Cafedirect arrive on Nespresso

While shopping in a local supermarket last week I noticed that Cafedirect the 100% Fairtrade drinks manufacturer has released coffee pods that work with the Nespresso machine - http://www.cafedirect.co.uk/our-products/coffee/coffee-pods/. I bought a pack of Espresso Vivo and enjoyed it so much I'll be drinking it on a regular basis! It's great to finally see Fairtrade coffee pods on sale in the UK, giving Nespresso users an ethical choice as to how their coffee is sourced.

I also noticed that that Mondelez have released their Carte Noire Nespresso pods to the UK market, which to my mind brings the time even close when a good range of Nespresso compatible pods are on sale in the UK, just like there already is in France - many French supermarkets stock at least 3-4 brands of Nespresso compatible capsules.

Hopefully next to arrive in the UK marketplace will be Douwe Egberts/Maison du Cafe with their L'Or Espresso pods as they have a fantastic range of Nespresso coffee. It would also be good if Ethical Coffee Company pods arrived as well, as the plant based materials the pod is made out of is great for the environment due to it's biodegradability! and the coffee contained within the pods is fantastic as well - Inca Soave is a great Fairtrade espresso.
