Keurig Launches New Coffee Machine with Plastic-Free Compostable Pucks
Keurig has introduced its new single-serve coffee machine, the Keurig Alta, which uses compostable pucks instead of traditional plastic and aluminum pods. The $500 device features a plant-based coating derived from seaweed for the AltaRounds, making them fully biodegradable. While currently wrapped in plastic to maintain freshness, the company plans to switch to paper packaging soon. The Keurig Alta is available as part of a bundle and includes six boxes of AltaRounds along with glassware. It offers traditional brewing methods plus espresso capabilities using high-pressure water through punctured pucks and features a built-in milk frother for added convenience. The machine also has Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing it to update recipes as new varieties are released. The launch reflects Keurig's effort to address environmental concerns while maintaining the ease of use that its older models are known for.
