Individual serving coffee pods have become the norm for many consumers given their ease of use but can be quite wasteful if not recycled, so the 'Coffee Pod Cutter' has been created to help with the process. The device works by easily popping the lids off of coffee pods and allowing the grounds to be removed before tossing the small containers into the recycling bin. The coffee grounds from the pods can then be either disposed of through municipal organic collection programs or used for garden composting.
The 'Coffee Pod Cutter' is designed to easily fit onto the top of a Mason jar and will deposit the coffee grounds directly into the vessel to make emptying it into a compost or receptacle that much easier.
