Taste Notes
Nutty Milk Chocolate, Biscuit
Brewing
Our capsules contain freshly roasted, specialty-grade coffee and are ground intentionally for a longer extraction time to achieve the best possible flavour profile. As a general rule, we recommend aiming for 25g -30g for a short coffee and around 60g - 80g for a long coffee, although everyone's taste is different and we recommend developing a recipe that suits you.
Sustainability
30,000 aluminium and plastic capsules go into landfill every minute, regardless of their recycling credentials. Our pods are plastic-free, plant-based and home compostable to minimise their environmental impact regardless of how they are disposed of. Our capsules can be placed in your food waste collection where they will be processed into compost or liquid fertiliser depending on the facilities used by your local council. Alternatively, you can place your pods in your home compost heap with a slightly longer breakdown time.
Compatibility
Our Capsules are compatible with all Original Nespresso machines.

Grind Information
Please note, our espresso grind is suitable for most home coffee machines. If you have a commercial grade coffee machine, E.g. Linea Mini, then please add an order note in your basket, requesting commercial espresso grind.
We would always recommend that you use a grinder at home in order to achieve the grind suitable for your particular brewing equipment, but we appreciate that this is not always possible, so we do offer our coffee as ground. We offer grind options that we think would achieve the best results from the numerous variations of machines and equipment that are available to consumers, but we cannot guarantee that our ground options will work with every unique set up.
