Designed for Original Line Nespresso® capsule machines, you’ll love our plastic-free eco coffee pods filled with ‘Best Buy’ rated speciality coffee from Ethiopia!
- ‘BEST BUY’ RATED TASTE EXPERIENCE: From coffee to eco coffee capsules, our new Blue Goose single-origin speciality coffees takes us even closer to our aim of proving just how good capsule coffee *should* taste, especially as they contain 10% more coffee than standard Nespresso® capsules. Don’t take our word for it though as our Ethiopian Yirgacheffe’s bright, sweet aromatics and flavours earned it a ‘Best Buy’ award in Which? magazine’s May 2019 eco-friendly coffee pod test!
- COMPOSTABLE COFFEE PODS: You’ll love Blue Goose Coffee capsules. Compatible with Nespresso® original domestic drop-through coffee machines (excl. Expert) they can be placed in your food waste collection where they will be processed into compost or liquid fertilizer within around 12 weeks depending on the facilities used by your local council. For more info, visit our “Compostable Coffee Capsule FAQ” page.
- SINGLE-ORIGIN SPECIALITY ARABICA COFFEE PODS: Ethiopia is the birthplace of coffee, with the terroir of the famous coffee region of Yirgacheffe particularly famous for its floral notes of jasmine, so a true Yirgacheffe is a real treat to savour. Our speciality-graded Arabica coffee is sourced from the village of Yirgacheffe itself, grown as ‘garden coffee’ in small lots at an altitude of between 1700-1900 meters.
- CAPSULE PERFORMANCE: Our new eco coffee pods made from wood bark perform even better than Aluminium-compatible pods (non-Nespresso®) that are now commonplace, with no water leakage before the coffee begins to extract. Our oxygen-sealed capsules also mean our wonderful coffees will stay fresh for 12 months, but you’ll definitely not wait that long to drink them all up!
- GROWER PREMIUMS & CHARITY DONATIONS: Farmed sustianably 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 that also protect the Abyssinian Blue-Winged Goose, which inspired our whole brand!
Welcome to the Blue Goose…a new breed of coffee capsule
Performing just like any ‘Original Line’ Nespresso® capsule, place our plastic-free, compostable eco coffee pods & lid into your council food waste bin and they’ll be processed into compost or liquid fertilizer within around 12 weeks, unlike Aluminium & plastic coffee capsules that take 200-500 years to degrade in landfill (according to Nespresso®, just 21% of theirs are recycled so in 2016 that means approximately 268 million were thrown into landfill or burnt for energy!).
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 coffee pods eco-credentials with the finest capsule coffee experience. So we naturally selected Speciality grade Arabica coffee, for which we pay our smallholder farming cooperatives and growers a premium beyond the Fairtrade Minimum Price.
Not only does this greater income help our growers build their livelihoods so their families and local communities can thrive into the future, but their amazing speciality coffee allows us all to appreciate just how good capsule coffee should taste, with no aluminium or plastic capsule in sight thanks to our eco coffee capsules!
Sip by sip, you are also helping us support water and wildlife projects in our origins.
Our packaging
Our eco coffee capsules are manufactured using renewable energy and all our recyclable packaging is printed using vegetable inks and made from sustainably-sourced cardboard.
Your order & support
Each order includes 40 oxygen-tight compostable & biodegradable eco coffee pods so will sit nicely in your preferred capsule holder, staying fresh thanks to their 12-month shelf-life. As a small business, we really value you, our customers, so always respond personally.
We hope you enjoy each and every cup!

Superb coffee – and no plastic!
Wasn’t sure how these would work in the machine as other pods claiming to be compostable/ biodegradable sometimes haven’t lived up to their claims, but this worked brilliantly and is an excellent cup of coffee. Love that I’m also not throwing something else into landfill!

So pleased I have found compostable coffee capsules that work!
I am really pleased to have found these and delighted that they work so well in my nespresso machine. I was also impressed with the packaging, which is all recyclable / compostable cardboard.
I have just ordered the other 2 coffees in the range so hope to find the flavour I like the best.
Well done Blue Goose for a great product – eco and tasty! 🙂

Great concept, and great tasting coffee
I love the concept of compostable coffee capsules. I feel it is better for you too.
These pods work brilliantly and it is very good tasting coffee. I will order again. I will have to anyway because I use them at work and some of my colleagues like them too!

Lovely coffee, pods the work reliably
Unlike some I’ve tried these pods are properly compatible with the machine and work every time. The coffee tastes great too 🙂

A recyclable option for my Nespresso maching
Only had one cup so far but liked the flavour. Happy to find a recyclable option for my old Nespresso machine as I was very uncomfortable with the aluminium and plastic capsules.

Fantastic tasting coffee
A much fuller coffee aroma than any capsule I’ve tried previously… and I’ve tried a few!
Any capsule I’ve tried before tends to sacrifice a little flavour for the milkiness of the froth… not these, you still get a lovely rich (but not overly strong) coffee taste and nice foamy froth to boot. Perfect!
The taste and eco-friendly nature of the product are enough to warrant the premium price.
Will purchase again.

Switched from Nespresso
I’ve been using for a few weeks, used to use Nespresso or LOR but difficult to recycle and so was looking for a more eco friendly alternative. Really love the coffee and that I can dispose of in the compost bin,

Delicious & compostable – really pleased.
Thrilled to have found really delicious guilt free capsules. This coffee didn’t last long – really nice! Nicer than other compostable ones I have found & didn’t come in irritating plastic wrap. Also I emailed a question & excellent customer service.

Delicious tasting Ethiopian blend capsules.
Really love these capsules. Bought the Ethiopian blend. Gives a smooth-tasting espresso shot – not quite as strong as I am used to but almost.
