VANCOUVER, BC, Oct. 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ - NEXE Innovations Inc. ("NEXE" or the "Company"), (TSXV: NEXE) (OTC: NEXNF) (Frankfurt: NX5), a leader in plant-based materials manufacturing, is launching NEXE Coffee's first products to be sold in its patented NEXE Pods which are compatible with Keurig^® single-serve brewing systems.

The pods will be available for sale starting November 1, 2021, at nexecoffee.com. The Company intends to announce its brick and mortar sales strategy later this year.

All NEXE Coffee products are packaged exclusively in the Company's proprietary, single-serve, fully-compostable, plant-based NEXE pods. The unique design of the pod and filter enables NEXE to fill each pod with more coffee when compared to other leading coffee brands. This produces a superior taste profile resulting from NEXE's proprietary, best-in-class extraction method and pod technology.

"We created NEXE Pods for the ultimate coffee connoisseur. Our patented design with increased filter area results in increased coffee extraction, ultimately improving taste and richness," said Ash Guglani, President of NEXE. "Our tests showed that the NEXE Pod's total dissolved solids are 20% greater than other leading premium brands."

The NEXE Pod is made from completely plant-based materials and is the result of over six years of research and development. It breaks down in as few as 35 days in a municipal composting facility, about the time it takes for an apple core to decompose.

"This new line complements our existing NEXE Coffee espresso products, sold in Nespresso^®compatible, fully compostable pods," said Ash Guglani, President of NEXE. "Keurig^® and Nespresso^® are the two most popular single-serve coffee pod machines sold and used worldwide, positioning us well to serve the growing 60 billion pod per year market."

The launch of the Company's Keurig^® compatible single-serve pod comes after over six years of continuous R&D, which included the receipt and filing of multiple patents.

Grown in the mountains of Peru, the new blend uses 100% certified organic beans and is roasted to perfection for a rich and balanced flavour, medium acidity, and hints of brown sugar, lime, with an apple finish. The Nexe Coffee selection will be available in three different roasts:

Medium Roast
Medium-Dark Roast
Dark Roast

Each new blend is available in packages of 12 or 24 pods.

"We carefully select the producers and beans we use and have tested multiple roast profiles to extract the best flavors," added Guglani. "NEXE is committed to producing ethical and sustainable products. All of our products are manufactured and packaged in our Canadian facility located in British Columbia, using environmentally friendly manufacturing processes."
