This decision makes us very happy, and today, for our anniversary, we want to reward.
Throughout this first year as a coffee company, we have been responsible for motivating everyone to consume natural coffees, whole grains and of course freshly ground. This work, despite not being simple at all, has been bearing fruit.
We know that you are dying of curiosity to discover what is so special that Incapto Coffee has in store for former coffee capsule consumers, after having taken that important step and leaning towards natural. That is why we invite you to continue reading.
Why quitting capsules is the best decision?
Before moving forward, we have something very important to tell you in case you still don't decide to completely abandon single doses.
About 39 thousand coffee capsules worldwide. However, the most worrying thing about the matter is that it is estimated that only about 4% of them are recycled, meaning that per year they would be 20 billion. Some experts in the area claim that if they are placed next to each other they could give around the world up to 14 times! This means that only a small number of them can be recycled.
But this is not all, your health is also at risk. Following a study published by the University of Barcelona details that this class of products contains a compound called furan, which is a toxic carcinogenic compound. If consumed in excess, it can be harmful.
Furan occurs naturally in coffee roasting, but preserved foods, such as coffee capsules, prevent these volatile compounds from escaping, so once the coffee is extracted by water injection the furans end up in the cup.
You can access more information about the presence of furan in coffee capsules in these posts:

As you will see, these are alarming data that, if not taken into account, can cause a lot of damage. That's why, Incapto Coffee, invites you to consume natural, bean and freshly ground coffee. It is the way to live a unique experience, without having to affect your health, the Planet and support the hard work that coffee farmers do.
Can the capsules be recycled?
There is a lot of controversy about this point, but the truth is that recycling them is very complex. Since it is organic matter within a aluminum or plastic, could take up to 100 years to completely disintegrate.
The main problem is that They cannot be thrown in the yellow container, since it contains coffee grounds, nor in that of organic waste.
In fact, it could take three times as long if the organic remains that usually remain lodged there cannot be completely extracted.
The problem of recycling therefore comes from the basis, since economically it is not worth it to recycle such small quantities of plastic and aluminum. The process of separating it from the coffee grounds is very expensive.
Recycling incorrectly It is another point that cannot be overlooked. Most consumers do not pay attention or, due to lack of time, place them in the wrong containers, making the process even more difficult. Furthermore, it is very normal for them to be thrown directly into the general trash.

Coffee beans will always be the best option
In short, coffee beans It is good for you, for your pocket and for the Planet. Completely putting an end to coffee capsules continues to be a rather complicated task, but not impossible.
As a coffee company, we will encounter a number of obstacles along the way. but we will continue to promote, above all things, the consumption of the grain through our origin coffees. In case you didn't know, most of these are specialty, which means they have more than 80 points on the scale of the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) and the Arabica species, but all are 100% natural and sustainable.
We could spend all day talking about the benefits of consuming whole bean and freshly ground coffee. But what we can tell you is that, in this way, You will be able to delight yourself, not only with a good cup, but you will also help preserve each of its properties., admire the caramel cream that adorns the cup and something as simple as enjoying its pleasant aroma.
It goes without saying that the quality of a coffee in capsules will never be equal to a freshly ground one. Fortunately, there are many consumers who have reconciled themselves with grain and more and more people are joining what we call the Coffee Revolution.
If you still have doubts between the capsule and the grain, it is normal. However, making a quick decision could make a difference. The Planet needs you, just like those families of coffee farmers who work very hard to produce top-notch coffees.
In Incapto Coffee, we will be ready to provide the best options, whether with our beans or accessories with a sustainable label, such as our coffee shell cups or preparation methods of any of the super-automatic coffee machines that we have in stock.
