The new Espresso Coffee Capsules are designed
for commercial composting in collaboration with
TerraCycle®†
TORONTO, Aug. 12,
2024 /CNW/ - McCafé® announces the launch
of a new line of Espresso Coffee Capsules for use in
Nespresso®* Original Coffee Machines. These capsules are
commercially compostable through a program with
TerraCycle®†. Crafted to provide a smooth,
balanced flavour and luxurious crema, McCafé Espresso Coffee
Capsules are made from a blend of Rainforest Alliance Certified
Arabica beans.
The McCafé Espresso Coffee Capsules come in a range of
intensities to cater to different preferences, delivering the
perfect cup of coffee each time. From the sweet caramel notes of
the light roast, to the chocolate and hazelnut notes of the medium
roast, to the silky dark chocolate and roasted almond notes of the
dark roast, the three roasts available will offer something
for every palate.
"With the launch of the new commercially compostable Espresso
Coffee Capsules, McCafé continues to raise the bar in the
Canadian coffee market," said Jeff
Kroll, Chief Strategy Officer and SVP at McDonald's
Canada. "We are delighted to
introduce the delicious taste and quality of McCafé coffee to
a broader group of Canadians through an innovative format
compatible with Nespresso®* Original Coffee
Machines."
The new McCafé Espresso Coffee Capsules can be commercially
composted, and the flexible bags in which they are packaged can be
recycled, using the McCafé Free Composting & Recycling
Program offered by TerraCycle. To participate in the free mail-back
program, consumers will need to sign up and create an account on
the TerraCycle website to download a free shipping
label.
The new McCafé Espresso Coffee Capsules are now available for
purchase at participating retailers nationwide.
