Continuing the coffee rant, but this time, trying to save the world.

We got this sweet little coffeemaker last Christmas and we use it … a lot.  V has made several cups of  coffee for me using this.

After taste-testing several of the K-cup varieties, which dominate the coffee aisle in so many stores, I discovered my favorite was Starbucks French Roast.  While that was no surprise, I wanted to cut down on the number of disposeable cups I was using, but I still wanted my coffee in 30 seconds.  

FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS.  

Enter refillable filters.  Instead of using the unrecycleable  K-cups (why are so many things unrecycleable nowadays?  K-cups, yogurt containers, Snack Packs, SWEET MARTHA'S COOKIES BUCKETS), I bought these bad boys at Walgreens for $10.

make you holla

If you have approximately 5 minutes, need a really decent cuppa joe, and are going no-waste, you gotta press it French.

funniest cartoon EVER

Like I mentioned in my iced coffee rant, the ye olde French press is really the only way to go if you want to save the world while getting caffeinated.  Not only will you be benefiting from the coffea plants' seeds, but if you throw the used grounds in your garden, your plants will be reaping the benefits also.  So you will be awake and your tomato plants will be huge.

BOOM.
