Coffècient was born from the term "coefficient," an initial idea fueled by the intention to transform coffee residuals into a flexible ingredient that easily blends into our daily lives filled with variables. It is pronounced as "koh-fey-shuhnt", with the "e" in grave accent. You're right, the origin of the name was initiated by a math nerd, it seems. |
The initiative of upcycling spent coffee grounds was later joined by two vibrant and coffee-loving ladies, ready to take on the world with their caffeinated brilliance. Together, we formed the Powerpuff Girls team at Coffècient. |
Coffee Culture in Malaysia
Coffee culture has been a hype in Malaysia these days. We see cafés are springing up like mushroom after the rain - providing a better ambiance for coffee enthusiasts, beyond the ever-popular mamak hangouts. Digging more into the market practice, unfortunately, we found Malaysian have ignored the existence of spent coffee grounds, despite the growing coffee drinking culture. |
We Upcycle Spent Coffee Grounds
We ask: What is the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) that these cafés are doing aside from coming up with eye-catching flavored coffees and instagrammable packaging? We aren't aggressive environmental activists, but who fills the gap? |
Starting Coffècient is to create awareness in society that coffee doesn't just end when it has given you that shot of caffeine; you can return the second shot of life to the residuals.
One puck at a time.
