Coffee — A material that gives new life to your pods

Before becoming a shoe, Moka is a residue. More precisely, coffee grounds. A by-product widely found in our consumption habits — notably through single-use pods.

At Zèta, we do not see it as waste, but as a resource.

From coffee to shoe

The coffee grounds are collected from a Nespresso sorting centre in Portugal. They are first dehydrated in ovens, then blended with a water-based PU. This dark paste is subsequently spread onto a cotton canvas before being cut and assembled by hand.

The resulting texture is supple, resistant, and subtly textured. It is this deep brown material that gives Moka its name.

Locally rooted, designed to last

Crafted in Portugal, this material contains:

15% coffee, 50% cotton, 35% water-based PU.

It is assembled onto our trainers by our local artisans, with the exact same high standards as for our other styles.
