Back in 2022, we wrote about Coffee Free Coffee<\/a>, a Dutch startup developing a sustainable coffee alternative using similar ingredients.<\/p>\nWhat caught our attention is how Morrow<\/a> uses upcycled natural ingredients to replicate the fruitiness of real coffee. Morrow isn\u2019t trying to replace coffee, but to make it future-proof. How? By working with ingredients that are widely available, such as green lentils, yellow peas, chickpeas and barley, combined with upcycled fruit waste. An added bonus for conscious consumers: most of these ingredients can be grown in the UK and Europe.\u00a0Morrow<\/a> has tested samples at trade fairs and expects to finalise their next version by the end of the year.
