Yes, there are. I'm sure Bed Bath Beyond carries them but I've seen them at our market.

I use my keurig.
For my house, it saves us from waste of coffee and water.
You don't have to agree.
LOL
I agree. I'm sorry, but I'm not really worried about the pods.

We have a Keurig, but I use it as little as possible because of the plastic waste. Between the cost of the machine and the cost of the pods, it's an expensive way to drink coffee.

Again, 60 BILLION.
You don't have to brew a ton of coffee - you can simply brew enough for 1 or 2 cups - ours does.
Foolish point that Keurig saves anything. In fact, since they won't be 100% recycled until 2020, we still have another 5 years to go with consume and toss mentality.

I'm not a coffee drinker, nor do I have or want a Keurig, but when I've seen them in stores and on QVC, I've always thought about all the waste they cause too. Such a shame.

Same here. I use biodegradeable an/or recyclable pods about 60% of the time and don't worry about the rest.

i am sensitive to the trash issue - use some pods that don't create that much trash. San Francisco something or other with a kind of thin netting at bottom. but frankly i generate so much more trash from the packaging on beauty items and stuff from the grocery store. those jewelry boxes i don't use, etc.
