Keurig's new K-Rounds coffee pods are plastic-free and could finally make single-serve coffee-making sustainable (www.techradar.com)

This is quite exciting in that it removes plastic waste. I see no reason why different companies can't make different shape ones to maintain their lock-in. I expect a knock-off market to pop-up, but that exists with plastic pods too. It's a step in the right direction at least.

Noone else is using Senseo dosettes ?

Also known as ESE pods and available for order from Amazon, and coffee specialty sites!

3rd party Senseo pads are a godsend; good easy fast coffee with a paper filtered coffee pad that just decomposes. I'm sad that it didn't work out over Keurig.

I think I've only seen these in France, which is crazy because it's such a simple and elegant solution to this "problem".

Senseo is everywhere in the EU. Personally, I rank it below homemade filter coffee though.

What are those?

Basically, a single dose of coffee, wrapped, and sealed in traditional coffee filter material, which is inserted into the machine,can be thrown in to the compost.

So I'm learning that the Keurig isn't even innovative. Shame!
