Few can argue against the convenience of drink pod systems like Keurig and Nespresso; theyâre simple to operate, and they make consistent cups of coffee quickly, and cleanup involves discarding the spent pod into the bin. The advantages of these single-serve coffee cups, however, are outweighed by the environmental cost of additional packaging, some of which is plastic.
One coffee roaster in the UK has created a 100% compostable coffee pod that delivers a caffeinated punch without contributing to the plastic garbage epidemic.
âWe know our customers want the convenience of being able to make a quality cup of coffee at home but without the guilt of chucking more plastic or aluminum into landfills,â says Stuart Wilson, Founder of Lost Sheep Coffee.
