Are you more of a “Mi love, espresso macchiato, by favor“- or the “That's that me espresso“-type? Whether in the ear or on the tongue – for many the day only really starts with the first cup of coffee, home-brewed or to goCoffee accompanies us, always and everywhere. And that's exactly why we at NIKIN asked ourselves: Why not in our clothes too? Because coffee is more than only a Enjoyßmittel.
From coffee grounds to statement: The TreeShirt Coffee Carbon
For us, sustainability begins with the material. We like to think outside the box and use raw materials that, at first glance, don't have much to do with clothing. This also applies to coffee, or rather, coffee grounds. Our TreeShirt Coffee combined Organic cotton with viscose from carbonated coffee groundsThe result: a fabric that is breathable, odor-inhibiting and pleasantly soft – perfect for those who are out and about and moving around.
Carbonated coffee grounds are actually a waste product, but by recycling them, something completely new can be created. Practical, convenient, and useful. True to our motto: Take Action.
Coffee in your shirt? We have even more to offer
If you're going to have coffee, then have it properly. Wearing the stimulant just in your shirt wasn't enough for us; we wanted to drink it too. That's why we started with the Caffè Uno roastery from Baden developed our first own NIKIN coffee. We have already taken a trip into the world of drinks with our Forest Ale started a few years ago. We now remain true to this principle with our coffee: The high-quality beans from Brazil were fermented in spruce needles, which gives the end result a fine, woody, earthy taste gives.
There's also the matching NIKIN Bialetti coffee maker , so you can brew coffee at home or on the go while camping. Here's how to easily conjure up your own NIKIN coffee:
- Grind beans: medium fine, like coarse sand
- Fill with water: just below the valve
- Pour in coffee: spread loosely, do not press down
- Heat the cooker: over medium heat, leave the lid open
- As soon as it gurgles, turn down the heat – done!
- Moment of enjoyment: Stir, pour, enjoy
