Sample set of unpackaged ESE pods - Napolitano
2 x 20 pads 7g each | 1 x 25 pads 7.2g each
Thanks to their mostly compostable, paper-based packaging, ESE pods are one of the most environmentally friendly ready-to-use methods for preparing espresso. Most manufacturers wrap each ESE pod individually in foil. In this sampler set, however, we present three ESE varieties that are truly eco-friendly. They all forgo separate outer packaging for the individual pods. Similar to high-quality roasted coffees, the pods are packaged together in a recyclable container with a special valve. This ensures that the unique aroma is preserved as much as possible. Completely plastic-free!
This set includes the following ESE varieties:
Nurri Napoletano Pads without individual packaging
25 ESE Espresso Pads, loosely packed
Blend ratio: 80% Arabica | 20% Robusta
Since modern machines for manufacturing ESE pods are designed for automated individual packaging with plastic, Nurri's ESE pods must be carefully packaged by hand. This is the only way to make the entire production process completely plastic- and aluminum-free. Once used, the ESE pods are easily compostable and extremely environmentally friendly. Even the pouch can be easily recycled with paper waste. The long drum roasting process gives this Nurri blend a beautiful dark color, making it a truly southern Italian, low-acid bar espresso. Rich, sweet, and exceptionally high-quality thanks to the washed Robusta beans.
In the cup, the Napoletano presents itself with a beautiful, slightly darker crema that is particularly rich and subtly marbled. On the palate, it offers seductive nuances of hazelnut, dark chocolate, and a touch of honey. A pleasantly full-bodied, medium-strength espresso that delights across the board.
Mondicaffè The Bocs - Pads without individual packaging
20 ESE Espresso Pads, loosely packed
Blend ratio: 100% Arabica
From Colombia to India, the raw coffee beans for "the Bocs" by Mondicaffè come from six select, small coffee farms. Personally chosen by Franco Mondi, these varieties harmonize perfectly, creating an incredibly creamy and full-bodied espresso experience.
The aroma of these ESE pods is as diverse as the coffee varieties themselves. In just one sip, you can taste aromas of delicate chocolate, a hint of caramel, and candied citrus fruits. The slightly velvety, lingering aftertaste perfectly rounds off this espresso.
Barbera ESE Pads Aromagic - WITHOUT individual plastic packaging
20 ESE Espresso Pads, loosely packed
Blend ratio: 60% Arabica | 40% Robusta
Barbera's Aromagic ESE pods are also individually wrapped by hand in an eco-friendly paper bag. While this means more work, it also benefits the environment, as these pods are 100% compostable.
The coffee in these pods is classically Neapolitan: diverse and elegant in aroma, pleasantly strong and dark roasted. Aromas of dark chocolate and nuts are harmoniously complemented by fruity nuances. Bitterness and acidity have no chance here.
