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.
That’s exactly what happened at my office. The moldy coffee pot stayed there for about a year before someone threw the whole thing away.
We did the same. Taped it all together and carried it like it was a live bomb.
