Kerbside collection The Podback group is aiming to make recycling easier by having coffee pods collected alongside regular household waste and recycling. Nespresso’s own aluminium pods can be recycled via its scheme, but plenty of compatible pods can’t as they're made of plastic.

Once you’ve had your cup of liquid gold, simply empty the coffee grinds (which are compostable), rinse the pod, and you’re ready for your next cuppa. Take a look at our Starter Pod Star Pack to begin your journey of enjoying reusable coffee pods for your Lavazza coffee machine while caring for the environment. Grinding your own coffee will also give you more flexibility in experimenting with grind size and finding one that works best .Generally speaking, finer grinds will produce a more full bodied espresso as it increases surface area, allowing the hot water to come in contact with more of the coffee. They are made of the highest quality stainless steel, so If you take care of them and wash them after each use, they can last infinitely. Currently, not all materials used can be recycled, nor are all new capsules made from recycled materials. If your product has not arrived after 21 days, please contact us via the contact form so that we can get to the bottom of the matter as quickly as possible!

On a mission to find the tastiest, we tried four pods for Nespresso machines (as this is the most popular type) and one that works with Dolce Gusto machines. For more information and to ensure the podly Reusable Pod for Lavazza is right for you, please read the how to, compatibility guide and faq tabs on this page. The box, insert and wrapping are completely recyclable, so do your bit and make sure you place them in the recycling bin. These need to be composted industrially using your local council’s food waste collection scheme (if available in your area).I'm betting used to properly mixing the coffee and often run my old Lavazza coffee maker twice thru to get a full cup of (dopio size) of excellent coffee. Adding used coffee grounds to your compost has been found to improve soil structure, improve fertility of the soil, provide a source of nitrogen, provide great water retentive qualities, help microorganisms beneficial to plant growth thrive, attract earthworms, help to sustain high temperatures – which in turn kills dangerous pathogens and seeds from weeds and vegetables.

If several people at home are keen coffee drinkers, you could be getting through four or more pods per day, so being able to compost your used pods could cut down on your household waste.

Missing or non delivered parcels need to be reported to us within 30 days within Australia and 60 days internationally. I bought 2 because the metal lid, once in place, reduces the amount of coffee grounds that fit into the pod.
