Upcycled coffee grounds & fruit fiber cookies: a premium, sustainable snack with a unique taste.

PeelPresso Premium Upcycled Dessert: A Sustainable Taste Journey PeelPresso is an innovative, premium sandwich biscuite developed for the modern, eco-conscious confectionery market. Sitting at the intersection of gourmet indulgence and the circular economy, the product elevates high-quality food by-products, primarily coffee grounds, fruit and vegetable fibers into a premium culinary experience. Designed for conscious consumers, PeelPresso offers a unique, rich flavor profile without artificial additives or an excessive caffeine kick. In the commercial perspective, PeelPresso is based on a highly scalable, multi-channel business model, with 70% of operations focused on B2B and 30% on the premium retail market. For our partners such as cafes and coffee shops, the product is offered as a package-free dessert sold from elegant glass containers. Concurrently, the retail segment targets health-eco-conscious consumers with premium, sustainable four-piece packs sold in organic shops and eco-stores. This dual strategy allows our presence in coffee shops to generate organic brand awareness, directly driving higher sales volumes for the packaged products on the shelves of organic stores. With approx. 54% gross margin achieved in its first year and an exceptionally low break-even point, PeelPresso is a financially stable, low-risk, and highly profitable business. It is more than just a dessert: it is a scalable, sustainable solution designed for the future of the food industry.
