“Sustainable”

Coffee can, single piece of packaging for months on end.

Vs.

K-cups, paper, dyes, increased packaging volumes, increased energy in production, increased raw materials, increased trips to the store to purchase more, 6 month shelf life. Sustainable /s

Do people really not know that single cup electric makers have been a thing since at least the eighties? Mine is one my dad bought in 85, a black and Decker one.

One scoop of coffee in a washable filter (which, btw is still the original one, no issues), pour water, hit the switch, walk away. Makes a pleasant gurgle when finished.

And it isn't like there weren't single cup options before that, they just weren't necessarily electric. Shit, my grandfather would make single cups with a cloth tea bag and a percolator stuck into some embers when camping, back when he would take us kids out before we drank coffee too.

Fuck keurig.

I thought we already solved that? Like i got my keurig some metal mesh cups. And i just put the coffee in that. This screams more of a new method of controlling what goes into the machine. They are like the HP of tea kettles.

They look a bit like the coffee balls that Hofmann reviewed a while back https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JICKZOdDtVc

A good drip coffee maker is so much better for the environment. Worst case, you throw out a bag and a paper filter, best case, only coffee grounds if you get the beans straight from a market.

So instead of throwing away coffee pods, people will be throwing away coffee machines.
