A simple and handy tool designed to easily open "Lavazza A Modo Mio" compatible coffee capsules for proper recycling.

Why?

While compostable capsules exist, many brands (including Lavazza itself) still rely heavily on plastic capsules.
To correctly recycle them, you must separate the used coffee grounds from the plastic shell

Doing this by hand can be messy and frustrating, so I designed this tool to make the process quicker.

How?

  • Let the capsule cool down, it does not work well right after the coffee is made.

  • Place the coffee capsule face down onto the inner "blade" of the opener.

  • Press it with your hand/weight until you feel it "pop".

  • Give the capsule a quick twist to fully cut the foil (the inherent imperfection of the print will help in cutting).

  • Empty the coffee grounds into your compost, and toss the clean shell into your plastic recycling bin.

The blade will ruin itself over time. Do not stress over it, it will actually help cutting the foil.

Printed on a modified Ender 3 with PLA 0.16mm layer height.
