A Sustainable Single-Serve Solution for Specialty Roasters

Historically, single-serve coffee pods have been a bit of a bummer. Typically utilizing low-quality roasted coffee, they tend to be under-dosed, resulting in a weak brew strength and a bitter, watery cup. They also produce an enormous amount of waste. Customers like them for convenience, and not much else.

GreenPod Coffee Packing is changing the narrative one single-serve pods. Their fully compostable pods look more like a small sealed paper filter than a K-Cup. With a higher dose of coffee, a customized grind size based on roast level, and a nitrogen-flushed pouch that allows for natural degassing, this is a whole new world in convenience coffee. GreenPod operates as a co-packer with small MOQs, making this product an easy option for even small roasting companies to add to their retail offerings.
