Doesn't get any more eco friendly than that.

We do most of that. I chuck the grounds and the paper filter in the
trash that gets burned in the waste to energy plant. The water comes
from the RO but that waste water goes into the pool.
I was really just addressing the yuppies who carry their Ecoli laden
cloth bags to the store in their Prius and then buy a big box of
K-cups.

coffee in a non recyclable and non biodegradable single shot package
is not where the current generation should be going.



They do make recycle type kcups now. One of the reasons I do not have a
k-cup brewer is the trash generated.

I just drink more coffee than that. This is for my wife to make an
evening cup of decaf. The machine we have can either make one cup or
12. A cup of coffee for me is 20 oz.

I have a Crusinart 10 cup thermal carafe maker. Works great. Since the
carafe is thermal, do not get burnt coffee, and can nuke the stuff the next
day to get hot coffee.
