Mad Coffee: What's Inside & How It Works
Mad Coffee combines the flavors of cold brew and iced coffee with the speed and convenience of instant—without the bitterness, plastic waste, or need for fridge space.
- No refrigeration
- No clumping
- Low acidity (gentle on your stomach)
It’s clean energy in seconds, with café-quality taste wherever you are.
LyoExtract™ is Mad Coffee’s proprietary flash-freeze technology that turns fresh-brewed coffee into dissolvable crystals. Developed with world-renowned U.S. researchers in medical-grade lyophilization and in partnership with scientists from our parent company, Genecis Bioindustries Inc., this process preserves the full flavor and aroma—while allowing the crystals to dissolve seamlessly in cold water.
MadCups are pocket-sized, compostable micro coffee cups filled with our premium coffee crystals. Each MadCup makes a 7–10oz cup of coffee, instantly. Whether you’re at home, at the office, traveling, or on the go—MadCups deliver a consistently great coffee experience, anywhere.
Mad Coffee is made with 100% Arabica coffee beans and contains 150mg of natural caffeine per cup. No sugar, no additives—just clean coffee.
Not yet—but we’re listening. Decaf is something we may consider for future releases.
- Classic Cold Brew: Slow-brewed at low temperature for a smooth, balanced flavor
- Iced Americano: Starts with a bold espresso extraction for a deep, rich flavor
Vanilla Caramel: Blends fresh coffee with natural vanilla and caramel for a lightly sweet finish
Mad Coffee and Sustainability
Yes. MadCups are made with industrially compostable biopolymers developed by our parent company, Genecis Bioindustries Inc.
The aluminum pouch, foil seal, and paper tray are recyclable, helping reduce waste with every cup. While aluminum is currently the best option for food safety and freshness, we’re actively working toward a future where every component is fully compostable.
We’re exploring bulk options for the future—especially for home and office use—but our single-serve MadCups are intentionally designed for freshness, convenience, and portability.
Each MadCup delivers a precise dose of clean energy, without the need for machines, filters, or plastic pods. The cups are made from industrially compostable biopolymers, and the outer packaging is fully recyclable.
We’re deeply committed to reducing packaging waste over time and are actively developing solutions that balance functionality, sustainability, and food safety—without compromising the experience.
Mad Coffee is powered by Genecis Bioindustries, our scientific parent company, whose mission is to democratize the use of biomaterials. This platform allows us to help more consumers become familiar with—and confident in—compostable alternatives to plastic.
No. MadCups are completely free of microplastics.
They’re made from industrially compostable biopolymers developed by our parent company, Genecis Bioindustries Inc., and are designed to break down without leaving behind harmful residues.
Unlike traditional petroleum-based plastic pods or foil-lined sachets, MadCups are a clean, sustainable alternative—better for you and better for the planet.
Yes! Mad Coffee pairs perfectly with oat milk, almond milk, or any creamer of your choice. Add it after the crystals have fully dissolved for best results.
Sealed inside the aluminum pouch, MadCups have a 12-month shelf life. Once opened, we recommend consuming within 3 months for the best flavor and freshness.
Yes—Mad Coffee contains no animal products or gluten, and is suitable for most dietary needs.
Mad Coffee's Unique Features & Benefits
Not even close. Most instant coffees are bitter and only dissolve in hot water. Our LyoExtract™ crystals are engineered to dissolve in hot or cold water and deliver a smooth, café-quality taste—without the harshness of traditional instant coffee.
We use direct trade beans from small farms. Every blend is thoughtfully curated to create bold, balanced flavor profiles.
Yes. Every batch of Mad Coffee is lab-tested for mold, toxins, and impurities to ensure the highest standards of purity and quality.
No machines needed! Simply pop open a MadCup, pour the crystals into cold (or hot) water, stir, and sip.
That said—if you already own a Keurig or Nespresso, you can use your machine to dispense hot water for a warm cup of Mad Coffee.
Yes! MadCups are TSA-approved and travel-friendly. Since all contents are dry, you can carry them easily through airport security.
