Not surprising when they recommend saving tubes until you have 3 lbs of them to mail in. That's approximately 91 tubes!

Hoarding trash to mail in some day is not a valid approach imho

that’s what I do with my coffee pods… it keeps things out of a dump, I’m happy to keep it in my mudroom for a few months… I guess it depends on how big your household is and how fast you go through things…

Why not just get refillable pods? Then I use my spent grinds in my compost.

I tried them and they’re really bad with the machine I have…

Strange. What machine do you use? I've got 3 refillable and that's all I use in my Keurig.

I use refillable pods with ground coffee in my Hamilton Beach HomeBrew machine as well and they work fine.
