Full disclosure: My company sells pods on our website. But my words are fact.

Not to split hairs, but it’s worth noting that the single serve cups that you describe are not actually Pods. Pods are packaged in compostable filter-paper and are brewed using a different method than K-cups.

Pods actually produce roughly 75% less waste than K-Cups produce, making them a much more environmentally friendly choice.

Crikey, this needs an editor.

“The founding the tenets”

“but has has”

“one measurements”

“a pilot program that keep”

“that control the “protect technology…”"

“a lot more wasteful” (you meant less)

I’m sure there are more, too.

Classic what? Classically pre-ground coffee that’s left oxidizing for weeks on trucks and store shelves so it can taste as stale as possible by the time you brew it? Classically optimized for maximum materials strip mining, processing, and waste with every serving of coffee? Or classically obsessing about recycle as if it throws reduce and reuse under the bus in terms of importance and impact?

These things are an abomination to both good taste and the environment.
