There are a few synthetic coffee startups that claim to have a lower carbon impact, though it's hard to tell if this is just marketing guff.

For example: https://atomocoffee.com/pages/beanless-coffee

That looks a lot like meatless meats - random, I mean scientifically engineered, mix of miscellaneous plant products with caffeine and some other ingredients to make it taste like coffee.

At that point, I'd rather drink Coke.

Yummy. Can't wait to enjoy my fake cup of coffee as I snack on my roasted grasshoppers.

Hey, maybe for lunch I'll have an Impossible Whopper!

The future is freaking awesome!

Hey, that's the stuff my (great-)grandparents drank, during and after the world wars! They didn't additionally "upcycle" date seeds, whatever upcycling means in that context, though. :D

Personally I would just switch to pure chicory root or wheat coffee before using such an overpriced "premium mocca faux". $17 for less than a litre of "coffee" is quite the price tag.
