packets of ketchup are super wasteful

The grams of waste per teaspoon of ketchup seems high.

What else has a super high packaging waste per consumable volume?

Nothing beats a fully automatic espresso machine when it comes to efficiency. Want an espresso, large coffee or any of the other things it can prepare, and it is made with the parameters you want. The only non organic waste is the packaging of the coffee beans, which isn't too bad, as they usually come in 500g of 1kg packs.

Some even have 2 beans containers for when you want to have different flavors, and almost all have a chute for a portion of ground coffee for the occasional special drink (decaffeinated or so, for visitors for example)

Edit: typo

I like them but not great at work. People will plug them up in a week.

There are special versions for high usage locations, and those often come with a maintenance contract. That should keep the coffee flowing for all to enjoy.

The models intended for home use probably won't last very long if you brew 100 coffees a day with them.
