"Working with distribution partners such as ECS Coffee is an excellent opportunity for NEXE to continue to introduce our products to new customers seeking convenience and high-quality coffee beverages while reducing single-serve waste This promotion will serve to complement our direct-to-consumer efforts and growing list of retail offerings on the horizon," said Ash Guglani, president of NEXE in a statement.
"Our environmentally-friendly pod was engineered to maximize coffee extraction, be self-protected and prevent exposure to oxygen and water vapour to maintain freshness," he added.
NEXE's sustainable pods are produced in Canada and packed with organic coffee from carefully selected ethically sourced producers in Peru. The organic coffee beans are carefully procured from a producer in Peru and brought to the facility in British Columbia, where they are roasted, ground and packed into the NEXE Pod. The single-serve, proprietary, plant-based NEXE pods are made from 100% compostable materials, manufactured in North America, and break down completely in municipal composting facilities in as few as 35 days.
"We are very excited to launch the NEXE pod at ECS Coffee. We have been retailing and distributing single-serve coffee pods in Canada for over 15 years. NEXE is the first premium coffee pod to offer our customers a true earth-friendly coffee option for their Keurig® brewer. And having tasted the coffees this past week, I immediately placed an order. The quality is outstanding," said Neil Madden, president of ECS Coffee.
Mordor Intelligence estimates that the single-serve coffee pod and capsule market was valued at US$25.07 billion in 2020, and it is projected to register a CAGR of 7.07% during the period between 2021-2026.
