that you load up with a tablespoon from a traditional container

The point of the pods is to make money from people with two seconds to make their coffee. Yes, it's wasteful and expensive, but that's the point. You can make great coffee over an open fire. Or in a basic French press.

Sure, that's the point of one pod. What the hell is the point of two pods?

Maybe people have four seconds to make their coffee

“So you can craft your own unique blend of coffee flavours.” You can mix mild bran with strong bran. For a deliciously unique medium bran flavour.

These pods could still be made from plant based alternatives and be compostables. Nothing about this needs to be plastic.

The companies have to be forced to do that, we all well know they won’t otherwise.
