Coffeesai Overview
Coffeesai is addressing the challenges of traditional coffee production, such as climate change and unsustainable practices, by offering a sustainable alternative that conserves resources while delivering high-quality coffee. Their technology utilizes coffee-plant leaves to efficiently produce the coffee equivalent of 1,000 trees in just three weeks from a single cell batch. By leveraging Pluri's proprietary 3D cell expansion technology, Coffeesai crafts coffee through cellular agriculture. This method enables the efficient and sustainable production of real coffee products, promising both excellent taste and quality while significantly reducing environmental impact.

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.

Coffee Is in Danger. Could Salvation for Caffeine Addicts Come From the Lab?
Americans alone drink 400 million cups of coffee a day. But with climate change wreaking havoc on crops, scientists are starting to produce coffee from cell cultures grown in a bioreactor – which they believe does amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world
Israeli biotech company Pluri, listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange and Nasdaq, has branched out from animal cell culture for therapeutic purposes to cell-culture coffee for drinking purposes. The company has identified the opportunity in the wake of climate change wreaking havoc on coffee crops. Pluris process starts with isolating cells from a chosen coffee strain and growing them using the companys proprietary 3-D expansion technology. The company aims to produce decent coffee in the lab and significantly reduce the crops global water and carbon footprint.

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.

Real coffee... without the beans? Pluri deploys plant cell culture to futureproof coffee supply chain
Israeli cell therapy specialist Pluri is exploring the use of plant cell culture to grow coffee in bioreactors, a method that could help address the expected shortfall in coffee supply due to climate change. The company plans to spin out a plant cell-derived coffee business, PluriAgtech, as a new subsidiary. The technology involves growing plant cells in bioreactors using sugar as the primary feedstock. Pluri believes it can produce coffee at cost parity and in a timely manner. The company plans to partner with coffee players to take its products to market.
