Whether you love the refreshing flavor of  a chai latte, the sweet aroma of a mocha frappuccino, or the jolting kick off a  dark roast, all coffee lovers are welcome here. Guess what? here is another reason to be in love with the brew. You can actually wear what you been drinking for years! You’re probably thinking I’m pulling your chain, how on earth can you wear coffee? Don’t worry spillage doesn’t play a factor when consuming coffee turns into day wear. In recent years, factories across the world established a process of  twisting wasted coffee grounds into yarn. The yarn  transcends into a coffee fibers which helps protect your gear from UV rays. Better yet  it also has a quick dry effect the “sweating at the gym stench” shouldn’t be an issue (not saying you don’t have to take a shower afterwards  but you get the point) The hand feel of the fiber is soft, light and breathable  which is great for the warmer weather which is soon to come.

 

According to Eco Watch : Coffee shops usually pay to have their grounds incinerated, taken to an anaerobic digestion plants or dumped in a landfill, where it releases harmful greenhouse gases.

The positive technicality of apparel sounds right to me if you’ve ever been to an eco-friendly shop walking down the deodorant aisle. There is a coffee alternative. Since coffee is already used to make deodorants, the sound of wearing coffee is not bad after all. Luckily this trend started to hit shops last year with well-known retailer American Eagle Outfitters. They entitled the collection perfectly Denim X Cafe. Retailing for $44.95-$49.95.

Unfortunately, the sweet aroma smell of coffee is not present in the jeans. However, the absence of the aroma could be a great thing, you wouldn’t want to be tempted to have a  few cups of coffee throughout the day. Although the smell of coffee is strong, the jeans have been treated to help remove the scent.

With coffee fibers being a great resource in apparel, the company I work for, West Point Home, decided to come up with a genius idea. The impressive qualities of a coffee fiber will also translate well into towels. I don’t know about you guys but I will definitely rack up on a few. I bet you will buy it when the product is finalized because who wouldn’t want to help contribute making the world a better place one coffee bean at a time.If you will like to find out when the towels are produced in stores, join my mailing list.

  1. I had no idea! I need to walk into an American Eagle and try these out. Their pants have always fit me a bit weird, but maybe with my new and improved “Mom” bod they will fit better! Thanks for sharing!

  2. I had no clue this was an actual thing! Who knew you could now wear coffee! I’m all for making the world a little more green. Let me know when your company starts selling those towels!

  3. Very cool! I’m a coffee drinker, my wife loves a good chai latte at Starbucks, it’s her happy place. I was unaware of what happened to the coffee grounds in coffee houses. It’s good to see a green alternative was found!

    1. Me to it’s crazy the amount been going to waste the more I research into it the more I find different forms of action taking place to reduce it.

  8. I’ve never heard of this, but it sounds pretty cool. I love coffee and it is cool it can be recycled. I am wearing a scarf that is made from recycled plastic, who knew 🙂

  12. So cool! I had no idea I think it’s fantastic that they are finding ways to reuse and find more economical ways of producing clothing. If only they could keep the coffee smell 😉
