Initially, it was marketed to office buildings in Switzerland and Japan. So he spent the next 10 years, and then in 1986, Nestle decided to register the Nespresso trademark and patent Favre’s work in Switzerland. He witnessed the complex method of using this espresso machine with pressure and temperature and vapor.
Just going through history a little bit.ġ975, Eric Favre engineer at Nestle found himself in Italy enjoying a luxurious espresso bar, fascinated by the rich and creamy and flavor. Is that convenient for your pocketbook? Is that convenient for your health? Is that convenient for the environment? No, no, no, no people, hazardous to you, hazardous habit, hazardous for the environment. One pound of this stale, low-quality coffee from Nespresso and Keurig pods equates to over $50 a pound.
I’m gonna conclude everything almost right here. Not to mention the way they constructed this thing, which I’ll get underneath it and explain to you from water perspective, this thing is just gnarly, and the quality is horrible. Despite these slick, current marketing campaigns, even the original founder, John Sylvan, has been reported to say, “I feel bad sometimes that I ever did it.” No matter what they say about recycling, those things will never be recycled. Man, do I need to go through the details? Do you get it? I’ll explain to you why and how this is, but it’s pretty crazy. There are strains of bacteria, carcinogenic compounds, destruction of the ecosystem, plastic pollution. So these little things, there are so many negative side effects from personal health to the environment. It’s time to ditch those coffee pod machines and go back to the old-school java methods. Not only that, but the machine itself is a mold and bacteria petri dish! But if you’ve been holding on to your Keurig despite that knowledge, maybe this episode will be that push you need to finally cut the cord. This one shouldn’t be a big surprise – we all know how wasteful those coffee pods are. And it doesn’t even make a good cup of coffee! We’ve once again created a fatal convenience that saves us a little bit of time with a huge cost to the environment.
These tiny little unnecessary single-use plastic capsules are sitting in landfills and floating in waterways all over the globe. If you laid out all the k-cups in the world, they would circle the Earth 10.5 times.Ĭoffee pods are one of the most wasteful inventions yet. Keurig, Nespresso, and other coffee pod machines are ruining our planet – and our health. Why do we try so hard to reinvent the wheel? There are so many ways to make coffee safely and efficiently, yet we managed to screw that all up with k-cups.
