Hey permies.
Guillermo. Guillermas here, and I have found a new show that is showcasing a beautiful looking product for all you
coffee lovers.
The show is called "buy it now" and is on Amazon prime. This is Amazon's version of shark tank, and in some ways it is better.
The product in question is a coffee product where the guy has improved k cups. He discusses how they are recyclable but the combination of materials makes it nearly impossible to repurpose. His product is a reusable ring that holds a paper pod, and you only have a little paper and coffee grounds to dispose of.
I put this in composting, because this would be a great way to
compost for those who desire single cup convenience brews.
The show is unique as it is owned by Amazon. The entrepreneurs pitch their product to 100 people first. If
enough of the people say they would buy the product, it goes to the panel of three people. One of the person is from Amazon directly, and two other celebrities or business people round out the panel.
If two of the panel like the product, it gets added into a special Amazon store area called "buy it now" which is linked directly with the show. Shark tank doesn't have a storefront associated with it.
The coffee product seems very minimal of a solution, and the pods shouldn't be too expensive. This seemed like a large step forward for composting, and I did not know that keurig cups were that wasteful. He says the reusable ones get bacteria and mold, which I think you could clean with bleach, but his solution is an easy simple and quick solution.
It is a hit expensive at 60 bucks, but I really enjoy the simple solution of the ring. I personally aeropress with a metal filter, so I wouldn't use this product. I just wanted to mention it as a step forward for mindfulness. It might cost a walletful now, but I would like to see competition in this space drive price down.
