Love the idea of compostable pods. Coffee quality in my opinion is pretty good but not stellar. Because of the material, sometimes the pods don’t align right in the machine and you have to reload them one or more times or they don’t work right. A few shipments were late. If your priority is compostable pods and you can live with these smaller issues then it’s worth it. Would love to see some improve at going forward though.

Very smooth and rich

This coffee has a great taste. I’m very environmentally concerned and when I found this product it was worth a try. I had stopped using my nespresso because of the pods that end up in our environment . Now I’m using it every day and not feeling guilty!!

I like the coffee and narrowed my favorites down from the very useful sample pack order to my four favorites which I have ordered in quantity.

I appreciate that the pods are compostable as I am not keen on living with a bag of smelly spent pods to ship back in bulk to Nespresso for recycling. And I appreciate that they are less costly as it does add up especially working from home!

Two things that need improvement: the colored paper collar on the pods comes off and gets stuck inside my machine and it’s fiddly to have to scrape it off which I do after each use. Woe to you if you don’t, and then have to scrape it off after it dries.

The second thing is if you order a large number of pods they split-ship your order because they only have one size of shipping carton which holds ten boxes of pods. For a company that prides itself on being environmentally conscious this is nuts: two sets of packaging sent by two delivery trucks? Get a range of box sizes and deliver larger orders in one go.
