The good news: Mill is growing, with a deal to put Mill bins in Whole Foods stores from 2027, and the bin runs on its own.
The bad news: Mill is a startup, and the grounds pickup service only lasts as long as the company does.
If you own a Mill bin
- Know that you can still use the dried grounds yourself, for example in compost.
- Keep spare filters on hand.
