You can buy a high quality nespresso machine for about $100. I agree the capsules are wasteful, but so are lots of other things, such as bottles and cans, cardboard boxes, ziplock bags, driving a car, and flying. What's especially wasteful about nespresso capsules? It seems like another version of straws that's easy to target but doesn't really address root problems with our consume until you drop mentality.

But it's only going to make stale coffee, which tastes horrible. Count me out.
Many of us also avoid using single-use plastics and driving too. Sure it's not a huge difference but it does add up.
