My kids gave me a Vertuo and I'm interested in trying your pods. How about designing an insert for them to be used with a Nespresso Vertuo machine.
Unfortunately we can't make Vertuo pods due to patent restrictions which expire in 2027.
Decided to try Woken because of the compostable pods. And I love the taste of them too.
Dark roast selection was not quite strong enough —but tasty.
Nice flavor, rich taste. Really enjoyed drinking my morning latte.
Love the coffee and love that it can be composted.
First-time customer. Loved the idea of compostable capsules, but the coffees in the pack were generally weak and flat though better intensity #9 was much better. Future orders I would go darker. Have used about ten of the capsules so far and one end-cap came off in our machine and was a little difficult to fish out. Hope they don’t ‘gum up’ my machine… I usually have two Lungos in one cup for my morning fix so I am now “mixing” one Woken with one Nespresso — works so far!
As an espresso lover and admittedly addict I so wanted to love these. The pods seem great although I didn't have enough time to look at how long it takes them to break down, I have to say that the espresso had some kind of a stale taste. Also no crema really. Not for me!
These pods work great with my Nespresso coffee maker. The coffee is fresh and very smooth. I recommend Woken to anyone who loves a good cuppa coffee.
Love Woken! Thanks for having high quality espresso in home compostable pods. ✨🙌
I received the order within just a few days. I liked the idea of compostable pods however, for my taste, the coffee is too weak. It doesn’t have an espresso flavor, or even a dark roast flavor. For reference, I like a espresso or Lavazza
I don't get the negative reviews about taste. I am an espresso addict and lived abroad in Spain and Italy for years and have high expectations. I find the Woken flavor deep and not overly bitter. I like Nespresso pods but not more than Woken in flavor or depth. I also never owned a Nespresso machine until Woken because I really couldn't stand the idea of the little bits of plastic every single day.
Agree with other reviewers Woken please eliminate all plastic in packaging as well.
Also agree with a reviewer that from time to time a capsule will leak grounds, but I haven't seen it that often and I was still able to use the pod successfully. The composting and flavor far outweigh the occasional convenience IMO?
Thank you Woken because you filled a product need, you're caffeinating me and my family, and reducing plastic waste. That's amazing and I hope you are all successful as a result!
Thank you for providing this quality coffee in a sustainable method.
The price relative to the quality is good. Nespresso is still superior in taste at a higher price point.
Lungo pods from woken makes a great cup of black coffee. Smooth. I use the long pour option on my Nespresso machine and use the middle temperature setting. A lungo at the middle temperature setting makes a smooth cup of black coffee and is much better than an “Americano” which is usually bitter at the cafés that I have frequented. I despise the beverage called “Americano”. I love Lungos with crema at the top. I also like double shot cappuccinos made “dry” with only a 2oz of the steamed milk and then all of the froth spooned on top and then sprinkled with raw sugar crystals on to of the froth that forms a thin sweet crust on top. Yum.
I have been waiting two weeks and still no delivery. It is stuck in Memphis. In this world of quick delivery, This will probably keep me from buying again.
I am thrilled to find a company who has compostable pods and equally as thrilled with the customer service.
I love everything about Woken, the coffee is great and the fact it recycles at home
