How are our new and improved pods made?

At Volcano, we believe great coffee should not come at the expense of the planet. That’s why we’ve redesigned our compostable coffee pods to ensure the ultimate balance between functionality, taste and sustainability. Discover the new better taste, crafted with care and with no compromise on compostability 

Designed for Ultimate Freshness  

Freshness is the key to an exceptional cup of coffee. Oxygen exposure can quickly degrade the quality of coffee, leading to a dull and stale brew. That’s why our innovative coffee pods are engineered with a superior oxygen barrier, maintaining less than 2% oxygen content inside the pod.  

To further preserve flavour, our pods feature a flavour seal lid. This unique design locks in the coffee’s rich aromas, ensuring that the pods consistently deliver the full-bodied flavour you expect from our coffee 

Designed for Optimal Flavour Extraction 

Great coffee isn’t just about freshnessit’s also about how it’s brewed. Our coffee pods are designed with an innovative structure that optimizes water flow and extraction. This ensures that every pod delivers a well-balanced coffee with the perfect crema. Whether you enjoy an espresso or latte, our pods are engineered to bring out the best in every roast.

Designed for Home Compostability  

As the first speciality coffee roaster to produce a compostable coffee pod, it was important for us to keep this feature. Our new coffee pods are still fully biodegradable and break down in 180 days (which is quicker than orange peel!). The pod and lid can be placed in your food waste bin or garden compost, making them a greener and easier choice for coffee lovers. And if you don’t have access to a home compost bin, just pop it in your general waste bin – this is still far more environmentally friendly than other coffee pods. 

Watch our coffee pods decompose over 180 days:  

Our compostable coffee pods are made from biopolymer derived from starch, glucose, and lignin—all sourced from 100% renewable raw materials and free from aluminium, GMOs, and pesticides, ensuring they are safe for both you and the planet.
