10 Best Compostable Coffee Pods UK | Grind Sons of Amazon and More

Great Taste award winners Sons of Amazon are one of the most popular coffee companies online, and for good reason, their coffee is unreal. This is their 100% home compostable 40-capsule pack of the strongest dark-roasted coffee you are likely to find in a pod. 

If you needed any other convincing as to the robustness of their coffee, they've blended in some potent Robusta beans to get it and your morning ritual truly singing. Being one of the very few to have the official 'OK Compost' certification is another reason why this product edged out the rest, sitting rightfully so at number one. 

London-based Grind have several well-established coffee haunts dotted around the city, with thousands of Londoners making sure that their commute to work passes one by. Grind have tried their very best to bring their beloved blends into their pod range and by all reports, it's a winning formula. 

The pods are certified climate- and CO2-neutral, as well as fine for home and commercial composting just the same. A certified organic coffee that has every box ticked and with a choice between their house, black, dark and decaf blends, Grind have created coffee greatness. 

Lean Caffeine's mission statement is simple. Through lab testing, they are eliminating the chance of the mould mycotoxin ending up in your brew. Often associated with low quality coffee and raw and un-roasted beans, mycotoxin is a hot topic in the world of coffee. 

This is their 50/50 split of Arabica beans from Honduras and Peru, which results in a strong and sublime-tasting coffee that'll have you reordering time and time again. A delightfully bold coffee that is both organic and mycotoxin-free, need we say more? 

Made from 100% cornstarch, Wild Highland's dark roasted pods are another one intended for home compost heaps. Also in a similar light to the Eden Project, their choice doesn't stop with the dark roast blend, as there are countless other coffees to entice you in with. 

This is a blended coffee with both Arabica and Robusta beans in the mix, giving a complex and rich flavour profile that is certainly not for the faint of heart. Part of the Rainforest Alliance, Wild Highlands are a sustainably charged company who enjoy doing good and producing good coffee. 

Hugely sought after on Amazon, the Eden Project's coffee is bringing joy to plenty of people's mornings across the UK and abroad. This is their variety pack, which includes three single-origin Arabica coffees from Colombia, Guatemala and Costa Rica.

If the espresso variety doesn't quite tickle your fancy, then click through, as they've also got a few americano and lungo pod options too. The pods are home (or locally) compostable and come in a recyclable box printed with vegetable-based inks, which is a huge win for all the green thumbs out there. 

Taking you on a journey through the world's finest coffee-producing countries, Sendero's speciality selection is an impressive one. Included in the pack are 30 single-origin home compostable pods from Mexico and Uganda and 10 each from Peru, Guatemala, Colombia and Brazil, with Brazil's being decaf. 

This healthy selection of coffee is 100% Arabica for some assurance in the taste and quality department. As an ethical and fair trade company that prides itself on its direct contact with the farmers they work with, Sendero gets our vote. 

Escape, discover and explore with Coffee & Kin's 60-pod bundle of three distinct coffees. Each pack comes ready to caffeinate with 10 pods, ensuring each week you'll have a new coffee to fall in love with over and over again. 

Coffee and Kin's initiative of donating 1p from every pod sold to the Blurt Foundation is currently helping young people and adults affected by depression, right here in the UK. The pods are still only commercially compostable, but there's no denying this socially aware coffee company is a great one to support. 

For a multitude of reasons, not everyone loves getting jacked up on caffeine each and every morning. However, for some, the taste and smell are simply too good to resist. Decaf is on an upward trend, with more and more people realising there is a life outside of their daily caffeine addiction. 

Dualit's pods are commercially compostable only, although it's a plus that the protective bags and lids are compostable too. Compatible with Dualit and Nespresso machines, these Arabica pods are a medium roast, allowing you to enjoy a coffee in the evening without being kept awake by caffeine nor your impact on the environment. 

'Lungo' meaning 'long' in Italian, is a popular option for people who enjoy spending a little more time with their coffee. Still essentially an espresso shot, a lungo is simply pulled for a longer amount of time, producing a more watered down espresso that is less intense tasting but can actually taste more bitter. 

In a similar fashion to Lavazza's Passionale espresso, the Lungo eco caps are for commercial composting only, though this is still a good initiative when compared to other pods. Give the Lavazza lungo a try if you're desiring to savour that espresso 'til the very last sip. 

Inject some caffeine into your morning with Lavazza's espresso that's both passion-producing and intense at 11/13 on the roasted scale. It's a 100% Arabica blend that comes from a few of the iconic coffee regions of the world, including Brazil, Asia and Central and South America. 

This particular deal is offering up four packs of 16 pods to give you plenty of coffee for when it counts. While compostable, the eco caps are intended for commercial composting only, meaning they'll take too long to decompose in your home's garden waste.
