Hey! This thing is still a Work in Progress.

TASSIMO BIN
Description
Recycle Your tassimo capsules
This is a container for your used tassimo capsules. I figured out that instead og colecting them sending them for reused elseware, it was smarter to clean them chop them up and extrude them my self. This bin is for storing them until reextrution.

You ever think of designing a refillable coffee pod that fits in the tassimo? To me, the only thing needed to be able to refil these things are a lid with the two holes in the right locations and 3 gaskets (one on the outer rim, and one for the input water, and one for the output water), and a good clamp so the lid doesn't leak. Heck - you could even possibly just print a lid ONLY that fit on existing pods. I have looked everywhere and can't find such a thing, you would be the first to make it. Heck I would buy it if it was on Shapeways!
