MetaBeans Co., Ltd. is a venture company focused on developing environmental technology for the coffee industry. The company, led by CEO Lee Jong-cheol, operates from the Environmental Industry Research Complex in Incheon, South Korea.
The core business revolves around the manufacturing and sale of smoke reduction systems, specifically electrostatic precipitators, designed for coffee roasting machines. These systems address the environmental concerns associated with smoke and odors produced during the coffee roasting process. The company targets coffee roasteries and cafes, offering solutions to mitigate price-related barriers to adoption through initiatives like selling demonstration and prototype units at reduced prices. Beyond its primary product, MetaBeans also lists cyclones and coffee machines as part of its product lineup.
MetaBeans actively engages in the innovation ecosystem, evidenced by its recognition in competitions such as the '2023 Living Lab Eco-Friendly Demand Technology Idea Contest' hosted by the Ulsan Center for Creative Economy & Innovation, where it won the grand prize. The company follows a direct sales model through its official website and a Naver Smart Store, and is expanding its reach by recruiting regional branches and dealerships across South Korea to handle installation and sales.
