About Cru Kafe
CRU Kafe is a British organic coffee brand founded in 2013 by Bodil Blain, Colin Pyle, and John Quilter, born from a mission to create specialty coffee pods that actually taste great. The brand produces Nespresso-compatible coffee pods using 100% certified organic beans sourced from Fairtrade co-operatives in Ethiopia, Peru, and other coffee-growing regions. CRU Kafe became a Certified B Corporation in 2022, joining a global movement of businesses committed to using business as a force for good. What sets CRU Kafe apart is their comprehensive approach to sustainability. They were the first independent coffee company to join the nationwide PODBACK recycling scheme, ensuring their pods don't end up in landfill. From beans to packaging, everything is recyclable, with Fairtrade premiums supporting healthcare, infrastructure, and plant nurseries in coffee-growing communities. The range includes light roast, medium roast, intense, lungo, and decaf options, all organic and ethically sourced. UK shoppers can find CRU Kafe coffee pods at major supermarkets including Tesco and Ocado, as well as through Amazon and the brand's own website. Popular products include the Light Roast blend (Ethiopian and Peruvian beans) and their organic decaf pods. For those seeking premium, ethical coffee without compromising on taste or the environment, CRU Kafe offers a genuine specialty coffee alternative.
