Keurig Unveils New Plastic-Free K-Round Pods
Keurig unveiled their new K-Rounds, pressed coffee grounds wrapped in a mostly invisible plant-based coating, alongside their new Alta machine. Both will begin beta testing later this year for a potential launch in 2025. #keurig #coffee #home #gadgets #hometech

Just ignore all the plastic in the millions of machines that are made.

They made some reusable cups that you can refill with your own coffee.

@@reezdog I know. That’s not what I’m talking about. The machine itself is made of plastic and there are millions out there.

Yeah. I’ve used one for the last 15 years (3 actually). I’m getting a little tired of the routine maintenance.

@mike73ng Try Delonghi machines. Very easy to clean brew head 👌 and make great coffees. Keurig and Nespresso machines do need maintenance as well, its just people are ignoring

Keurig did not came up with anything. They just bought the license from Coffee B in Switzerland from Migros group, but I am glad they are moving away from Alu and plastic 😉

I mean alu requires energy to melt, but at least it can be reused, while plastic is made from oil… if you produce the energy to melt the aluminum without fossil fuels , alu might even be better than a plant based product that requires farmland (which destroys nature)
