Basically this product reduces the internal volume available in an already small pod.
So for those who fuss and agitate on about how bad pods are for the environment you can buy these and pat yourself on the back ... while drinking bad weak coffee.
In terms of the product itself, the pods are well made and of good construction.
However they (being reusable) require you to fish them out of the pod "bin" under the coffee maker to reuse them. In any office situation this will become fraught and for sure someone is going to bin your pod by mistake.
Then you have to ask yourself - how much water are you going to waste in washing them?
If pods bother you so much then either A) get the plastic empty disposable types (which I currently use because I can put my prefered coffee in them) or B) use a proper coffee machine which just grinds and uses the beans (like I do at home).
Pods are generally a bad idea for the sake of convenience - this product take the convenience out of that equation and just makes pods worse.

I have found a few good brands in the us that have compostable pods. I mostly make drip coffee at work and use a thermos but when I do a pod coffee I use these since we have large scale composting that can even take paper so these biodegradable pods are no problem whatsoever. No weak coffee. No plastic waste, no washing.
Hey Jao
hope you've been keeping well.
Thing is though, I'm already not a fan of pods ... they're too small for a decent hit (unless you make a half demitasse)

Yeah me neither. They're a bit too small. I maybe make one once a week or so at work working late. I like the Australian long black coffees but those are not found here. They did introduce flat whites in coffeeshops recently but that's not really to my taste.
