Coffee Makers Go Plastic-Free: Lavazza, Keurig, Caraway
Coffee giants Lavazza and Keurig, along with newcomer Caraway, are all launching plastic-free coffee makers to meet growing consumer demand for sustainable brewing options. Lavazza introduced its Tabli brewing system in the US in June, using compressed coffee tablets instead of plastic pods. Caraway, known for ceramic cookware, launched its first coffee maker on September 22, featuring a glass reservoir, stainless steel parts, and a reusable filter. Keurig began pre-orders for its Alta machine on October 1, which uses pressed coffee grounds wrapped in an alginate coating, and the pre-orders sold out within days. These products target the premium market, with prices ranging from $129.99 to $499.99. Caraway's coffee maker sold out within a week, generating over seven figures in sales. The trend highlights a shift towards sustainability and premium design in home coffee brewing.
