I love getting my AM coffee in hand fast but was NOT loving all the paper and plastic waste I was generating. I also didn’t like the cash I was socking toward my habit.
So I took a small chunk of change, purchased a french press, and now keep coffee at work. We have a hot water dispenser, so every day I can have coffee without the waste. To make it tastier, I have also brought in cinnamon and cocoa powder to sprinkle in. Yum. Next plan- to take the coffee grounds to my local community garden. They add the grounds to their compost!
Yay less guilt and more money in my pocket.

I cannot live without my frech pressed coffee. This is truly how real coffee tastes! After you drink this you wouldn’t want to go back brewed. Yuck! Also check around for local coffee roasters. The beans aren’t grown locally (in the US) but most of the time the small independent roasters purchase fair-trade and/or organic grean beans then roast them fresh in their facilities.
