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

Originally Published 1 year ago — by CNET

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.

"Keurig's Game-Changing Compostable K-Round Pods Set to Revolutionize Coffee Brewing"

Originally Published 1 year ago — by Fast Company

Keurig, known for its plastic K-Cup pods, has developed a new compostable coffee pod called the K-Round, made primarily of food-grade algae, to address environmental concerns. The company's CEO initiated an in-house startup team to create a sustainable single-serve coffee solution, leading to the development of the K-Round. Keurig plans to beta-test the K-Rounds in the fall and hopes to make them available to the public soon after. The new pods will work with a new machine called the Keurig Alta, designed to accommodate both K-Rounds and existing K-Cup pods, aiming to make the transition as seamless as possible for consumers.
