Yes, this can happen in some cases.
Our home compostable capsules are made to break down as quickly as possible in a compost pile but also to preserve the quality of the coffee. Finding the right balance in breaking down the capsule and keeping it intact during preparation is incredibly important in this and is something we continue to optimize.
Our home compostable capsules are made of 82% paper pulp. In some cases, the capsule may expand slightly after contact with water.
We recommend waiting about 5 seconds after brewing your cup of coffee before lifting the lever to allow the built-up pressure on the capsule to first dissipate and reduce the risk of a disintegrating capsule.
