Cafédirect Americano Premium Coffee Capsule Pack

This is the first premium Americano coffee (made with 100% Arabica beans) capsule pack that is available in our supermarkets.  The capsules are also compatible with Nespresso machines.  The price is kept very affordable at only $8.90 (pack of 10) at FairPrice Xtra and Finest outlets.  I tried the coffee and it was rich, smooth and yet not that intense.  Do give it a try!

Background on Cafédirect:

-  As a business, Cafédirect is different: Growers have shares in the company, and have two seats on the Cafédirect Board of Directors.
-  Our unique approach has seen Cafédirect paying fair prices and working directly with smallholder growers so that they can develop their businesses and increase their influence in highly competitive commodity markets.
-  Over the last 5 years, Cafédirect has invested over US$ 5.4 million in tailor-made programmes to strengthen growers’ businesses (our PPP), which represents more than 50% of our profits.

-  In a survey of 2,000 brands by Millward Brown* in 2007, Cafédirect emerged as the Most           Recommended Brand in the UK.
