Use glass bottles that can be cleaned and reused? Nah, not profitable enough. And what will happen when someone gets a cut! Think of the horror! Plastics make it possible!

Poor person hack: lots of instant coffee like cafe bustelo comes in decent glass jars. So if you're gonna get coffee get a reusable glass jar too. The lid is unfortunately plastic, but I've been trying to find a non-plastic solution on the cheap. Also instant coffee isn't as bad as its made out to be.

So long as you aren't scraping the lid against asphalt, the plastic lid is probably fine. Unfortunately, most homes don't come with stamping tools and dies appropriate for making jar lids. Probably the cheapest form lid I could imagine is oiling up the jar thread, placing a cheap dish cloth over the thread tight, and then soaking it in wood glue, then cutting off the excess cloth. Would not survive a trip in the dishwasher, and you'd probably want to have some sort of resin finish.

Actually, I guess you could stamp a few layers of aluminium foil maybe

Yeah there's a lot of good tomato sauces you can get for pretty cheap and that jar, that's free-real-estate
