Hello Simon,

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review :)

We find more water works well with our Dark or Intense as the intensity of the roast can cut through, but you may need to double up on pods if you would like a longer Light Roast or Decaf.

If you would like to discuss further please contact me at help@crukafe.com

Sarah

Fabulous Coffee, Fabulous customer service

We were Nespresso customers for years and they one day we got fed up and wanted to try something else. I wanted ethical coffee which tasted good and also an environmentally friendly capsule. Cru Kafe capsules embodies all of these. I am absolutely delighted to be one of their fervent customer.

Glad!

Yes glad to have found guilt free organic decaf in recyclable capsules! And it tastes wonderful despite the decaffeinating process... well done!
Not so sure about the smallness of the bags though and they are not recyclable... I wish it would be possible to buy bags of 50 or 100 capsules...

Please bare with us as we are currently developing not only a 100% compostable pod, but also 100% compostable packaging! We hope to roll out the changes in the New Year!

Great coffee!

Love the coffee pods, especially the light and dark roasts. Quick delivery when ordered online and staff are always very helpful.
However, the website is frustrating and I'm unable to find a link to set up a subscription.

Best coffee ever

Love, love, love this coffee - tastes amazing (much better than Nespresso pods), and the decaf is not only organic but uses the sparkling water filtration method so no nasty chemicals are used to remove the caffine. Honestly can't recommend enough!
