As awareness grows around the environmental impact of coffee production, bean-free coffee innovations like Koppie are emerging. Koppie’s single-ingredient coffee alternative taps into the power of legumes, which are naturally fermented and roasted as part of a patent-pending process to achieve the richness of coffee with a lower climate impact. This beanless coffee tackles several concerns about the coffee industry, from large coffee supply-demand gaps and the skyrocketing prices of green coffee to fair wages for farmers.

Koppie recognizes that people have been brewing coffee alternatives for centuries and yet, many forget that flavor creation begins well before roasting. These whole-bean brews made from legumes are touted as “just as sippable, more sustainable” and a solution not to replace coffee but to reimagine daily rituals.
