BS1 Espresso Capsules

About this coffee

Our much loved BS1 Espresso, but in a tiny pod made from 100% compostable wood shavings.

Our BS1 Espresso was designed to be an easy drinking and sweet coffee. The BS1 is built for a flat white or cappuccino, but still enjoyed as an espresso. The flavour starts out with a strong milk chocolate body, followed by a sticky caramel sweetness. On the finish there is a juicy little red fruit kick. This coffee was formed right in the heart of our city, for Bristol and for everyone.

We’ve joined the pod gang. It’s been a long time coming and we didn’t want to do it half heartily. POD waste is a real issue, and we didn’t want to contribute to this. Even the compostable capsules on the market have an allowable amount of bio plastic and focus only on the output side of the chain. We wanted to take a look at the input side, and what was making up these capsules. It’s important to be compostable, but it’s even more important to use sustainable materials to create this compostability. That’s why we are launching our BS1 Espresso, Brazil Classic and Colombia El Carmen decaf in pods made 100% from wood shavings. They are held together in a matrix of starch and can literally be thrown into your garden to decompose and go back to nature where it all started. Coffee grounds are great for you garden anyway, so think of them as little nutrient bombs!
