This is quite exciting in that it removes plastic waste. I see no reason why different companies can't make different shape ones to maintain their lock-in. I expect a knock-off market to pop-up, but that exists with plastic pods too. It's a step in the right direction at least.

Yes! We can finally buy our way out of unnecessary waste, and ultimately climate change, with this new thing that keeps us buying. Just gotta buy the ecological things and everything will be good.

I hear you and ultimately we all have our own versions of utopia. But it doesn't stop us celebrating small steps in the right direction just because we're not at our destination.

Is it a step in the right direction, or is it a refinement to the sinister system that is sending us down the drain?

Especially when you could just buy a sack of coffee instead of disposables or single use.

It can be both

Not on Lemmy.

Here you have to be angry about everything or you're part of the problem.
