Your next cup of coffee may come from a lab - ISRAEL21c
Israeli biotechnology company Pluri (formerly Pluristem) is developing lab-cultivated coffee as part of its new PluriAgtech arm dedicated to innovative food technology. The companys approach involves using bioreactor technology to cultivate coffee cells with minimal environmental impact. The process begins by extracting coffee cells from the plants beans and leaves, which are then placed into bioreactors to grow coffee slivers. This method requires only 2% of the water typically used in traditional coffee farming and allows for the preservation of endangered coffee species.

Startup Sees Coffee From Cells As Future of Sustainable Drinking
Pluri, a company that has been working on stem cells for medical use for over two decades, is now focusing on sustainable coffee production. The company is developing a method to cultivate cells from coffee leaves and beans, which could significantly reduce the land and water required for coffee production. The cells are placed in a bioreactor, where they reproduce. Every 21 days, a portion of the cells is removed, dried, and roasted into coffee powder. Pluri is currently still working on finding the best kind of coffee variety for cell cultivation and is also seeking approval from the US Food and Drugs Administration.

Future Cup of Joe: Will You Be Drinking Cell-Based Coffee Soon?
Israeli biotech startup Pluri has launched a cell-based coffee business to address the climate challenges facing traditional coffee production. The company extracts cells from the coffee plant and expands them in a 3D bioreactor, creating a product that looks like coffee grains. The process uses 98% less water and 95% less land than traditional coffee crops, and also reduces greenhouse gas emissions. Pluri plans to spin out its cell-based coffee project into a subsidiary focused on a B2B model. The company is currently seeking regulatory approval for its product.
