Zarraffa’s launches biodegradable coffee capsules

It’s the moment coffee connoisseurs have been waiting for – Zarraffa’s Coffee is now offering a premium coffee experience at home, with the launch of their all-new look 100% biodegradable and compostable Okapi coffee capsules.

Now made locally on the Gold Coast, the capsule range will now include Zarraffa’s signature house blend, African Masai, Decaf and the new Black Label Single Origin flavor, Ethiopian Djimmah.

Standard coffee capsules take between 150 to 500 years to break down in landfills and billions are dumped every year, making this sustainable option more appealing to consumers without having to sacrifice their morning brew.

Pronounced oh-cop-ee, Zarraffa’s Okapi capsules are named after a rare relative of the Giraffe family and are created entirely from sugarcane and sugar beet. This means the whole capsule is made from plant materials and can be thrown in the bin guilt-free, breaking down and composting after 10 weeks.

Capsules come in packs of 10, retailing at $9.95, and are compatible with original Nespresso coffee machines.

Kenton Campbell, Zarraffa’s Coffee Founder, and Managing Director shares his excitement for the new launch.

“This has been a long time in the making, and as an Aussie-owned coffee company, we’re excited to be able to offer a more environmentally friendly option that’s made locally on the Gold Coast for all of our coffee lovers at home,” he said.

“It’s time that we get to share our new look Okapi capsules, now available at all Zarraffa’s stores and launching in line with our next Black Label Single Origin coffee flavor off the ranks – Ethiopian Djimmah.”

Zarraffa’s Single Origin coffee is grown within a distinct geographic location, meaning either a single farm or one country.

Influenced by specific natural attributes such as climate, landscape, and altitude, each bean delivers a bespoke flavor, creating a single distinguished coffee experience that doesn’t get lost in a blend.
