More Sustainable Mornings with Compostable Nespresso Compatible Capsules from Löfbergs

Sustainability and resource consumption have been in the minds of the public for many years now. We care about where our garbage goes; we care about how much energy we consume. Caring about the planet is easy, but living comfortably and doing what’s best for the planet is not always the easiest balance to achieve.

Many people in the coffee industry have been very vocal about trying to innovate new ways to enjoy the best cup of coffee possible, while also having a small global footprint. One such group is Löfbergs, Swedish roasters that are making 100% compostable Nespresso compatible capsules.

This is a major change in a more environmentally conscious direction. Instead of tossing your used capsules in the trash, or even the recycling, they can go straight into the compost. They will decompose along with all of your fruits and veggies, just like how used coffee grinds would! We at Espresso Planet have tested the capsules out for compatibility with Nespresso machines and they work just as any capsule would; there’s not even a functional downside! Now you can have the ease of a capsule, with the minimal environmental impact of ground coffee.

Löfbergs goes even 1 step further than just providing compostable capsules. They use organic beans and only buy their beans from certified farms, which helps maintain practices that are better for the environment and better ensures the livelihoods of the farmers and their community. They also participate in the Greenhouse Gas Emissions Disclosure, where they show the benefits of conscious growing and roasting.

We currently do not have Löfbergs products in stock.
