The grams of waste per teaspoon of ketchup seems high.

What else has a super high packaging waste per consumable volume?

    I also don’t get kcups in general. In what situation are the soft and paper-based Senseo pads not superior? He holders are easier to clean, they store better since they’re squishy and they come in smaller packs anyways. Plus they’re cheaper.

    Why would someone go for those cups instead? 😒

      Those are cool, never seen or heard of them before in my part of the US. We use reusable kcups, so we put a filter and grounds in mesh/plastic shell. We like them because we can choose single servings of anything, like our local beans or herbal stuff like teeccino. But yeah Senseo pads look pretty great.

        Oh that’s weird, ty. I wasn’t aware that Philips hadn’t actually spread their senseo machines worldwide. 🤔 Somehow always assumed they must have, considering how many years they’re around.

          I see those types of coffee packets in almost all hotels across the us, so they’re around but I’ve definitely never seen them outside of that.

      I tried to look up senseo, and the first hit said they were discontinued 11 years ago. Since the rest of you are claiming they are current, I’ll assume it’s either just a single of mnany providers or is country specific, but I didn’t actually read it.

      However the reason k-cups are better is because they are more of a success. A bit of a tautology, I know, but I k ow I can find a good selection of them anywhere

        It’s country specific. They were discontinued only in the US, but they still operate in multiple European countries, and in my experience like 70% of households here in the Netherlands have one of those things.

      The coffee from nespresso cups is definitely better than Senseo. Not sure about k cups as I don’t have experience with them.
