British artisan coffee roaster, Dualit, is introducing a new range of flavoured aluminium coffee pods into its beverage range. These environmentally friendly pods feature a mix of flavours, including Vanilla Cream and Rich Hazelnut, and are compatible with Nespresso machines. Launched at the end of July 2023, the pods are now available to customers.
With a major shift in the UK market towards premium and speciality coffees in recent years, and the forecast for 2023 set to be even bigger, Dualit has catered for the growing trend within this category by introducing the first of its flavoured coffee pods. With Vanilla and Hazelnut sitting in the Top 5 most popular coffee flavours in the UK, they will lead the way for the British coffee roaster as they enter the flavoured coffee market.
Made with high quality beans and flavourings, the blends are selected by Dualit’s Master Roaster at its West Sussex roastery. These premium coffee pods are designed to retain their fresh coffee taste, and each box contains ten capsules with a seal lid to lock in freshness. The challenge following customer feedback was to ensure that the syrup to coffee ratio retained the coffee flavour, and didn’t overpower with sweetness. The pods deliver this, according to the company, with the optimum balance of coffee and flavouring.
“Our flavoured coffee pods combine a smooth, medium strength Americano with the perfect dose of flavoured syrup, and when paired with milk, they create an elevated frothy cappuccino or milky latte experience to awaken the senses,” said Debbie McIvor-Main, marketing manager at Dualit.
About the two blends
Vanilla Cream – Strength 7: A medium strength Vanilla Cream with base notes of cereal, treacle, and dried fruit, topped with a hint of vanilla.
Rich Hazelnut – Strength 7: A medium strength Rich Hazelnut with base notes of cereal, treacle, and dried fruit, enhanced by a nutty flavour.
Dualit has sustainability and integrity at the forefront of all its coffee development and works closely with Fairtrade coffee producers. In addition, the use of aluminium to create the pods means a much lower environmental impact compared to other materials often used in coffee capsules, as it requires much less energy and resources to recycle. Aluminium pods are a great option for consumers who enjoy a pod coffee but want to make a conscious effort to protect the environment, and still maintain long shelf life.
To recycle, coffee grounds can be disposed of in food waste or compost bins, while the pod and lid can be recycled. Dualit’s handheld EcoPress Pod Recycler separates coffee from used aluminium pods, to support the recycling experience. Dualit’s EcoPress range is compatible with the new Flavoured Aluminium coffee pods, as well as the rest of the Aluminium range and other Nespresso® compatible pods.
The pods are available from dualit.com and Amazon, with an RRP of GBP £3.99 for 10x pods of £14.99 for 50x pods.
