About this episode

Kevin Hartley discusses his role as CEO of Cambio Roasters and the company's innovative approach to sustainable coffee pods.

Kevin Hartley is the Co-Founder and CEO of Cambio Roasters. The company is trying to divert some of the demand for disposable coffee pods into recyclable aluminum pods with compostable internal filters and grounds. Previously, Kevin worked with a smaller company called Green Mountain.* You may recognize the name as the innovators behind the original coffee pod, which through concept development, acquisition, and the widespread adoption by consumers of the Keurig coffee maker has become an industry behemoth. Find Cambio Roaster pods online: https://cambioroasters.com/ and this fall in Publix grocery stores nationwide. You can also order their newest offering a half-caff on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Cambio-Roasters-Half-Caff-Medium-Dark-Coffee/dp/B0GWNG3RS5 *Thru several transactions Green Mountain is now Keurig Dr Pepper, Inc.
