The launch marks the ‘first time operators and consumers have been able to access fully compostable and biodegradable coffee pods in the UK.’ The pods also have a 12-month shelf life to reduce the chance of waste.
The two coffees available are the Ethiopian roast and a decaffeinated coffee from Colombia. The next coffee to come is a Honduran coffee from the mountains around Ocotepeque. Notes Coffee are planning to launch every new coffee in a biodegradable capsule form to complete the line-up.
Fabio Ferreira, Notes Coffee co-founder, said: “Notes’ philosophy is based on using ethically sourced and fairly traded coffee beans for every roast. The materials we use to supply our customers should be no different.
“We are immensely proud to be the first to bring a Nespresso-compatible pod to the UK market, which is fully compostable and biodegradable – our customers don’t need to worry about recycling, their only job is to enjoy a delicious, speciality coffee.”
