I’m not posh enough to have experienced one.
The packaging of the coffee balls makes the think they might stale rapidly after opening, but i suppose there is only 9. I also think there is a lot of packaging. It doesn’t matter that it can be recycled, it’s still better to have less packaging. If this wasn’t the case, we wouldn’t have had the expression “use less paper and save a tree”. Recycling itself uses energy.
When that machine breaks, how recyclable is it, as im pretty sure it won’t be something that can be fixed. To me it’s a solution looking for a problem so it can make lots of money, and using “green” credentials to do it.
