From Waste to Wonder: The Story Behind Brewspress

Coffee is a daily ritual, a comfort, a spark that fuels billions of people each morning. But behind the convenience of modern coffee pods lies a harsh reality: over 56 billion disposable capsules end up in landfills every year. Most never get recycled.

For me, this truth became impossible to ignore.

The Moment It Hit Me

Like many others, I was using Nespresso daily. My friends loved it too—it was quick, easy, and felt indulgent. But every time I made a cup, I couldn’t help but ask: “Do you recycle the capsules?”

Nine out of ten of my friends said no. Most assumed someone else would.

One day, I reached a breaking point. I took my Nespresso machine to the trash room, determined never to create more capsule waste. Fifteen minutes later, I regretted it—not because I wanted the machine back, but because I realized someone had already picked it up.

It struck me hard: the cycle would continue. Another person would start using it, more capsules would pile up, and the waste problem would grow. That was the spark.

Two Years, Countless Prototypes, and a Clear Vision

I knew there had to be a better way. With my background in engineering, I set out to design a brewer that would:

  • Respect tradition — letting coffee breathe and taste the way it’s meant to.

  • Be portable and practical — for busy lives and daily rituals, wherever you are.

  • Cut the waste — no capsules, no guilt, just pure coffee.

The journey wasn’t quick. Over two years, I built and tested many prototypes—some failed, some improved, all taught me something. The idea kept evolving until it finally took shape.

What began as frustration turned into a passion project, then into a patented invention. Today, Brewspress is protected by patents and trademarks, but more importantly, it’s ready to change the way we think about brewing.
