<b>COLOMBIA</b> - WORLD’S FIRST SAIL SHIP COFFEE POD FOR NESPRESSO MACHINES

We’ve created a world-first in our sail ship coffee pod. Filled with organic, Fairtrade coffee grown by four indigenous communities in Colombia’s Sierra Nevada region, this coffee was transported to Europe on a 1920s sail ship, saving a huge three and half thousand kilograms of CO2 versus a container ship (the equivalent emissions of an eighteen thousand kilometre car journey).

<i>Tasting notes: Caramel & hazelnuts
Highlights: Organic. Women in Coffee. FairTrade. Sailship.</i>

<b>HONDURAS</b> - WORLD’S FIRST BIRD-FRIENDLY NESPRESSO COMPATIBLE COFFEE POD

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.

<i>Tasting notes: Honey, orange & hazelnuts.
Highlights: Organic. Women in Coffee. Bird Friendly® certified.</i>

<b>SUMATRAN</b> SHERE KHAN NESPRESSO COMPATIBLE POD

<i>Tasting notes: Round, syrupy body with vanilla notes.
Highlights: Organic. Shade Grown. Women in Coffee.</i>

<b>GUATEMALA</b> SANTA ISABEL COMPOSTABLE COFFEE POD

Not content with growing this shade-grown coffee organically, 4th generational family farmers the Kellers are growing to Biodynamic standards, creating the entire farm’s organic compost and natural fertilisers on site. They also have a farm-based doctor & educational programme for workers & their families.

<i>Tasting notes: Bold, clean and fruity notes
Highlights: Organic & Biodynamic. Education & medical programme.</i>

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 that also protect the Abyssinian Blue-Winged Goose, which inspired our whole brand!

Compatible with ‘Traditional Drop Through’ Nespresso® machines, our compostable capsules deliver exceptional speciality coffees each and every brew, without the guilt. So models such as the Nespresso® Pixie machine, the Essenza, CitiZ and Inissia, for example. They are not designed for the new Vertuo machines that Nespresso offer, which take more of a UFO shaped capsule.

To fully appreciate all the complex, and intense flavours our capsule coffees deliver, we’d recommend you first drink them without adding any milk, so as black Espresso or Lungo coffees. Shock horror for those who love a milky coffee, but once you try it you’ll soon see why so many people are getting more into their coffee these days as they discover what coffee really should taste like! You see, to achieve a consistent taste many (most!) capsule companies simply dark roast their beans as it’s the only way they can ensure their coffee tastes the same each time. But that means the coffee generally doesn’t taste, well…good.

>> Enjoy an eco-espresso!If you love a good espresso, then try our Ethiopian Yirgacheffe coffee capsules. Fragrant and clean, you’ll love the subtle notes of fruity spice with hints of chocolate. This espresso is more about enjoying a complex mix of flavours than a bitter, dark hit of coffee.

>> For lungo lovers and milk fans: If you like a long coffee or a good bit of steamed and frothy milk in your coffee, then our Lungo eco pods, or our Swiss Water decaf pods or our Organic Peruvian eco coffee capsulesare for you (although our Ethiopian capsules also taste great with a splash!).

Don’t put too much milk in there though, or you’ll mask the more subtle flavours and it’ll be more akin to high street coffee, aka warmed milk hehehe…

Our Peruvian will give a smooth lungo style drink with hints of cocoa. Weird to think you’ll taste all of these flavours in a coffee isn’t it…but that’s what a lighter roast and quality coffee bean will bring to the table, versus overly-roasted beans. Our Swiss Water Decaf coffee capsules will give you a slightly indulgent lungo without the caffeine kick. Whichever you choose, have a lovely guilt-free mug of the good stuff!

If you're after bean and ground brewing tips and tricks then our coffee brewing guides cover how to create the perfect mug of coffee each and every time.

New to our eco Nespresso Compatible Pods? Or if you're just wanting to impove your coffee pod taste and brewing then we definitely recommend re-programming & cleaning your Nespresso® machine so visit our Nespresso® compatible pod brewing guide for top tips for creating the perfect mug of Blue Goose eco coffee pods each and every time!

This is vital to get the very best Blue Goose cuppa! Your machine comes pre-programmed to deliver a Nespresso-capsule-specific amount of water but our capsules are best enjoyed as a 25ml Ristretto or a 35ml Espresso, so you’ll want to reset your Nespresso® machine as the coffee to water ratio is key to achieving the best possible coffee from our eco capsule range and re-calibrating your Nespresso® is therefore really important. We’d therefore heartily recommend you read our Nespresso® Hints & Tips blog post to set yourself up for wonderful capsule coffee every time!
