and biodegradable cookie cup that redefines sustainability and transforms disposable culture.
BECAUSE WE CARE
Sustainability in an edible cup
Your Cupffee is a green solution to global waste. Sustainable by design, our biodegradable wafer cup brings a solution at source level. Cupffee is a pioneer in its mission to disrupt the usage pattern of one-way cups and save the planet one Cupffee at a time. Every single one of our exceptional cups is crafted with love, entirely natural grains and utmost concern for the environment. We strive to bring you the finest crispy experience with every bite and urge you to join the Green revolution!
“Cupffee is pioneering a greener world. Embrace our edible cups as a green solution to plastic pollution.”
INDUSTRY 4.0 PROCESS
Fully automated manufacturing
Cupffee cups are born in Plovdiv, Bulgaria—the industrial center of the Balkans. We strive for the highest level of automation and digitalization in our processes. From mixing the ingredients to dough making, dosing, baking, and packaging, everything flows in one elegant, continuous flow. We are equipped with the latest machines from world leaders like Buhler and Konig, which are modified to facilitate our proprietary production process, along with numerous custom designed equipment. This is industry 4.0 in action – in pursuit of efficiency and sustainability.
INDUSTRY 4.0 PROCESS
Zero-Waste production process
What defines Cupffee as unique is not only its taste and characteristics, but also the way we produce thousands of Cupffee cups every day. Our production process does not generate industrial waste – just clean steam and a tasty aroma of freshly baked cookies. Moreover, all leftover materials from the production of cups are utilized as ingredients for other edible products.
How is made
Our Cupffee cups are a phenomenon worth sharing.
It all started with a brave idea
How do you make an edible cup that adds more character to your coffee experience and obliterates the need for plastic and single-use paper cups? We gathered the exceptional minds of coffee lovers with the inner drive to make the planet greener. And we came up with the perfect recipe for the crunchy and delicious Cupffee cups that now complements the coffee and tea of people all around the world.
