They are also oxygen-sealed to keep our wonderful coffees fresh for 12 months, but you’ll definitely not wait that long to drink them all up!
- GROWER PREMIUMS & CHARITY DONATIONS: Farmed sustainably and in harmony with the environment, the premium we pay our growers for their highest-quality speciality coffee beans allows them to invest in their livelihoods, families and communities. Sip by sip you will also be helping us support water and wildlife projects in our origins, including one that protects the Abyssinian Blue-Winged Goose, which is the inspiration for our range and brand!
Welcome to the Blue Goose…a new breed of coffee capsule
Performing just like any Original Line Nespresso® capsule, place our certified Plastic-Free, compostable coffee capsules into your council food waste bin to be processed into compost or liquid fertilizer depending on your local council’s food waste processing facilities.
Aluminium & plastic coffee capsules take between 200-500 years to degrade in landfill. According to Nespresso®, just 21% of theirs are recycled which means hundreds of millions are thrown into black bins each year, headed for incinerators or landfill. That’s an incredible legacy per cup, so follow the Blue Goose to enjoy the welcome lift that comes from drinking delicious coffee while playing your part for our planet!
Coffee with a conscience
Nick and I wanted to match our eco-credentials with the finest coffee capsule experience which is why we our pay smallholder farming cooperatives and growers a premium beyond the Fairtrade Minimum Price for their speciality grade Arabica coffees. This greater income helps our growers build their livelihoods so their families and local communities can thrive into the future while their amazing speciality coffee allows us all to appreciate just how good capsule coffee should taste, with no aluminium or plastic capsules in sight!
Sip by sip, you are also helping us support water and wildlife projects in our origins, from Wellwishers Ethiopia to the Bale National Park Conservation Project.
Our packaging
Our compostable coffee capsules for Nespresso® machines are manufactured using renewable energy and our recyclable packaging is made from sustainably-sourced FSC® cardboard, printed using vegetable inks. We’ve even secured our 10-capsule cartons with plastic-free glue, which we worked hard with our supplier to achieve!
Your order & support
You’ll receive 40 oxygen-tight compostable coffee pods in a postal pack which also makes a lovely ready-made gift, especially at Christmas time if you are wondering what to give your favourite coffee lover (it’ a fab Secret Santa coffee present too!)
As a small business, we really value you, our customers, so always respond personally, and very much hope you enjoy each and every cup!

This is one of the first reviews received for our Eco Coffee Pod Gift, which is lovely to hear!
“I am really impressed with the quality of the coffee and love the fact that the capsules are biodegradable. I love the simple packaging too. The box itself is beautifully designed. My husband has been very complimentary about the coffee he has tried so far – went down a storm with my father-in-law too today so looks like you’ve won our family over! They’ll be great Xmas presents for family and friends.”
Nick and I hope you love them just as much!
Thanks

Great coffee responsibly packaged
I’ve been a coffee drinker for, well probably far too long now, and I think that these Blue Goose Eco-Pods are a great buy. I’ve seen some reviews on miss-brews and honestly the only time I’ve had an issue is when I don’t do a pre-brew shot to wake my machine up, but then it can be temperamental if not treated nicely in the mornings, like me.
As for coffee quality, I don’t have any complaints. All 4 coffees have flavor profiles matching their descriptions and I’ll even admit it…gulp…I even like the decaf 😐
A while ago I moved from standard cups to aluminum because I could clean and recycle them, which is a lot of work, then I found companies offering eco-pods and I bit on that bait, some are good and some are, well a bit too environmentally conscious while forgetting about the fact they are selling coffee.
Blue Goose is great though. I can recycle everything that the coffee was shipped in, I can chuck my pods in the compost bin for a pain-less cleanup/compost, and I get great coffee, what’s not to love?
Highly recommend these if you’re in the market for good coffee and want to do a bit better for the environment, I even like the gift pack simply because it fills up my 40 pod coffee drawer and lets me pick the mood of coffee I’m in that day.
So, go get some Blue Goose pods and start brewing!

5.0 out of 5 stars They seem to be getting better… (10 April 2020)
I love that this company has gone through such an effort to make their whole operation, from beginning to end, as sustainable and ecologically decent as possible.
Until now, my only slight regret was that the espresso was not quite strong enough for my taste. I thought it was a limitation of the Nespresso machine. However, the latest batch seems to really hit the spot!
This is some of the best coffee around!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great eco friendly pods! (4 February 2020)
I just wanted to say I’ve just had my first cup of Blue Goose using my Nespresso Lattissima machine and I loved it!
So impressed. I spent ages researching coffee machines and nearly didn’t get a pod one as I saw so many bad reviews of compostable pods (but I desperately wanted an eco friendly option). Great quality, smooth blend, and I can sleep easy knowing I didn’t add another pod to landfill. Thank you so much!
