### What to Know Before Buying
- Home Compostable vs. Industrial Compostable: Home-compostable pods (like Bun Coffee, Caldera, and Pod Life ) can break down in a backyard compost bin or soil over a few months. Industrial-compostable pods (like St Remio) require commercial high-heat facilities (60°C+ ) and should be checked against your local council's green waste rules. - Machine Compatibility: Nearly all plant-based pods on the Australian market fit Nespresso Original style machines. They are generally not compatible with Nespresso Vertuo or Keurig machines.
If you'd like to narrow down the right choice, let me know:
