4WKS , Compostable Coffee Pods
Shifting Coffee, Culture and Habits.
The coffee culture in Cape Town is undeniable. Cape Town has some of the best roasteries and baristas. There is a coffee shop on almost every corner. Coffee is so ingrained in my daily life, that my day doesn’t start without a hot brew. A few years ago, we purchased a Nespresso™ machines. which we loved but the novelty wore off when I saw all of the coffee pods that were being tossed in garbage.
Soooo I did a happy dance when I found out about 4WKS. 4WKS produces compostable coffee pods that fit a Nespressoâ„¢ machines..

The coffee pods work exactly the same way a Nespressoâ„¢ Pod. would work.
