Hopefully, someone will come up with a recyclable k-cup. Some people object to the K-cup concept since they are throwaway and not recyclable. (K-cups for the Keuring Vue system are #5 recyclable)

THere is already one, it is an insert you use instead of the k-cup and you put coffee grounds of your choice in it, then you just wash it clean
