"Keurig's many coffee makers do have good qualities: They look sleek; require no special techniques or extra equipment to use; and it's fast and easy to brew single cups of coffee using all kinds of K-Cup pods. However, skeptics on Reddit point out that the pods cost way more money compared to whole bean or ground coffee, not to mention throwing away those tiny plastic cups is a wasteful habit."
"In debates about if Nespresso or Keurig is more sustainable for the environment, Keurig loses major points because its pods are not easily recycled. You could try to avoid mistakes when using a Keurig machine that cause unnecessary waste - some customers on Reddit strongly advocate for reusable K-Cup pod replacements. However, others note that leftover ground coffee and paper filters can be composted, and there are many other great uses for your used-up coffee grounds."
Keurig machines offer sleek design and fast single-cup brewing with a wide variety of K-Cup pods. K-Cup pods cost substantially more than whole-bean or ground coffee and produce small plastic waste that is difficult to recycle. Some users promote reusable K-Cup pod replacements to reduce waste, while others recommend composting leftover grounds and paper filters or repurposing used grounds. Reported device problems include electrical malfunctions and short lifespans that can lead to replacement and landfill disposal. The combination of higher ongoing pod costs, environmental concerns, and reliability complaints leads many users to view Keurigs as poor value.
