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 was surprised to learn that the store brand k-cups around here are already fully compostable. It’s just a biodegradable plastic ring with half a sphere of coffee filter on the bottom and a paper disc on top.

I solved this problem by not drinking coffee. I know, it's blasphemy I don't need daily caffeine to function.

Edit: I feel like the people downvoting this have muttered the words "I can't start my day without coffee" and least once in their life.

Coffee will never be sustainable. We will all keep drinking it but this is just a feel good movement of making something slightly less bad than it used to be.
