TechKeurig’s new machine uses plastic-free compressed coffee pucks

Keurig’s $499.99 Alta single-serve machine replaces plastic-and-aluminum pods with AltaRounds: pressed coffee pucks covered in a seaweed-derived coating that are fully compostable. They currently come in plastic wrappers, though Keurig plans to move to paper. The machine also makes espresso and can be preordered ahead of October 21 shipping.
