Pocket coffee husk notebook by The Urban Nordic is a compact, sustainable and practical mini notebook designed for quick notes, ideas, lists, reminders, travel writing, sketches and everyday use. Sized at 9 x 14 cm, this notebook is easy to carry, easy to store and useful for work, school, travel, events and gifting.
The cover is made using coffee husk paper, giving the notebook a natural texture and a strong material story. Coffee husk is a by-product created during coffee processing. When coffee cherries are processed to extract coffee beans, several outer layers such as skin, pulp, mucilage, parchment and husk are separated. In dry coffee processing, the dried outer layers are removed together as coffee husk.
Coffee is one of the world’s most consumed beverages, and coffee processing creates a significant amount of by-product. Research shows that coffee production can generate around 40–45% waste through different stages of processing. Coffee husk itself can represent about 12% of the coffee cherry on a dry-weight basis. This means that behind every cup of coffee, there is also a material stream that can be reused more intelligently.
Coffee husk contains lignocellulosic fibre, including cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. These plant-based fibres can be cleaned, processed and blended into pulp for paper-based applications. In notebook covers, coffee husk paper gives a warm, earthy and slightly textured appearance. It creates a cover that looks natural and different from ordinary paper notebooks.
The story behind coffee husk paper is especially meaningful because it can support better use of agricultural by-products. Instead of treating coffee husk only as leftover waste, it can become a raw material for useful products. When coffee husk is collected from coffee farmers, estates, processors or cooperatives, it can help create an additional income opportunity from a material that may otherwise have limited commercial value.
This makes the pocket coffee husk notebook more than just stationery. It is a small example of circular design: coffee is grown and processed, the beans are used for drinking, and the remaining husk is given a second life as a paper cover. This helps reduce waste, encourages better material use and creates more value from the same crop.
The 9 x 14 cm pocket size makes this notebook highly practical. It can be carried in a pocket, handbag, backpack, travel pouch, office drawer or desk organizer. It is compact enough to keep close at all times, yet useful enough for everyday writing. Whether you need to note down meeting points, shopping lists, travel reminders, creative ideas or quick tasks, this mini notebook is easy to use wherever you are.
Inside, the notebook has 64 ruled pages made from 80 GSM FSC Certified paper. The ruled layout is ideal for neat writing, short notes, task lists, school notes, meeting points, travel planning, brainstorming and daily reminders. The 80 GSM paper offers a smooth and reliable writing experience for regular use with pencils, ball pens and most gel pens.
The FSC Certified inner paper adds credibility to the notebook’s sustainability story. It supports the use of responsibly sourced forest-based paper for the inside pages, while the coffee husk paper cover brings an agricultural waste-based material element to the outside. Together, these details make the notebook a more thoughtful alternative to ordinary pocket notebooks.
The notebook is available in packs of 3, 5, 10 and 25 pcs, making it suitable for personal use, gifting and bulk orders. A pack of 3 or 5 works well for daily notes, school, travel or small gifting. A pack of 10 or 25 is ideal for offices, teams, workshops, conferences, classrooms, welcome kits, event giveaways and corporate gifting.
