The Hidden Truth about Disposable Coffee Capsules and How to Fix Them
By Rania R.
Last updated on June 6, 2024
Find out what the big coffee brands aren't telling you about disposable capsules, and explore an innovative French solution we've unearthed.
14x le tours de la terre en déchets
According to the 2019 Quantis LCA studyIn France, 80% of disposable coffee capsules are not recycled due to the complexity of recycling.
The number of disposable capsules used each year exceeds 14 times the earth's circumference, or around 10 billion capsules, equivalent to 40,000 tonnes of aluminium waste.
Coffee at the price of gold
Disposable capsules cost an average of €0.45 per cup, or over €80 per kilo of coffee.
This is one of the highest prices ever paid for coffee, making this daily expense economically unjustifiable.
We find ourselves trapped in a system where we have to source our capsules from a single manufacturer, limiting our choices and increasing costs.
Aluminium: a hidden poison
Aluminum coffee capsules present health risks due to the presence of chemical contaminants such as aluminum, acrylamide and furan. A study by Anses in 2013 showed levels of these substances in capsule coffee. Aluminum, in particular, can accumulate in the intestinal mucosa and cause microbiota imbalances.
The French innovation that changes everything
CAPS'ME, the solution you should know about
You're probably familiar with the tedious and messy process of filling reusable capsules with a spoon. Well, the CAPS'ME solution reinvents this process with its first shaker invented, manufactured and patented in France, enabling fast, precise filling in just 15 seconds. It's an ingenious solution to ease your transition to a more sustainable method.
Gold medal at Concours Lépine 2021
The CAPS'ME solution was singled out for its exceptional contribution to sustainable, economical and practical coffee, winning the prestigious Concours Lépine 2021 as proof of its ingenuity and efficiency. CAPS'ME is now a recognized and award-winning innovative brand.
Good coffee, good conscience
Since 2022, CAPS'ME, a French solution, has made it possible to reuse over 20 million stainless steel capsules, thereby reducing pollution. With its reusable capsules, CAPS'ME offers the possibility of choosing your coffee to better manage its ecological impact, or even opting for specialty chicory.
Half the price of Nespresso® capsules
Since the introduction of disposable capsules, the price of coffee per kilo has never been higher. Save up to twice as much on disposable Nespresso® capsules with CAPS'ME 's infinitely reusable capsules , reducing the cost to €0.17 per cup, compared with €0.35 to €0.45 for disposable capsules. This halves the price and saves up to €250 a year.
Choose your coffee freely
Disposable capsules are often associated with inferior coffee. With CAPS'ME, you can choose your coffee from your local roaster for an incomparable taste experience. Choose from their specialty coffees, ranked in the top 2% of the world's best, or their original flavored coffees. You can also choose specialty chicory, which is even more environmentally friendly and just as delicious.
