Reusable coffee pods

Mmmmm… Coffee is the secret pleasure of a lot of us. But as much as I enjoy its flavour, I must point out here how polluting its production is. Letting, however, this problem aside; we hve to be aware that coffee became much more polluting when it started being sold in those cute but dangerous coffee pods.

In early july, this summer, I first got acquainted with the reusable coffee pods. Personally, I think it's a great idea.

They are a kind of strainers of the size of the pods by Nespresso, Dolce Gusto, and other brands; which won't be discarded, but reused instead, since they can be refilled as many times as one wants.
The pods can be found in different materials and at a reasonable price.

On the website DHgate.com, they are selling the one bellow, for instance. It is abou 16€ and it's a 3-piece set:

 
I have found these other ones with the shape of Dolce Gusto pods on Amazon. This one is a 6-piece set of about 12'5€. 
 
These pods are used in the exact same way that you use your disposable ones. The idea is to stop buying the non-reusable ones, while getting coffee packs, which eventually translates into a much smaller waste production.
