>According to research by Halo, a British producer of compostable coffee capsules, every minute about 39,000 of these pods are made worldwide, while up to 29,000 are dumped in landfill sites.

29 000 every minute.

I find it really hard to believe that this is better than the traditional espresso.

IMO the way this blog post is written makes it seem sponsored by capsule manufacturers, which have huge margins versus traditional espresso.
