You may like your coffee with oat milk and a touch of sweetener, but have you ever thought that one day you might be drinking your coffee without the coffee? Atomo Coffee Inc has, because of one surprising reason. Climate change has made coffee beans an endangered species. This food tech start-up has created "coffeeless coffee" out from upcycled ingredients, meaning the parts of plants that used to be discarded. They are using chemical process to make sunflower seed husks and watermelon seeds mimic the flavor and taste of coffee minus the bean, but with the caffeine. If coffeeless coffee...

Atomo ready to roll out 'coffeeless' coffee this year Atomo's processing technique produces molecules that mimic the flavor and mouthfeel of coffee. Wednesday, May 12, 2021 4:15 PM UTC Atomo Coffee Inc.'s team of food scientists and chemists are working on what it dubs as coffeeless coffee, made from sunflower seed husks and watermelon seeds, which undergo a patented chemical process. The result of the processing of upcycled ingredients are molecules that mimic the flavor and mouthfeel of the real thing. The grounds are brewed...
