Origin & Traceability
Smallholder Farmers, Takengon Region, Aceh, Sumatra, Indonesia
Grown in the lush, volcanic highlands of Takengon , in the Aceh region of northern Sumatra , this coffee is produced by smallholder farmers who have cultivated Arabica coffee for generations. These producers farm on small plots—typically less than one hectare—and practice traditional methods passed down through families and communities. The region’s fertile volcanic loam soils , high elevation (ranging from 1,200 to 1,500 meters above sea level ), and unique microclimates create optimal growing conditions that contribute to the deep, earthy complexity Sumatra coffees are known for.
The coffee undergoes wet-hulling (locally known as giling basah ), a traditional Indonesian processing method in which the parchment is removed while the beans are still semi-wet. This technique, combined with drying on patios or covered beds, gives the coffee its distinctive heavy body , low acidity , and complex flavor notes.
Once processed, the green beans are sent to be decaffeinated using the Mountain Water Process (MWP) —a chemical-free decaffeination method that uses clean mountain water to gently remove caffeine while preserving the bean's original flavor integrity. The result is a decaf coffee that maintains the rich taste and character expected of a Mandheling.
This coffee is both USDA Organic and Fair Trade USA certified, ensuring that farmers receive fair compensation and that environmentally sustainable practices are upheld throughout the production cycle.

Frequently Asked Questions
At Artizan Coffee, we’ve reimagined what a capsule can be. Our Nespresso® OriginalLine–compatible capsules are filled with USDA certified organic specialty coffee, roasted fresh in our Davie, Florida roastery. We grind and pack in-house—never outsourcing—so every capsule delivers full flavor and aroma, just as intended.
Even better, our Zero Impact Capsules are made from plant-based, home-compostable materials. No aluminum, no plastic waste—just exceptional coffee that’s good for you and the planet.
Are Your Capsules Compatible With any Nespresso Vertuo Machine?
No. Our capsules are not compatible with any Nespresso Vertuo machines. Vertuo machines use a completely different capsule shape and brewing system that is incompatible with Nespresso OriginalLine–style capsules, like the ones we produce.
If you’re using a Vertuo machine, we recommend checking directly with Nespresso for compatible options.
If you have an OriginalLine Nespresso machine, our capsules are a perfect fit.

If you're unsure about compatibility, feel free to contact us we’re happy to help.
Do Your Capsules Contain Any BPA?
No. Our capsules arecompletely free of BPA (bisphenol-A), phthalates, and halogens. They’re made fromplant-based, compostable materialsthat are food-safe, non-toxic, and environmentally friendly. You can enjoy your coffee knowing the capsule is as clean and conscious as what’s inside.
How Many Capsules Are In A Box?
Each box contains 10 capsules.
Are Artizan Coffee Capsules Aluminum And Plastic-Free?
Our capsules do not contain any aluminum, so there’s no risk of aluminum leaching during brewing. Instead, we use plant-based, home compostable biodegradable materials that are safe for you and better for the environment.
How Much Coffee Is In Your Capsules?
Each Artizan Coffee capsule contains between 5 and 6 grams of specialty organic coffee, depending on the specific blend or product. On average, our capsules hold approximately 5.5 grams—crafted to deliver a balanced and flavorful espresso experience.
How Much Caffeine Is In Each Capsule?
On average, our capsules containbetween 60 mg and 120 mg of caffeine, depending on the roast level and coffee origin. Ourdecaf capsulescontain only 1 to 2 mg of caffeine per serving, thanks to our chemical-free Swiss Water® decaffeination process.
What Are Your Capsules Made Of?
Our Nespresso®*-compatible capsules are made from BASF’s ecovio®, a biobased and fully compostable polymer. This high-quality bioplastic is a blend of ecoflex®—a biodegradable polymer—and PLA (polylactic acid) derived from renewable resources like sugarcane.
These plant-based materials allow us to deliver a convenient single-serve coffee experience without compromising our commitment to sustainability. Our capsules are certified compostable and designed to break down in the right composting conditions—leaving behind no toxic residue.
*Nespresso® is a registered trademark of Société des Produits Nestlé S.A., which is not affiliated with Artizan Coffee.
What Are The Top Lids Made Of?
Our capsule lids are made from 100% cellulose natural fibers and are FSC® certified, meaning they come from responsibly managed forests. They are both biodegradable and certified compostable—suitable for home and industrial composting in accordance with EN 13432 standards.
This ensures that every part of our capsule, including the lid, aligns with our commitment to sustainability and clean materials—without compromising performance.
Are Your Capsules Compostable Or Biodegradable?
Both. Our pods are designed to be biodegradable and compostable, making them a more sustainable alternative to traditional plastic or aluminum capsules.
Thanks to their special chemical structure, our pods can be broken down naturally by microorganisms and their enzymes. In the high-temperature, high-moisture, oxygen-rich conditions of an industrial composting facility, this process typically takes just a few weeks.
This means you can enjoy the convenience of single-serve coffee without the environmental guilt—our pods are made to disappear the right way.
What about Recycling? Can I Recycle My Used Capsules?
It’s a fair question—and the truth might surprise you.
Over 75% of coffee capsules end up in landfills. Most aren’t truly recyclable, despite the green claims. They’re too small or made with aluminum and plastic, which require complex disassembly. Recycling coffee pods has become more of a marketing tactic than an environmental solution.
That’s why we took a better route.
Our capsules are made from plant-based materials and are 100% home-compostable. Just toss them in your backyard compost, food waste bin, or municipal green bin (where accepted). They break down naturally—no chemicals, no waste.
Can they be recycled?
No. Compostable pods are not meant for recycling. Recycling systems can't process plant-based materials and may treat them as contamination.
What if I throw them in the trash?
Even if composting isn’t an option, our pods still leave a lighter footprint. Unlike plastic or aluminum, they won't pollute the planet for centuries. They’ll break down much more quickly in landfills compared to traditional capsules.
In short: Compost them if you can. Trash is better than recycling in this case. But either way, you're making a cleaner choice.
Where Are Your Capsules for Nespresso Original Machines Made?
All of our Nespresso-compatible capsules are roasted, filled, and packaged in-house at our FDA-approved, USDA-certified organic facility in Davie, Florida, USA.
Unlike most brands—whose pods are produced overseas and often sit in warehouses for months before reaching your cup—ours are made fresh and shipped direct. Many of those imported capsules are roasted up to 3 months before you even open the box, often in countries with inconsistent quality control.
By doing everything under one roof, we ensure exceptional freshness, strict quality standards, and total transparency—from sourcing to the final pour.
