Cupffee is a food tech company creating awesome biodegradable coffee cups. Located in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, the company was established in 2014. Our journey began with the development of the perfect recipe for an edible cup that can sustain a hot beverage for more than 12 hours. We went even further - our cups are vegan, contain just 56 kcal and stay crispy for 40 min while you enjoy your coffee. This achievement gave us the opportunity to begin production and distribution of a quality product that can match the high standards of the modern user. We dedicate our work and efforts in building a sustainable and eco-friendly brand, providing an alternative to the plastic and paper cups. Our product is a trendsetter, its mission is to disrupt our single-use patterns and to change people’s lives for better.
