Independent coffee brand, CafePod, has announced the launch of Decaf Supercharger Espresso, a new flavour of decaf coffee. The decaf coffee gives notes of spiced roasted chestnuts and provides a darker and bolder alternative to the brand’s current decaf option, allowing consumers more variety in their non-caffeinated selections. Victoria Russell, head of marketing at CafePod, said: “Supercharger Espresso is our bestseller and we’re delighted to have perfected a decaf version. Decaf should never be a compromise. This blend is full-bodied and packed full of flavour. We’re excited for everyone to try it.” The Nespresso-compatible pods are made from 80% recycled aluminium which take 90% less energy to produce compared to primary aluminium pods. The pods are 100% recyclable and available to buy on the brand’s website, or online retailers Amazon and Ocado.
