World’s First Bird-Friendly Nespresso compatible coffee pod
Tasting notes: Honey, orange & hazelnuts.
Not one but two…this is the world’s first Bird Friendly® coffee in a Nespresso-compatible pod! Our Honduran Clave De Sol coffee is helping preserve critical habitat for birds and wildlife, fight climate change, protect biodiversity and support farmers committed to conservation and sustainable farming too. All this in one delicious cup.

Award-winning Peruvian Nespresso compatible pod

A favourite among our customers, we buy this coffee at the price dictated by our farmers in Peru’s northern mountains. No commodity market influences. No market speculation. Simple, direct, traceable and sustainable for people and planet.

Ethiopian Forest Coffee Nespresso compatible pod
Tasting notes: Bright, fruity aromas & citrusy flavours
This shade-grown coffee is nurtured under the canopy of huge ancient trees in the wild forests of Ethiopia’s Oromia region by a 3rd generation farming family on wild coffee plants sourced from the Choché forest, which is considered the very birthplace of coffee.
Highlights: Organic. Forest Coffee.
Bolivian Aymara Coffee Project Nespresso compatible pod

Swiss Water Decaf Nespresso compatible pod
Tasting notes: Full bodied & chocolatey
We launched the UK’s first Swiss Water® Decaf pod in 2017 and it’s been a top seller ever since. Grown organically in Peru, it is naturally decaffeinated without the paint-stripper solvents commonly used in over 50% of the world’s decafs. It’s so good you won’t know it’s decaf!

Sumatran Shere Khan Nespresso compatible pod
Tasting notes: Round, syrupy body with vanilla notes.
This wonderful coffee is grown under the shade of tropical forests by a women’s coffee cooperative in Sumatra’s Gayo Mountains, also home to birds, monkeys and Sumatra’s famous but critically endangered ‘Shere Khan’ tigers.

Santa Isabel Guatemala Compostable Coffee Pod
