MEET X-CUP

PRESERVING FRESHNESS
THE PLANET-FRIENDLY WAY.

Meet X-CUP™, a fully recyclable pod made from up to 25% recycled material that consistently outperforms thermoformed cups by keeping oxygen out and sealing freshness in. Because of its multi-layer barrier, this future-ready single-serve capsule will protect even your best roasts.

SCORE THE REWARDS.

Unmatched performance, minimal capsule failure – and far less oxygen flowing in to pilfer
the freshness from your grounds.

Patent-pending energy director reduces cup failure during production process, improving your manufacturing efficiency

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.
