About Our Pods
EXPLORE THE RANGE
Part of our mission as a coffee company is to create an accessible specialty coffee experience, without any unneccessary impact on the environment. When developing our pods, the holy grail was pod that you can pop in your own compost, food waste, or even in your plant pots!
We have a great range of coffees in pods to choose from - find out more about each of them below. We think they're especially good when brewed with the OPAL Pod Machine - designed specifically for specialty coffee capsules. Find out more about the OPAL here.
Rwanda - Rwamatamu
Home Compostable Coffee Pods
Rwamatamu is a new way to enjoy bright and juicy coffee in a pod - the kind of which you'd typically only get from a pour-over brew. It comes to us via our most direct relationship to date - one that started out in our very own Bedford St. Coffee when Bernice (pictured) was working as a barista while studying at Teesside University. You can also brew Rwamatamu the old fashioned way here.
We think that Rwamatamu is best enjoyed as a slightly longer brew. Try a longer 80-100ml brew to let the coffee open up and show off all of its complexity. Of course, you can always go for a traditional espresso-style shot of 35-40ml, for a bit more punch.
The Rich Roast
Home Compostable Coffee Pods
The Rich Roast is the ideal choice for a coffee pod: bold and punchy, it's proof that good things come in small packages. It's our take on a dark roast, hailing from Colombia's Planadas region. Its whole bean option is a two star Great Taste Award winner!
We recommend a 35-40ml shot to replicate a traditional espresso, or a longer 80-90ml brew if you really want to savour it.
Sparkling Water Decaf
Home Compostable Coffee Pods
Our Sparkling Water Decaf was a must when creating our pods: with all the flavour and none of the caffeine, it's a tasty Peruvian coffee through and through. In fact, its whole-bean counterpart is one of our best selling coffees, and a Great Taste Award winner! Buy beans here.
We recommend a 35-40ml shot to replicate a traditional espresso, or a longer 80-90ml brew if you really want to savour it.
Yes! Our pods are truly home compostable, which means they don't need to be sent to an industrial compost facility. When you're done brewing, there are several options to dispose of your coffee pods. As they're full of nitrogen-rich coffee grounds, they're ideal for the garden.
Pop them in your compost or dig them into plant pots or raised beds - whatever you choose to do, they'll be gone in six months. Read more here.
Our specialty coffee pods are are made from biopolymers and organic matter such as cereals. They're sourced locally, when possible, from the fields around the Vegeplast manufacturing plant in the south of France. VegeCap pods do not contain any petrol-based plastic nor BTA or PFC.
Our coffee pods are Nespresso® compatible, so they're great with a huge range of machines (including the OPAL). You could even take a box of them with you to hotels, or to relatives who might need to up their coffee game!
It takes just six months for our coffee pods to decompose in your home compost. We suggest having a ratio of about 1/3 'wet' materials (fruit and veg scraps, grass cuttings, garden waste) and 2/3 'dry' waste (dry grass, potting soil, dried leaves, eggshells etc). The pods have been certified as 'OK Home Compostable' by TUV Austria.

We do indeed! Whether it's the Rich Roast, our Sparkling Water Decaf, or a bright and juicy option from Rwanda, our home compostable pods are the easiest way to enjoy our coffee yet.
