About Mokable
Mokable (pronounced “Moke-Ah-Bull”) is a standalone category that tackles two pressing issues head-on: the inefficient use of coffee beans and the sustainability challenges within the coffee industry. While traditional coffee preparation discards up to 70% of its aroma and flavour, Mokable aims to change that narrative by transforming whole coffee beans into a much more palatable micro-ground form that captures every rich note and aromatic nuance. By blending premium specialty coffee beans with cocoa butter, Mokable achieves a smooth, versatile texture that shines in both sweet and savoury dishes and cocktails.
