Because with literally every other coffee making method, the waste products are 100% biodegradable/compostable (coffee grounds and filters). They also cost significantly less - you can make a fantastic cup of coffee in <5 minutes for 50¢ with $50 in equipment that will last for at least a decade. Nespresso is rent-seeking and trying to upsell convenience and laziness at the expense of the earth. That behavior needs to be put down.
- WA 6y agoMost coffee beans come in non-degrading packages. It’s less waste than Nespresso, but it’s not 100% either. I don’t think rent-seeking applies to Nespresso. Yes they make money from laziness, but it’s not rent-seeking in a parasitic way. You can stop buying Nespresso any day. I agree with your overall point though. I have a Gaggia Classic. Running with relatively low maintenance for 6 years now. But when I’m on vacation, I actually appreciate a Nespresso machine in an Airbnb.
