The greatest trick coffee pod companies ever pulled was convincing people to pay more for cheap coffee wrapped in trash.
Tens of billions of single-use coffee pods and capsules are used every year. Many are made from mixed plastic, foil, aluminum, filters, lids, and wet coffee grounds, which makes them annoying or impossible to recycle through normal curbside systems. Even the 'recyclable' ones often require special collection programs most people don't have easy access to.
The pod gives you one cup of coffee, then leaves behind a tiny piece of manufactured garbage that may outlive you.
