Coffee pods were and still are super convenient. Sadly, the plastic and aluminium used by some companies is badly polluting. Being entrepreneurs by heart and skilled in material science, the Moving Beans team went on to research novel materials. Realising that a lot of people love the effortless convenience of coffee capsules, using their extensive knowledge (and love!) of great coffee they’ve focused on finding the highest quality coffee beans available and packaged them in those wonderfully convenient Nespresso-compatible capsules! But that wasn’t all. They also realised that sustainability was becoming an important factor when it comes to single-use coffee capsules and pods – especially since plastic and aluminium capsules are producing huge amounts of waste as they become more and more popular. That’s why they only offer coffee capsules that are completely biodegradable and compostable. Using their science background allowed them to make wonderfully convenient Nespresso-compatible capsules the world’s first and only viable ones that are completely biodegradable and compostable.

Moving Beans are committed to you, as customers and community. They believe in a more sustainable lifestyle, and want to ensure that it remains affordable to all. They also believe in high quality products and offer delicious coffee in compostable pods at an affordable price. Shop from the delicious range here.
