Our obsession with ceramics continues with these Kaffeeform Coffee Cups but it's what there made of that's caught our attention the most. Designed by German designer Julian Lechner who started Kaffeeform Coffee Cups in 2009 while working in Italy, where he studied design at the Free University of Bozen. Lechner experimented with used coffee grounds by recycling them using an injection-moulding process to fabricate to combine them with other renewable materials like wood grains and natural glues.
After five years of experimentation Lechner discovered a unique formula which transforms the leftover coffee, collected from local cafes in Berlin into his Kaffeeform products. The surface of Kaffeeform has the appearance of dark marblewood and still retains the smell of coffee in its final form.
Designed specifically for drinking espresso coffee, you can now pre-order the Kaffeeform Coffee Cups from their website.
