The Café La Llave K-Cup coffee pods have been announced by F. Gaiña & Sons as its first range of single-serve coffee pods that will offer consumers an easy way to enjoy premium java from home. The pods are compatible with Keurig K-Cup brewers and will launch at retailers later this month for shoppers to pick up. The coffee product has been announced alongside a partnership with TerraCycle that will help to get the pods recycled for free.
Vice-President of Marketing at F. Gaviña & Son Leonor Gaviña-Valls spoke on the new Café La Llave K-Cup coffee pods saying, "We are excited to see our Café La Llave brand evolve to reach different generations of coffee drinkers who brew and enjoy coffee in a variety of ways, using everything from Keurig and Nespresso machines to the abuela-trusted ‘cafetera’ on the stovetop. Our coffee pod coffees are also perfect for those who want a fast and no-fuss way to prepare coffee, but still want all the bold and aromatic flavor packed into Café La Llave’s signature dark-roasted coffee."
