gigachadNespresso capsules make so much trash. I can’t understand how anybody would use these to make their regular coffee.

Fuck Nestlé
VogiTrash is bad, but for me it actually is just that you would need to buy coffee in a special container, you can’t just go and buy the one you want as it has to be compatible with your fucking coffee machine?!?!?! fuck nestle
you can’t just go and buy the one you want as it has to be compatible with your fucking coffee machine
It’s not that big an issue if you know why, the 2 capsules are:
The issue was the original smaller one didn’t have a way to verify that you got it from Nespresso, so it got generic’d and there are thousands of others selling the capsules
Nespresso essentially copied the printer cartridge world and made a second version that as you can see has a barcode printed on the rim of it that the machine reads to confirm it’s bought from Nespresso
The main thing is simply don’t buy a coffee machine that requires the second capsule and then you’re free to get capsules wherever you want
I bought mine second hand and it had the second type and learned a valuable lesson that day :))
Matty_rI recall reading somewhere that the guy that invented it, regrets it and doesn’t even use then because of how bad they are for the environment.
That was the guy who made the Keurig. Though I use mine daily but I have the reusable pods, so ground coffee goes in pod, then make a cup, then the grounds go in compost and pod gets washed and back in the coffee drawer. I’m using way less coffee and electricity than if I boiled an entire pot on the stove.
I mean, I hear you, but on the ISS I think the aluminum waste shouldn’t be a significant concern.
And it may be very appreciated that they help contain the coffee grounds. Cleaning a portafilter in microgravity must be an absolute nightmare.
And to be clear cleanliness in that environment is very very important.
