Keurig has introduced a new single-serve coffee machine called the Keurig Alta, which uses a plant-based coating to replace traditional plastic and aluminum pods. The Alta machine was first unveiled two years ago, along with the AltaRounds, puck-shaped pod replacements that wrap pressed coffee grounds in the eco-friendly coating. This new design aims to reduce waste and provide a more sustainable alternative to traditional Keurig pods.
