GoKawiilKeurig launches Alta brewer with compostable AltaRound pods and real espresso pressure
Keurig has introduced the Alta brewer, which uses new AltaRound pods instead of K-Cups and brews with up to 10 bars of pressure to produce actual espresso rather than concentrated coffee. The pucks are currently wrapped in foil but will switch to curbside-recyclable paper packaging, and spent pucks can be composted or discarded. The machine also features a touchscreen that recommends and customizes drinks like lattes, cappuccinos, and Americanos.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The move suggests Keurig is trying to shed its reputation for wasteful K-Cup packaging by offering a more sustainable pod format, which could help it compete with machines like Bruvi and Nespresso on environmental grounds. Delivering genuine espresso-pressure brewing in a pod system may also widen Keurig's appeal to coffee drinkers who previously dismissed pod machines as inferior to espresso bars.
