STASCAFE innovations

In 2010, the Stas brothers launched the COFFEEDUCK, a refillable two-capsule holder for loose coffee, suitable for use with the Senseo. The COFFEEDUCK was patented and is still a great success throughout the world to this very day.

In 2011, the first refillable capsule for Nespresso was launched (suitable for use with loose coffee). It was a great success straight away. However, many copies are available on the market now too. Although much copied, no other product is in the same league.

STASCAFE has gained many patents for organic capsules and membranes, etc. A laser is used to produce our foil lids, which consist of three separate layers. This lid material has exactly the same properties as aluminium and will never rip (please contact rien@stas.nl if you would like more information about this development or a possible licence).

The STASCAFE coffeecats concept consists of refillable capsules that can be filled with special custom-made coffee pouches called coffeecats. These capsules can be used hundreds of times and, we are proud to say, they are the most environmentally friendly consumer product that you'll find on the market today.

We are working hard to improve the environmental friendliness of the packaging we use. Unfortunately, big packaging multinationals are not currently supplying plant-based barrier packaging for coffee. Given this fact, we are planning to launch our OWN bio-based and compostable secondary packaging in the future.
