Caffè Vergnano will be present on the shelves of Italian grocery stores with the Èspresso1882 line of compostable capsules compatible with Nespresso domestic machines and with Èspresso1882 TRÈ machines.
The new capsules represent Caffè Vergnano’s response to the issue of the amount of waste resulting from the growing consumption of portioned coffee. While the portioned market indeed represents a great growth opportunity, it is also true that the environmental impact resulting from the use of capsules can be greater compared to the consumption of mocha or pod coffee.
The new Espresso 1882 compostables will replace the existing range on the shelves: the packages currently in distribution will be gradually replaced with the new compostable line.
“We have always believed in the capsule segment, anticipating trends and being the first to launch the Nespresso compatible capsule, today the market leader”, says Franco Vergnano, CEO of Caffè Vergnano, “From the beginning we have focused on innovation. Today even more so with a concrete project to protect the environment”.
The capsules will be the first on the market to be “OK Compost” certified by Vinçotte (an internationally recognised agency) and able to be disposed of in the organic bin without the need to separate the casing from the coffee.
The Èspresso 1882 range is available in 4 versions: Arabica, Cremoso, Intenso and Dec, plus the Espresso macchiato product.
