As someone without the best coffee palette instant coffee is great. It’s not going to be as good as the fanciest brew but it’s good enough. If someone’s considering giving instant a try I want to mention that unlike coco mix it generally melts easily in cold water. So it’s a really good option if you are more of an iced coffee kind of person.

There are home compostable Nespresso-compatible pods already available in Europe. In Austria, they are made by the coffee company Julius Meinl, but there are others.

I solved coffee pod waste many many years ago. fresh roasted beans, grind them before brewing (atmospheric or pressurized; take yer pick of gear), and after that, I end up with…. Far more variety, better quality coffee, for less money. imagine that!

It's as if their entire business model hinders on the existence of pods. They made the problem, they need to solve it.

The issue is the coffee that produce from these pods are not as good due to the pressure required to extract coffee so it did not latched on. Reusable pods is one way to help, but nespresso go out of their way to prevent us from using these reusable pods. Avoid any pods machine if you want to reduce waste!

I swear by my AeroPress. It does use paper filters but they are tiny in comparison to traditional coffee filters. I could get a metal screen filter for it and probably will at some point, but the main thing for me is it makes a high quality cup of coffee. Much better than most single use options I've tried.

@pushslice

Just because I’m geeky I have a number of brewers, but the aeropress holds a very special place. It’s awesome. And yes, I would recommend the metal screen, as it does qualitatively produce a different cup than the paper filters. not necessarily better, just different; and IMO it’s worth it for adding even further the AP’s already nice versatility.

I use bosch tassimo. They dont have only coffee but hot chocolate and tea in pods, very popular in Europe

Being coffee person I am I love using an expresso machine. I extract the flavors at the high temps you don't get from standard coffee brewers and the coffee grounds I compost. Really no waste except the bag the coffee beans come in. I don't need coffee filters either, Use premium grounder to grind a fine as I can get it most of the time. After all coffee is all about the coffee bean, the ground, the water, and the heat you brew it at. premium cup of coffee every time!

Any guesses on the secret plastic mixture? I feel like the easy option is a chaff-fill (fiber fill I suppose) PLA - so the ingredients I guess is pigment and PLA pellets, similar to coffee fill and algae fill PLA. Probably a lot cheaper than using non-oilen (and the conditions needed to compost lines up similar to PLA). At first I was wondering if they were making PLA from the chaff instead of corn but that might be hard.

Nice. One video to tank the stock of Keurig. Sustainable coffee should be a must. From end to end. Great video. Thanks!!

It's way I either brew it traditional pot, French press or just instant coffee when I m on the run 😅

Wow! I am now rethinking purchasing a Keurig machine for my home 😮

Also, pod coffee tastes weak. French press tastes way better. Makes coffee as strong as you want with metal screen. Just scoop out the grounds with a spoon, compost or toss 'em. Then a quick rinse of the press pot. Done!!

We saw the environmental affect from day one when keurig is marketed and how come those companies with million dollars and all engineers couldn’t see that, how come government institutions didn’t regulate them from the beginning.

What happens to all the plastic bags that people put nespresso pods in?

Industrial Composting basically means that it isn't recyclable. How would you sort that out? You can't put it in the BIO trash because they don't normally do adequate (for bioplastic) industrial composting and the normal trash can't sort it out.

Why do I have to choose one of the coffee mug solutions? Whether plastic, aluminum or organic. You can choose a machine with an automatic grinder for making coffee beans, which does not have replaceable filters or cups. He also brews great coffee, like a barista in a cafe.

I’ve used the same reusable pod with all natural filters for more than three years now. Just use that. They’re pretty cheap and sold in most grocery stores.

How energy efficient is shipping used pods for recycling, counting all the steps?

A recyclable mail in program using petroleum vehicles to transport them to a center, does anyone see the irony here?

Cometeer is the best way to make coffee and has such a delicious and unique taste! I only wish I had discovered it sooner! It’s a great way and perfect for any minimalist, as well.

Just a note. You can get specialty instant coffee from various companies that is absolutely delicious. Its a lot more expensive than standard supermarket instant coffee but it is waaayyy nicer.

They speak abou the biodegradable coffepod but not about the plastic packaging that it comes in?!

I wonder why companies haven't come out with a mini-version of a custom grind machine. We used to have one at work. You'd just pour beans. And, it would self grind. (Also, had milk options which seems a bit complex for home use.)

So I'm lazy and have little time in the mornings. I first had a cheap coffe machine that was able to hold 4 cups - the problem is you HAVE to clean it both daily and a deep clean monthly or bacteria will grow in that thing like a petri dish. I tried the french press (didn't buy it though a friend lent it to me while he was on vacation) and honestly it was more or less convenient - but still you had to at least wash it before using it again. So I caved in for the pods, takes like 10 seconds to brew coffee and I only clean the water deposit every week or so ... I do the descaling thing every month or two but still very convenient on a day to day basis. The problem is the pods are getting more and more expensive every day ... and this documentary clearly opened my eyes to the intricacies of recycling them ( I usually save them in a separate bag and throw them at local recycling containers specifically for the type of pod). What I will be trying next is reusable pods, a cousin bought them for the Keurig and they seem to work well (mine's a Dolce Gusto) I know they are slightly less convenient having to wash them but I feel that as long as I throw the used coffee I can just throw them in the sink with some water and wash them later.

Hmm, guess I'm buying a French Press. Good video.

cant believe that instant coffee wins in that category.

I use re-usable inserts for Keurig machine, and enjoy many different Grinds, never used Kcups in Keurig Machine

Saltspring coffee started to sell their coffee in cardboard containers was really good but seen they just went back to plastic. Hopefully other companies can set an example

I empty the used coffee from my Nespresso and put it in my garden (great compost) then recycle the aluminum pod at a local collection facility. No, it’s not a messy or lots of work process and the 2000 + landfills give off methane regardless of more coffee chaff. Put the coffee grounds into your garden soil, or someone who gardens, instead and have better soil. Plastic just sucks regardless.

Nothing beats a French press, an arabica kettle or a pour over. The only waste that comes out of these is the ground coffee.

I currently use reusable pods with mini coffee filters that are built for it, so it’s easier to clean out the coffee grounds from my reusable pods. It’s cheaper to buy a big bag of ground coffee or coffee beans to ground fresh coffee, than it is to buy single serve pods. I can spend $5-7 on a bag of coffee that’ll stretch for like 5-6 months vs $7-12 on 12-15 pods, that’ll last me less than 2wks, that is a waste of money.

I hope we can eliminate plastic and find a suitable replacement that is actually eco-friendly and biodegradable.

I use my Keurig with a reusable steel pod and fill it with fresh ground coffee. The trick for the reusable steel pods is using a disposable paper filter, some even come with a (paper) lid so you just throw them away similar to a pod, but it's just paper and coffee. If you use a reusable steel pod they could sell you just the paper coffee pad and it would be exactly as convenient as a regular pod No need for a new machine, just a reusable steel pod.

Are fully automatic coffee machines (like Jura, Siemens, Nivona, Delonghi etc.) not a thing in America? We in Germany are used to this. So there is no plastic/aluminium waste from pods etc.

Ive always used instant coffee especially bustelo i cant stand waiting for my coffee during the summer i drink mine warm winter is when i make it hot

I like the breakdown at the end but they left out the old standby of 4-12 cup drips. One paper filter can make up to 12 cups, uses less coffee per cup, and less energy per cup.

But even then, there are environmental costs. It's probably best not to drink coffee at all. Or eat anything you haven't organically grown yourself.

recycling buy backs seems to be the best idea, make the pods out of a recyclable material like aluminium (mentioned in this video) and have an initial cost incurred on the product for the recycling of that waste and have a buy back machine in every store which would give you your money back upon recycling. It's already done with plastic bottles but maybe it's not as viable in this case idk. Another idea would be to develope an app which rates customers and stores on their recyclability credentials or buy back uptake and if you have a high rating then you would be rewarded with discounts, coupons or have the initial incurred cost be less (this one would be most costly to administate though)

I bought about 7 reusable pods off Amazon and at the end of the week, I wash them and refill them. Good thing I only drink coffee before work lol

For me the easiest way is using the Keurig with reusable pods, obviously with a nice ground Colombian coffee.

I just use a reusable silicon pod and my own coffee beans. I prepare them all before hand and put them in a sealed Ziploc bag with an air absorber. What waste issue?

If you want the convenience of a pod coffee but with more choice get a bean to cup. Yeah they cost more up front but you pay about a quarter as much per coffee as you do with a pod, the only wase is coffee grounds and the the tase is much better. I picked up an ex display model Jura when I was a student for about twice the price of a Nesspresso machine, have used it with no issues for the last 12 years and have probably saved thousands.

Espresso Snob/Former Nespresso Addict here: My Starbucks Premium Instant is A+++ quality at 1 tsp per cup from a recyclable $10 mini tin that lasts a month with ZERO waste not even grounds... yeah I'm good.

If you want the ease of pods but no waste try pad machines like a Senseo. The pads are just coffee and filter paper and can be composted even in my home compost without residues. Ok you can't really get espresso like a Nespresso machine since the pressure is lower but all supermarket in Germany carry several house brands and every large coffee manufacturer hat its own pads. Although I don't know if you can get the machine and pads in the USA.

My friend has one the Nespresso machines She does the mail option since the recycling where we live is crap. It's funny cause she's all about loose leaf tea.

Nespresso wasn't the first brewing product on the Swiss market. It started with Tassimo, a far more complete brewing system that switched from a boiler to a flow heater when manufacturing was handed to Bosch - I had both the old and the new variant. Nespresso came years later. And no, Tassimo's capsules didn't recycle well in those days.. Meanwhile, I now have a machine that takes beans. The only waste there is the water filter (still looking for a solution for that).

I used tassimo and keurig for years. I stopped 2 years ago for environmental reasons. I don't plan on going back even if they become recyclable. Because most will still end up in the land fill.

I'd like to see the weight of the coffee containers the folders coffee comes in. I bet most of those don't get recycled.

Reusable K-pods is an option you did not show. They now come in stainless steel and last for years. It's cheaper and create very little waste. Less costly plastic reusable pods are also an option. With these you will eventually discard one small plastic compared the hundreds of the single use.

About 8 years ago I won two coffee machines that use pods, the catch I found was that they would ring me every 6 weeks so I could order their pods as I could not buy pods off the shelf. I have been using one still using the same pods that came with the machine not eve opened the other one yet. As it came with 500 pods each machine. I have been looking for a reusable pod for either of them so far all the ones I have bought don’t work but that’s okay I still have plenty of coffee between both machines. I drink Maccona coffee have done for over 30 years, it’s expensive as instant coffee goes, but the jar is reusable looks nice and all my pantry goods use the jars once empty. If I have no use for the jars I send them on to the op-shop so someone else can use the jars. I only buy the coffee when it’s on sale. As it’s half the price then so I get 2 jars for the price of one. I also have a French press as well as an Italian stove top coffee brewing kettle. Depending on my mode will dictate how I drink my coffee at that time. So far I have not found a brand of coffee that tops Maccona for quality and taste in different strengths and flavours.

I have a keurig and use it for hot water for instant coffee, and teas.

The compostable pods are great and actually work, better than the reusable cups because no cleaning.

Well I’ll always be a Nespresso person, but I always recycle them. And they’re also coming out with compostable capsules as well.

The big issue is that these company are making them not reusable, and that you can only used branded ones for their machines. Don't use these types of machines, get a small machine that has a coffee handle and get a nice grind you like and use that, with time and practice you'll be making coffees better than cafes at home :)

Now hear me out What if they put the coffee granules in a recyclable tin, that was resealable so the coffee doesn't go stale. And then you scooped out the coffee you need, into the espresso machine, and it made your coffee exactly the same ✨

Can they not make a coffee bag similar to a tea bag?

That's probably patented by Senseo
