Keurig's Eco-Friendly Solution: Introducing Compostable Coffee Rounds

Keurig plans to address its single-serve coffee waste issue by introducing 100% compostable coffee pods called K-Rounds, which contain no plastic or aluminum and are wrapped in a thin cellulose coating. The new pods will require the use of the Keurig Alta machine, designed specifically for brewing eco-friendly pods, and are set to enter beta testing this year with a potential consumer release in 2025. The K-Rounds will be available in various sizes and grinds to brew espresso, regular coffee, and iced coffee drinks, and will be marked with a code for the brewer to determine the proper extraction profile and pressure for optimal flavor.
