As explained by Decafé creator, Laurì "Decafe is a reflection on the cycle of natural elements that we use on a regular basis. Its aim is to give a second chance to coffee ground as a [biodegradable and renewable material](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rosana-sousa) while taking advantage of its emotional aspects."
