"LG's Duobo Coffee Machine: A Double-Pod Solution with Environmental Concerns"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Gizmodo
LG Labs has developed a new pod-based instant coffee machine called Duobo, which uses two Nespresso-style pods to create a single cup of coffee, doubling the amount of trash generated. The machine allows users to mix flavors and customize their brew, but its alien-like design and placement of an LCD screen on the base, obstructing the cup placement, raise questions. The Duobo is being introduced through a Kickstarter campaign, with a hefty price tag of $399 for early bird backers, and it remains to be seen if there is enough interest to bring it to market.
