The waste associated with traditional [Nespresso](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coffee-pod-maker) capsules can quickly add up for those who have one or more cups a day, so the 'WayCap' is here to cut costs and waste dramatically.

Crafted from stainless steel, the 'WayCap' is designed to be used over and over to brew coffee in a Nespresso machine. This eliminates the need for individual capsules that can not only cost quite a bit of money, but are inherently wasteful.

Capsule coffee brewing has brought with it the one-cup revolution that has seen many consumers switch to the [Tassimo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/costa-coffee-capsules) and Nespresso for convenience sake. However, the waste associated with Tassimo discs and Nespresso capsules is beginning to be seen as a dreadful waste. The 'WayCap' can help eliminate them and allow users to use whatever kind of coffee bean they desire.

The 'WayCap' is currently available for preorder on [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ceramic-coffee-filter) where the device has already garnered over €180,000 in funding at the time of publication.
