Most people just toss the capsules and Nestle is bad. Even if you recycle them who knows of Nestle actually recycles them all since it’s quite a bit of work additional to remove the liner from the capsule.

I buy my coffee from a local roaster who sources their beans directly from coffee farmers. That’s a much better deal for everyone involved, the coffee quality is leagues better than some capsule stuff, I know where the coffee comes from, and the farmer gets paid more because there are no middle men. It’s not even expensive compared to capsules since they’re very expensive given the small coffee content.

Surely you see how doing this is a better option than supporting a known bad company or using capsules? The only “downside” is that I can’t just press a button to make coffee in the morning to save a minute or two.
