Leading the Way in Coffee Innovation

At Just In Coffee Group, innovation isn’t an afterthought, it’s the essence of who we are. Every idea we develop, from technology to taste, pushes the boundaries of what coffee can be. We design smarter systems, cleaner processes, and wellness-driven products that make a positive impact on people and the planet.

Eco Roast Technology: A World-First Revolution

We proudly invented Eco Roast, a groundbreaking circular roasting technology that turns used coffee grounds into eco fuel to power our roasters.

By closing the loop, we’ve transformed waste into energy, drastically cutting emissions and landfill use. This innovation has been adopted worldwide, but its roots lie right here at Just In Coffee Group.

Eco Roast isn’t just a product, it’s a philosophy that shows how sustainable thinking can drive global change.

Eco Fuel Creation & Circular Design

Our roastery is built on circular economy principles, where nothing goes to waste. Through eco fuel creation, we ensure every by-product has a new purpose:

  • Used coffee becomes renewable energy to fuel future roasts.

  • Biomass heating systems provide clean, efficient warmth.

  • Our offices are built from recycled pallet wood, turning waste into workspace.

  • First-to-market eco products showcase how creativity and sustainability can work hand-in-hand.

Waste Reduction & Energy Efficiency

We believe innovation should reduce impact, not create it. Our waste and energy reduction schemes go far beyond compliance, setting new standards in responsible production.

Waste Reduction Initiatives

  • Zero-to-landfill operations, every by-product is reused, recycled, or converted into biofuel.

  • Grounds collection partnerships with cafés and businesses to transform waste coffee into clean energy.

  • Sustainable packaging loops using recyclable and compostable materials.

  • Regular waste audits to identify new efficiency opportunities and maintain transparency.

Energy Use Reduction Schemes

  • Biomass-powered heating replacing traditional fossil fuel systems.

  • Smart roasting technologies that optimise energy consumption for every batch.

  • Energy-efficient lighting, insulation, and heat recovery systems across our roastery.

  • Continuous investment in renewable power and energy monitoring to minimise environmental footprint.

Through innovation, we’ve built one of the most energy- and waste-efficient coffee operations in the industry.

Inventing Smarter Tools: The Knock Out Buddy

The Knock Out Buddy, designed by Just In Coffee Group, reinvented the barista workflow. Compact, durable, and sustainably built, it’s now a must-have for cafés worldwide, proving that small innovations can make a big impact.

Wellness-Focused Coffee Innovation

Innovation at Just In Coffee Group isn’t just environmental,  it’s also about wellbeing.

We were among the first in the market to launch wellness-focused coffee products, including:

  • Myco Balance Coffee, a unique blend infused with natural mushroom extracts designed to support energy, focus, and vitality.

  • Half Caff Coffee, an innovative balance between full-strength flavour and reduced caffeine, catering to modern lifestyles seeking moderation and mindfulness.

These pioneering products introduced a new era of functional, wellness-driven coffee, setting trends that are now being followed globally.

Environmental Improvements at Our Roastery

Every improvement at our roastery reflects our mission to create meaningful change:

  • Biomass heating for renewable warmth.

  • Recycled pallet wood offices built from reclaimed materials.

  • Energy-efficient systems and insulation upgrades.

  • Eco product development labs focused on sustainable innovation.

Our roastery isn’t just a workplace, it’s a living example of circular design in action.

Certified for a Better Future: B Corp

As a B Corp Certified company, we meet the highest verified standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability.

It’s a recognition of our journey to balance profit with purpose, proving that great coffee can be both ethical and innovative.

The Future of Coffee Innovation

We’ve redefined what coffee innovation looks like, from Eco Roast biofuel and energy-efficient roasting to wellness-based coffee products and sustainable packaging.

At Just In Coffee Group, our mission remains the same: to brew progress, inspire change, and shape a coffee industry that gives back more than it takes.
