To be fair I got an introductory offer pack so the price was good. I am a Nespresso fan but I'm always looking for another great coffee. These pods taste ok but they're not better than Nespre... See more

Great coffee and prompt service

First and foremost, their coffee is really great. Forget the numbers, I live in Italy where coffee is coffee in any bar. What counts is the roasting.
Light, dark or intense, or decaf: coffee for any time of the day. Plus it's organic AND fair trade with non-aluminium pods (biodegradable). Who could ask for more?
I was recently in London and wanted to order their starter pack for my family. They were just about to go away on holiday, but I spoke to CRU and they were so helpful. The coffee arrived in 2 days. Well done and greatly appreciated. My family really liked what they had.

Delighted

I have twice ordered the coffee from CruKafe now. I am very pleased with the coffee and with the quick delivery turn around. I do find it a bit of a fiddle to empty the pods for recycling, and I can't store the pods in a large glass container as I have done with those from another company, but the quality of the coffee makes up for those inconveniences.

Hello Carol,

We are glad you are enjoying the coffee and thank you for taking the time to issue us with your feedback :)

While our current pods are recyclable, we are in the process of developing our new and evolved 100% compostable pod!

This means that once you are done with the capsule you can throw away the whole thing in its entirety - as simple as that. We hope it wont be too much longer but when we launch we will be sure to let all our customers know!

Also, please note that our pods will stay bag fresh in an airtight container for up to two weeks :)

Kind Regards,.

Great service

Great service and good coffee. One problem is that the Nespresso compatible pods don't always work and you just get a cup of slightly coloured water. I have only used 4 of the pods so far and 2 I had to put through the coffee machine 3 times each before they worked. However, once they did work the coffee was good.

What a treat!

It was such a treat to receive my beautifully packaged coffee capsules. The decaf has been smooth and mellow and I am looking forward to trying the other kinds!

Very nice

I've discovered Cru kafe by searching for a healthy chemical free decaf alternative while being pregnant and it looks and tastes like i've hit the jackpot!After having tried a few other organic decaf brands,that tasted quite acidic and less flavourous,I really appreaciate Cru Kafe now,having my favourite morning cappuccino,whithout sacrificing with the quality!I also ordered a selection of the other kinds of the Cru Kafe selection for my husband and he loved all of them,in fact,he's a total convert from Nespresso now!
Thank you,CRU Kafe!

Hello Vanya,

Thanks for the sparkling review, we are so glad that you have found us, sounds like we are meeting all your family's needs!

We are very proud of all of our blends with an extra soft spot for our delicious decaf :)

We felt there was definitely a gap in choice when it came to organic decaf blends and so we are extremely happy with how popular it has become!
