Product description Welcome to the Blue Goose...a new breed of coffee capsulePerforming just like any Original Line Nespresso capsule, place our plastic-free, compostable coffee capsules & lid into your council food waste bin and they’ll be compost within 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 conscienceNick and I wanted to match our 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! Sip by sip, you are also helping us support water and wildlife projects in our origins.Our packagingOur 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 & supportEach order includes 40 oxygen-tight compostable & biodegradable 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!Lex & Nick, Blue Goose Founders Ingredients 100% arabica coffee

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!

Good idea but lacked depth flavour
Love the ida of compostable capsules, but I have not yet found any that compare well to the original brand. wanted to like these, but they lack the depth and richness I like in coffee.

Very nice coffee, good aesthetic design
Very nice coffee. Comes in lovely, recyclable packaging and the pods are not as unattractive as other compostable ones I’ve used so I don’t mind them in my dispenser (not a massive concern but hey!)This pack is a great way to try their range. I have enjoyed all of them, and they are all different. The Ethiopian being the strongest and the decaf obviously the lightest (imo)Quality is comparable to Nespresso own, or Starbucks pods. The pods have had no issues in my machine. Plan to repurchase my faves and use these are go to.

They seem to be getting better...
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.

Great eco friendly pods!
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!

Quite weak and watery
While I loved the idea of having compostable coffee cups, the flavour just isn’t comparable to the nespresso originals. Quite weak and not as rich sadly :( wont be reorfering

Tasty! Packaging, less so.
Lovely coffee. Great flavour. Came with 3 layers of packaging....not eco enough in my opinion. A label on Blue Goose box would suffice.
