San Francisco Bay OneCUP 100% Colombian vs Tayst Medium & Magnificent Coffee Pods

The compostable option, if you can reach a commercial composter

Scores higher on what is in the capsule, cost per cup, and per kilo, sourcing & certification.

The everyday Tayst pod, and the one to try the certification on before buying a case

Scores higher on recycling & disposal, system, range & availability.

• +Single-origin Colombia sourcing gives this a defined flavor identity that most K-Cup medium roasts lack.
• +The 80-count box is one of the largest standard K-Cup formats available, which reduces restocking frequency for heavy users.
• +BPI-certified commercially compostable capsule material is a practical disposal advantage over standard plastic K-Cups.

• −San Francisco Bay Coffee prints no retail price on the product listing, so buyers must check the current box price at the point of sale.
• −The Melozio's aluminium mail-back recycling is accessible to more US buyers than commercial composting, which requires municipal or local infrastructure.
• −The 80-count box commits buyers to a large quantity of one profile with no variety within the purchase.

• +The least polarising blend in the range, and no more expensive than the others
• +Rainforest Alliance beans and BPI certified pod, both audited independently
• +Lighter body than Bold & Brazen without being weak
• +Same $1.04 pod price as the decaf, which is unusual

• −$1.04 a pod, against $0.64 for the same certification from San Francisco Bay
• −Commercial composting only, so the certification depends on where you live
• −No dose or origin published, so no price per kilo and no origin filter
• −Only 40 pods in the smallest box
