I was glad to see that GMC has a comment thread on this. I can’t tell you how much I love my coffee maker, but am dismayed by the amount of plastic that I throw away. If they figured out a way to make the cups out of recyclable plastic, I would gladly pay more and would instantly be buying all of my coffee from GMC. I know quite a few people who also would be interested in buying the coffee maker if the recyclable cups were available! Not having them turns a super cool product into something that’s almost embarrassing to own! Please help on this issue!

Thanks for your efforts and I look forward to being able to purchase “green” k-cups in the future. Until then I have made the conscious choice to use the reuasble k-cup filter with green mountain coffee. Takes more time but makes me feel better knowing I am not filling lanfills with k-cups. I know it is a small thing, but important to me. When you come up with an eco-friendly cup I will buy in bulk!!

Thanks for all you do!

I was just given a K-cup maker, and love the convenience! But I was saddened to see no recycle code on the cups. I’m considering returning the maker, because, though small, I’m concerned about the waste I’ll be generating over the course of the maker’s lifetime. I have a refillable pot, too, but that sort of defeats the convenience factor.

GMC…hope you can fix this soon!

Thanks.

Has there been any progress on this? My company is seriously considering K-cups, but the recycling issue has been brought up a few times. Please advise.
