Drain tubing management board

A hand-held coffee pod processing device is provided that enables individual components of a coffee pod to be separated and recycled appropriately. The device includes a handle section defining an internal cavity and has opposite closed and open ends. A ring of teeth is formed on the rim of the open end and a series of ridges extend radially outward adjacent to the rim. The circular array of teeth may be inserted through a top foil of the pod and can be advanced into the mouth of the pod so that the ridges of the device are in close contact with a coffee filter within the pod. The device and pod can be rotated relative to one another so that the array of teeth of the device separates the foil from the pod and so that the ridges of the device separate the filter from the pod.

Component separating device for beverage pods

A drainage tubing management device is provided. The drainage tubing management device generally comprises a body including a planar field, and having plural pairs of spaced-apart protrusions extending from said field, each pair of protrusions sized to accept flexible drainage tubing therebetween, wherein pairs of the protrusions are arranged in at least first and second rows such that drainage tubing may be retained with respect to said body along the first and second rows, at least one aperture in said body, and a securement mechanism comprising one or more of (a) a post having a longitudinal axis, said post being insertable through within said aperture and having a terminal flange occluding passage of said post through said aperture, said post being sufficiently rigid to support said body and (b) a flexible hanging strap insertable through said aperture and having a terminal flange occluding passage of said strap through said aperture.
