10 Best Coffee Pods UK | Nespresso Tassimo and More

Produced exclusively by a small group of passionate coffee lovers based in London, this vibrant coffee is not only organic, but sustainable. Sendero have 6 different coffee options with a variety of bean origins, tasting notes and strengths. 

The coffee capsules are made from wood bark which makes them biodegradable and will compost in as little as 6 months. They are compatible with Nespresso and most other coffee capsule machines currently on the market too. We think this coffee certainly ticks all the boxes and that's why it's made it to Number 1! 

The Blonde edition is Starbuck's lightest roast, with subtle flavours and bold yet mellow aromas. This specially crafted sweet blend makes for a smooth coffee, with rich notes of warm caramel and a punchy espresso edge. 

In a single box, you can get 12 capsules which you can then recycle as they are made from one plastic. This coffee is a favourite, loved by the caffeine addicts with a sweet tooth. We'd recommend that you try this one with a splash of milk to really bring out the flavours!

These coffee pods are made especially for the A Modo Mio machines to bring a more eco-friendly product to your shopping list. Made out of biodegradable materials, you can toss your used pods into the compost bin and they'll decompose along with the rest of your food waste. 

This is ideal for those who drink lots of coffee and struggle to find the time to recycle properly. For this blend, Lavazza created a nutty roast with light hints of cocoa and fruit. A definite must-try!

With each sip of this coffee, you are supporting the lives and communities of the Blue Goose coffee growers. This company uses the profits from their delicious coffee pods to invest in water supplies and wildlife care in places like Ethiopia, to take care of the places that provide for them. 

In one box, you get 10 capsules of roasted granules that are rich in floral and fruity aromas. For the price of £18, you receive 4 boxes, making a total of 40 dreamy coffee pods which are also compatible with the Nespresso machines. 

A convenient twist on a trip to your favourite coffee shop - you can now enjoy the luxury of a Costa coffee in the comfort of your own living room! With this box of 8 coffee pods and 8 creamy caramel pods, you can simply pop the pod into your machine and you have the perfect caramel latte. 

This blend is simple and mild, which is ideal for someone who prefers lighter roasts as opposed to nutty, darker roasts. And, these pods are made entirely out of a single plastic, so you can recycle them when you're finished!

Kenco is a highly popular coffee brand that's loved all over the UK. So, when they brought out their aluminium pods that are easily recycled, they gained a whole new load of brownie points! 

Not only are they recyclable, but with each and every capsule, you can taste the intense arabica roast with a delicate touch of crema. The lungo pod is rich, creamy and it makes for a perfect way to start your day. Plus, you won't have to keep restocking as often with this pack of 100 capsules.

These pods are intensely aromatic and rich in cocoa notes, but don't be fooled by the strong flavours in this coffee - it's completely decaffeinated! If you're one to over-do it on the coffee beans and find yourself constantly on a caffeine high, you may be wanting to take a break from the side effects. 

Of course, this doesn't mean that you miss out on the enriched roasts that Nespresso has to offer! We would like to point out that these are the most expensive pods on our list. Coming in at £6.99 for a pack of 10 capsules when you buy the multipack of 50 capsules on Amazon. 

With gentle notes of jasmine, the delicate intensity of this coffee will calm the senses and give you time to truly unwind. You could even explore the 9 other unique blends illy has to offer to find your perfect coffee. 

Illy prides themselves on their sustainably-grown coffee, meaning that you can get your caffeine fix while putting your money to a high-quality, respectful brand. But be aware, these capsules are only compatible with illy iperespresso machines. 

For a rich, aromatic coffee, these pods are perfect - and, they're tailored to supply enough for an extra-large cup! This dark, nutty black coffee is ideal if you prefer stronger, intense blends. While you can add milk for a creamier flavour, this roast is in its prime when served straight from the machine, untouched - lightly sweet and perfectly bitter. 

Although the XL size is great value for money, this may be too much coffee for some people who would prefer a smaller cup of coffee. You'll also be glad to hear that you can recycle them, too! The Tassimo recycling program operates through over 130 TerraCycle drop-off locations across the UK.

This creamy coffee is a delicious, velvety take on a standard white coffee. Place a single pod in your Nescafe machine to get a smooth milky drink with a thick crema - a perfect drink if you're not a fan of strong coffee. 

However, this product could be considered a little too milky and bland, as the flavour of coffee is very subtle, so perhaps this pod is better with a smaller cup. In Asda, they often have a promotion of 3 boxes for £10, that's a total of 48 capsules!
