LOOKING TO DO BETTER?
Over the years, we've looked at how we can improve as people and as a family business. One of things that stood out, was to give back wherever possible. It's a really simple and easy thing to do with benefits on both sides.
Please consider supporting a company that does this. Your loyalty and support provides profit for us and funding for some of the projects that we are are part of.
Choose a Better Coffee Capsule Company!
Bring Us Your Used Nescafe Dolce Gusto Capsules
We don't sell the original Nescafe Dolce Gusto Capsules. In fact, our Rene and Nocturno Pods are in direct competition with Nescafe. That doesn't stop us from trying to do good in the hood by nominating ourselves as a collection point for their used pods. We work with Terracycle and turn used capsules into real money donations for our current charity of choice - Women's Refuge.
Whilst the donations aren't huge - about $500 per year - they are something from nothing. So, once you have finished with your used original Nescafe Dolce Gusto pods, please rinse them through, dry them out and then drop them off to 10 Piermark Drive, Unit 4F, in Rosedale, Auckland.
Your trash can help out - Thank You, New Zealand!
Carbon Offsetting, Our Customers And Us
In 2019, we started to offset our carbon footprint. We’ve pre-bought some 25,000 Carbon Offset Credit from Toitu, who, in turn, have used those funds to assist in carbon offsetting projects around New Zealand and the Globe.
In New Zealand, our Offset Credits are funding the replanting of forest sink projects which will regenerate native New Zealand forest species . These include; Pigeon Bush, Puhi Peak, Kurunui, Rangitoto Station and Waipuna Bush.
Buying a better coffee capsule from My Coffee Capsules, makes this possible. Your support and loyalty is crucial...
Fund Raiser, Pink Ribbon Breakfast Or Some Other Amazing Event?
Sometimes, we all need a little boost. If you or a family member are fund raising, then reach out to us with your plans. We don't say yes to everyone, but if you have a good cause, a good vibe and a good plan, then we may be able to help with free pods.
Get in touch to see if we can help out raise money for a good cause!
Certified Fairtrade Coffee Beans
Whilst not all our our brands and blends are certified Fairtrade, some do carry the mark. This means :
Fairtrade Minimum Price: A guaranteed safety net that covers the cost of sustainable production which also protects farmers and their families.
Fairtrade Premium: An extra sum of money paid on top of the selling price. Farmers and workers democratically decide how to invest this fund into community projects like schools, healthcare, or improved farming equipment.
Rigorous Standards: To use the mark, producers and businesses must meet strict social, economic, and environmental standards, such as prohibiting child labour, ensuring safe working conditions, and banning harmful pesticides.
Democratic Ownership: Unique among certification schemes, 50% of Fairtrade International is co-owned by the farmers and workers themselves, giving them an equal voice in global decision-making.
When you purchase your coffee pods from My Coffee Capsules, you help us to support the Fairtrade initiative. Sure, a small family run coffee pod business at the bottom of the World might not count for much, but everything little difference counts.
