Sustainability
Information on our sustainability contribution to leaving the world as clean as possible.
Why is organic better than conventional quality?
All the teas and coffees used are certified organic and controlled according to EU legislation on organic farming. Organic means food that is as natural as possible and produced without the use of synthetic chemical pesticides. This means intact habitats for local animals and plants, respecting natural life cycles. The goal is to offer you a healthy, tasty and authentic food, made in harmony with nature.
Why are MY COFFEE CUP capsules more sustainable than capsules made of conventional plastic?
Our capsules have been certified² by TÜV Austria and DIN CERTCO and are made of an industrially compostable material that complies with the European standard EN 13432. This means they can be biodegraded within a short time in industrial composting plants. Conventional plastic capsules made of non-compostable material only decompose into smaller and smaller pieces, known as microplastics, which pollute the environment even after hundreds of years.
Our products are climate neutral¹ from cultivation to your home. In this way, you always make an ecological contribution with MY COFFEE CUP. During recycling, CO₂ neutrality¹ means that only as much harmful CO₂ is emitted as was previously bound by the natural raw materials of the capsules or the aroma pouch, or as was compensated for by us through the support of climate protection projects.

General
Information about our brand and general information about our products.
UniCaps is the name of our company that manufactures the capsules with great expertise and care. MY COFFEE CUP is the name of the umbrella brand under which we offer MY COFFEE CUP organic coffee and MY TEA CUP organic tea.
We are as enthusiastic tea connoisseurs as we are coffee connoisseurs. We want to expand the capabilities of your Nespresso®³, which can prepare not only coffee but also tea capsules, depending on your needs and the time of day.
Our goal is to be able to offer more and more people our environmentally friendly and climate-neutral¹ My Coffee Cup organic products. Since not all households have a capsule machine, we decided to expand our range with fair trade organic coffee beans. This means that customers with fully automatic machines, portafilter or filter machines, French press, etc. can also enjoy the best My Coffee Cup organic coffee.
My Coffee Cup organic coffee beans are currently only available in Germany and Switzerland. We will inform you about product launches in the other markets in due time.
On the one hand, we offer sustainable organic tea capsules and organic coffee capsules made predominantly (96%) from renewable raw materials. The result is excellent, natural taste with a good conscience – and it’s quick and easy. On the other hand, we carry whole coffee beans. These are not only certified organic and Fairtrade, but also packaged in a particularly environmentally friendly way, in an innovative aroma bag without aluminum and conventional plastic. All our products are also certified as CO₂-neutral¹ by ClimatePartner. We offset all emissions caused by cultivation and transport, for example, through various climate protection projects.
Our products are therefore all organic quality, compostable² and climate-neutral¹ certified. The organic coffee bean also Fairtrade certified.
My Coffee Cup organic coffee beans are currently only available in Germany and Switzerland. We will inform you about product launches in the other markets in due time.

Our organic teas
Information on the origin of the tea, the wide range of products and our quality promise.
We use only organic certified teas and herbal blends of excellent quality.
All our organic teas and herbal blends come from controlled organic cultivation.We source our ingredients from reputable distributors as well as some directly from local producers.
We use only natural teas, herbs, fruits and flavors. There are no artificial additives in our organic products.
With Aroma Technology, we have developed a mechanical crushing process that reduces the classic tea brewing time to just a few seconds. Thus, the full flavor of our organic teas comes unadulterated into your cup at the touch of a button.
The special process creates a larger surface area that allows the water to penetrate the tea leaves very quickly and effectively dissolve the essential oils. In addition, the high pressure in the capsule machine supports the perfect development of the aroma in just 40 seconds.
Our capsules
Information on disposal, material, durability, certification and more.
To give you a sustainable alternative that helps avoid piles of trash. So you can enjoy delicious organic coffee and organic tea from the capsule machine without harming the environment unnecessarily!
Our capsules are oxygen-tight and aroma-protected and therefore have a very long shelf life – the organic tea capsules for three years after production and the organic coffee capsules for at least 18 months. You can find the exact expiration date on the packaging.
All our capsules are industrially compostable, do not contain aluminum and, moreover, are not based on petroleum. Our capsules consist predominantly (at least 62%) of renewable raw materials such as lignin, a component of wood, as well as natural starch and glucose.
You can dispose of your used capsules, after consultation with the municipal waste disposal company, in your organic waste garbage can or with a clear conscience in the residual waste.
Some of the industrial composting plants are designed for the short rotting time of, for example, fruit or garden waste. Due to the longer rotting time of the capsules, some of them are sorted out and end up in an incinerator.
Because the capsules are certified as climate-neutral¹, no additional CO₂ is released into the atmosphere when they are incinerated in a waste-to-energy plant.
Handling
Everything you need to know to get the perfect coffee in your cup.
MY COFFEE CUP organic coffee capsules fit into popular Nespresso®³ capsule machines.
MY TEA CUP organic tea capsules are also available for Nespresso®³ machines.
Unfortunately, the capsules cannot be used in Miele built-in machines, nor for the Nescafé Dolce Gusto® System, the Nespresso®³ Pro System and the Nespresso®³ Vertuo® Line System.
Other capsule formats are in preparation.
The My Coffee Cup capsules have been specially developed for capsule machines of the Nespresso®³ systems, so they cannot damage them. We also continuously check the smooth functionality of new models. If damage does occur, an individual examination must determine whether this is due to the My Coffee Cup capsules if you wish to claim compensation.
Our packaging shows which amount of water develops the optimal taste. Our tea capsules for Nespresso®³ machines are optimized for approximately 220 ml, i.e. two large cups. Espresso and Ristretto (40 ml) are prepared by pressing the button with the small cup symbol once. All other varieties yield 110 ml of delicious organic coffee, which is equivalent to pressing the button with the large cup symbol once.
Sometimes it can happen that coffee in capsules compacts due to transport and the brewing result is affected as a result. If you shake the organic capsule briefly before use, nothing stands in the way of organic enjoyment!
