    Especially for stuff like this, where the pods could easily (and often are) just replaced with stainless steel strainers + standard compostible paper filter liners that you load up with a tablespoon from a traditional container.

      that you load up with a tablespoon from a traditional container

      The point of the pods is to make money from people with two seconds to make their coffee. Yes, it’s wasteful and expensive, but that’s the point. You can make great coffee over an open fire. Or in a basic French press.

          “So you can craft your own unique blend of coffee flavours.” You can mix mild bran with strong bran. For a deliciously unique medium bran flavour.

        These pods could still be made from plant based alternatives and be compostables. Nothing about this needs to be plastic.

        The companies have to be forced to do that, we all well know they won’t otherwise.
