    I do wonder how much waste a pod generates vs a bag of coffee beans. Like, if you weigh an empty bag of beans, it’s a lot of material. I wish more roasters would switch to compostable bags, but of course they’re more expensive and probably don’t keep the coffee as fresh.

      Hmmm the roaster I use always has compostable bags, I hadn’t even thought of buying any that aren’t compostable. Along with using a french press, it’s pretty much the closest I can get to sustainable with good coffee. I just compost the coffee grounds separately from the rest.
