Fairtrade comes to Nespresso

Great to see that the Ethical Coffee Company has developed 2 new Fairtrade coffee for the Nespresso machine - Lungo and Inca Soave. It is about time that Fairtrade certification came to coffee for a coffee machine, as it means the coffee has produced to international Fairtrade standards, and the people growing the coffee have been paid a decent wage.

Only problem with these capsules is that they are not yet on sale throughout the whole of Europe, which is a shame, as I am sure that there are many Nespresso owners who would welcome the chance to purchase an Ethical capsule for their machines.

Hopefully the time will come when Nespresso switches to a more ethical way of obtaining coffee for it's capsules, perhaps even going as far as obtaining Fairtrade certification for them!
