Prefer
Prefer is on a mission to ensure that coffee remains affordable and becomes sustainable. Prefer achieves this by making bean-free coffee. Why? Land suitable for coffee bean growth is expected to halve by 2050. Demand for coffee is expected to increase by 300% in the same time period. It takes 15kg of CO2 to produce 1kg of coffee beans. That is three times more CO2 than an equivalent amount of chicken or pork. Their coffee is more affordable and environmentally sustainable. At Prefer, they create coffee flavours by fermenting surplus food waste. The result looks, tastes, and brews just like ground coffee. Their novel process allows them to make a consistent supply in many flavours, all in a sustainable fashion.
