SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTS

Through our coffee and the tools used to prepare it, we aim to make a difference in terms of social, economic and environmental sustainability.
We combine technology and design with high standards for supplier qualification, favouring Made in Italy supply chains, long-term collaborations, and planning capable of guaranteeing durability and reliability, with favourable results for economic sustainability too.
Finally, our policy on packaging and the materials we use for communication, which are produced with respect for our planet, prioritises environmental sustainability.

To build a better future we have started from sustainable coffee, being one one of the first to introduce the principles of economic, social and environmental sustainability.

RECYCLABLE PACKAGING

The steel containers for coffee products are recyclable, as is the cardboard box containing our pods and all take-away products.

COMPOSTABLE PODS

Our E.S.E. pods, designed to offer the perfect coffee quality and dose, are certified as 100% compostable, in relation to both the coffee and the paper capsule*.

* E.S.E. pods are certified industrially compostable both in terms of the coffee and the paper capsule, and can be disposed of as food waste. Check the local regulations for separating recycling in your area.

SUSTAINABLE SHIPPING

Multiple product purchases allow us to reduce the materials used for packaging, thus reducing the environmental impact of shipping.

ECO MACHINES

Machines that respect the environment by using 100% compostable products (ground coffee, beans, E.S.E.*).

ECO + ENERGY SAVING MACHINES

100% compostable products guarantee respect for the environment along with energy savings facilitated by fast-heating technology.

WE’RE DOING MORE TO POLLUTE LESS

It’s a good idea to stock up on coffee, as this reduces the environmental impact of shipping and allows us to send multiple packages of the same product to fulfil the order, minimising the use of cardboard for packaging. Order multiple packages of the same product with no extra delivery costs (3) to make your order even more sustainable.
