The team has reverse-engineered the coffee bean to create a uniquely smooth and sustainable brew
US based Atomo Coffee Inc, announced that it has closed an additional $9 million in Seed funding to bring its molecular coffee to market.
The team has reverse-engineered the coffee bean to create a uniquely smooth and sustainable brew. In a blind taste test conducted by CNBC, 70% of consumers preferred Atomo’s less bitter brew over conventional coffee.
Atomo will use funds to build their production roastery in the heart of Seattle’s industrial district with an anticipated launch in 2021.
Climate change is wreaking havoc on the global coffee industry; affecting quality, contributing to deforestation and driving a variety of wild coffee species into possible extinction. Atomo’s mission is to use science and technology to recreate coffee people love in a more sustainable way, by using upcycled plants.
Atomo’s production roastery will be located in SODO, not far from the local coffee icon, Starbucks, headquarters. They anticipate launching the first molecular coffee products into the market in 2021. Atomo has raised a total of $11.6 million across 2 Seed rounds.
