“Aluminium pods are ok because they're recyclable - right?” 🤔

Yeah, and technically I’m "going to the gym" tomorrow 🤥

Here's what the big foreign brands won't tell you:

🗑️ The Landfill Reality: About 70% of those shiny aluminium pods get dumped into landfill. They will hang out in the dirt longer than Cher’s career (and not look half as good).

🔋 The Recycling Drama: For the few that actually get recycled, it is a massive effort. Shredding, separating, burning varnish, and re-smelting uses more energy than a toddler on a sugar high.

🚢 The Euro Baggage: The corporate giants ship most of these aluminium pods all the way from Europe with more baggage than a Bachelor contestant.

No solution is 100% perfect, but we believe Aussie-made, compostable* pods are the best choice for our planet.

Drink better coffee, ditch the aluminium guilt, and feel amazing about your morning routine 🌻

Hi, I’m Toby, the guy behind Urban Brew 👋

Here's the dirty secret the big brands hide: you aren't paying for better beans. You’re funding a slow boat from Europe 🚢

They roast overseas and let pods sit in shipping containers for months. You pay a 'Corporate Coffee Tax' for coffee that went stale in the Indian Ocean 🌊

They were taking Aussies for a ride. So, I built a local roastery to take on the giants. Coffee should be fresh, not 'well-travelled'.

Beat the system in 3 steps 👇

1. Local & Direct: We kicked the middleman out of the group chat (he was annoying anyway) so you get roaster-direct prices 👋

2. Volume Discounts: The more you buy, the cheaper it gets. It’s like knowing a guy, who knows a guy, who owns a roastery 🤫

3. Subscribe & Save: Lock in up to 40% off. The easiest way to give yourself a raise. You can cancel in two clicks – we're not a gym 😉

Stop settling for stale dust. Upgrade to the fresh coffee your machine deserves ☕

We chose Google & Feefo because they don't have a "delete" button. It’s scary, but it forces us to be better than the rest.
