Rachel Rodwell - PODTEX

My biggest problem with "Coffee Pods" has been the excessive packaging, and wasteful nature of individually encased servings of coffee grounds. It is refreshing to see someone doing something about it! 

Rachel Rodwell's branding of PODTEX will be Launching July 1st and I cant wait to see what she comes up with next!
