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.

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.

You can also order ESE pods straight from the region of Naples, Italy, they're pretty good.

I've seen these in hotels in Canada, but it was for use with a standard 4-cup machine
