Injected layer of post-consumer recycled content
-
Precise dimensional control
-
Polypropylene #5 outer layer
Uniform wall thickness with multi-layer barrier protection keeps out oxygen, sealing in product freshness.
Injected layer of post-consumer recycled content creates a stronger barrier without virgin plastics.
Precise dimensional control creates consistent capsule performance, minimizing failure.
Polypropylene #5 outer layer for superior barrier protection and 100% recyclability.
THE X-CUP
FRESHNESS DIFFERENCE.
REDUCED OTR MEANS
LONGER-LASTING FRESHNESS.
Other pod designs lack a consistent thickness whereas X-CUP’s uniformly constructed walls significantly minimize the oxygen transmission rate (OTR) outer filter-welding.
As a result, your grounds stay fresher much longer. Simply put, X-CUP uses common sense to preserve your grounds – and without additives.
