From our coffees to our plastic free capsules, our speciality plastic free and compostable coffee pod range proves just how good capsule coffee should taste.
They also contain 10% more of the finest speciality Arabica & Robusta coffees than standard Nespresso® capsules too, giving you a wonderful mug of pod coffee each and every time without the guilt! -
Compostable & Biodegradable Coffee Pods
Our Lungo Compostable Coffee Capsules and eco coffee pod range for Nespresso® machines offers a simple plastic-free swap that tastes exceptional. Compatible with Nespresso® original drop-through machines (excl. Expert), they're produced using renewable energy made using waste wood bark from the European paper industry.
Place them in your council food waste bin (or home compost them but this is extremely dependent on optimal composting conditions and presence of the correct micro-organisms). For more info, visit our “Compostable Coffee Capsule FAQ” page. -
Capsule Performance Guaranteed
COMPOSTABLE COFFEE PODS:
Compatible with Nespresso® original domestic drop-through coffee machines (excl. Expert), our compostable coffee pods and capsules can be placed in your food waste collection where they will be processed into compost or liquid fertilizer depending on the facilities used by your local council. For more info, visit our "Compostable Coffee Capsule FAQ" page.
FRESHNESS:
Our oxygen-tight capsules also mean our wonderful range of eco capsule coffees will stay fresh for 12 months, but you'll definitely not wait that long to drink them all up.
CAPSULE PERFORMANCE GUARANTEED:
Our plastic-free coffee capsules perform even better than Aluminium-compatible pods (non-Nespresso®) that are now commonplace, with no water leakage before the coffee begins to extract.
To prove this, the GREAT BRITISH FOOD AWARDS 2022 judging panel confirmed "From a practical standpoint, the pods were very easy to use and worked well in the machine. Sometimes compostable pods go soggy and get stuck in the machine, or add a slightly cardboard taste to the coffee, but we didn’t experience any of these problems." -
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!
General Coffee Pod FAQs
Here are a selection of useful FAQs and coffee pod advice, tips and troubleshooting to help you get the best performance from your Nespresso® machine.

Which Nespresso® machines are your eco capsules compatible with?
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.

Are your capsules best for a ristretto, espresso or lungo?
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! -

How to program a Nespresso Machine for the correct ristretto, espresso & lungo volume
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!
