Paper coffee pods such as those used in Easy Serving Espresso Pod or Senseo machines have the benefit of being a fully biodegradable product that can decompose naturally, while plastic and metal capsules such as those used in Keurig or Nespresso machines either aren't recyclable, or require additional processing to separate the plastic/metal container from the organic waste products.
The K-Cup single-use coffee pod system is patented and licensed by Keurig, which is a subsidiary of Green Mountain Coffee Roasters.
