As I just posted, Lavazza pods are wholly compostable - no aluminium. I
do not know the substances used but they have been available for some
time now.

Industrial composting not domestic. You need to check if your local
council will accept them in food waste collections. If they don't
you're into taking them to a terracycle drop off point that does.

True - but they are for me.

The problem here being that since they don't actually tell you what
they're made of (only that they meet a certain standard) you may have
trouble finding out if they're OK.

I'll stick to paper filters.

This statement - and variants - is widespread:

"According to Lavazza, its new compostable pods break down in just six months when combined with food waste for council collection."

I can't remember the exact words I saw when they first came out, but that is the message I picked up.

well I have made my mine up. I like the idea Of bean to pod, but a
far to expensive. I am going for the Tassimo pod, "Happy by name and I
hope by nature. I do not feel that I have enough time on this earth to
get value from the bean version. Sorry to all you environmentalists.
