Atomo Coffee

About

Atomo Coffee is a Seattle-based startup founded in 2019 that creates beanless, molecular coffee. By reverse-engineering the taste, aroma, and body of traditional coffee using sustainable, upcycled ingredients, Atomo addresses environmental challenges in the coffee industry. The company was co-founded by CEO Andy Kleitsch and CTO Dr. Jarret Stopforth, who bring extensive experience in technology and food science. Atomo's innovative process utilizes extraction technology to transform plant materials like date pits and sunflower seeds into coffee equivalents. Their product lineup includes beanless espresso, beanless coffee grounds, a hybrid blend of traditional Arabica and beanless coffee, and ready-to-drink cold brew. Atomo emphasizes lower acidity, higher antioxidants, and clean caffeine, aiming to replicate all coffee compounds while promoting sustainability. Their products are available at Bluestone Lane locations and select specialty retailers, with plans for broader B2B collaborations in the coffee industry.
