Coffee grounds is also bio degradable.
I don't really understand the need for the pods. Coffee is best fresh roasted and freshly grinded, which the ones in pods are absolutely not. Once i saw an ad where they sold "vintage coffee" nice rebranding to sell old ass pods, this isn't wine.
Then they made these coffee balls that fit in a new machine, what are you doing?? Instead ob buying beans and grind them in your machine that can grind all the coffee, people rather buy some pre-ground weird ass coffee balls?
Some people don't care about the flavor of their coffee, only how much of a buzz it can give them and how quickly. Either that or they've been conditioned by Starbucks marketing to think that stale, burned coffee actually tastes good.
You have the wrong comparison: k-cups == convenience
-- compared to instant coffee, k-cups make much, MUCH better coffee
— if you’re going to fresh grind, yeah I don’t know why you would use that machine. Probably just the inconvenience of having more than one.
— My compromise is a Keurig for when I want convenience or variety, and a French Press for when I want something nicer
I have a Kcup adapter to put in fresh coffee. No waste at all.
