Tayst Bold & Brazen Coffee Pods vs Tayst Medium & Magnificent Coffee Pods

A dark, cocoa-heavy K-Cup for somebody who wants the pod compostable and does not want it weak

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

• +BPI certification covers the pod, lid, ring and mesh, not one component with the rest unsaid
• +Rainforest Alliance Certified beans, so the sourcing claim is audited rather than described
• +A $20 Down To Earth return kit gives you a composting route when your council has none
• +Cheaper per cup than Nespresso's Vertuo Melozio at $1.40

• −$1.04 a pod against $0.64 for San Francisco Bay's OneCUP, which carries the same BPI certification
• −Commercially compostable only, in a landfill bin the certification changes nothing
• −No bulk discount: 40, 50 and 60 pods all work out at the same $1.04
• −No dose published, so the price per kilo cannot be calculated
• −Origins not published for the blend

• +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
