Dzung Tuan Nguyen is a MTEI student who wanted to start a business by up-cycling products, ultimately bringing a new life to waste. While cleaning his french press, his curiosity of repurposing coffee grounds lead him to the creation of his first product, Kohikub. Kohikub is a mug that is made from a mix of spent coffee grounds and repurposed plastic bottles. “I’ve had a lot of fun playing with this.

Who knows whats next?!” - Dzung Tuan Nguyen
