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 combines organic cotton with viscose from Carbonized coffee grounds . The result: a fabric that's breathable, odor-resistant, and pleasantly soft—perfect for anyone who's active and active outdoors.

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 do it right. Wearing this pick-me-up in your shirt wasn't enough for us; we wanted to drink it, too. That's why we developed our first own NIKIN coffee with the Baden-based roastery Caffè Uno . We already embarked on a foray into the world of beverages with our Forest Ale a few years ago. We're now staying true to this principle with our coffee: The high-quality beans from Brazil were fermented in spruce needles, giving the end result a fine, woody, earthy flavor. 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:

  1. Grind beans: medium fine, like coarse sand
  2. Fill with water: just below the valve
  3. Pour in coffee: spread loosely, do not press down
  4. Heat the cooker: over medium heat, leave the lid open
  5. As soon as it gurgles, turn down the heat – done!
  6. Moment of enjoyment: Stir, pour, enjoy

You can now buy the package of NIKIN x caffè UNO coffee and Bialetti in our NIKIN TreeHouse in Aarau.
