Keurig launches Alta machine with compostable AltaRounds coffee pucks for $499.99

Keurig has opened preorders for its Alta single-serve machine, which uses AltaRounds — compressed coffee pucks wrapped in a seaweed-derived, compostable coating instead of plastic-and-aluminum pods. The $499.99 bundle includes glassware and six boxes of AltaRounds, with shipping starting October 21st. The machine can brew coffee or espresso and has a built-in milk frother, with six caffeinated AltaRounds varieties available at launch.

Keurig-compatible Milk Pods deliver frothed milk for lattes at the push of a button

A new product called The Milk Pod offers single-serve capsules that work in standard Keurig brewers, producing frothy, latte-style milk instead of plain hot water. The pods, made from milk powder and natural ingredients, are shelf-stable for 15 months without refrigeration and come in plain, vanilla and caramel flavors. A reviewer tested the pods and found them simple to use, requiring no special setup beyond inserting them like a normal K-Cup and brewing milk and coffee separately at six-ounce settings.
