Marlboro, NJ — Every day we make choices that have an impact on the environment. 1stInCoffee.com knows that even small issues, such as how you make and drink your coffee, matter a lot. So it’s important to take action about small things to leave a positive effect, reduce your carbon footprint, and help you lead a more “green” lifestyle.
For example, if you brew your morning coffee at home, instead of traveling to your local café or coffee shop, you’ll have a definite positive impact on your environment. You’ll be using less fossil fuel, for one thing; you’ll also save money, so your wallet sees the benefit immediately. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Division of Consumer Prices, has stated that it costs a nickel to brew an 8-ounce cup of coffee in your kitchen. When you compare that to the cost of buying a similarly-sized cup of coffee at your coffee shop, it’s obvious which option is more cost-effective, in more ways than one.
http://1stInCoffee.com offers several handy tips on how to make a cup of coffee that’s tasty, satisfying, and “green”:
* Stop using paper filters, which cannot be re-used, and switch to a permanent gold coffee filter. These are inexpensive and can be used for years.
* Leftover coffee grounds are easily composted or used immediately as an excellent fertilizer in your garden.
* Using coffeemakers with thermal carafes means that additional electricity is not needed to keep coffee nice and hot.
* Brewing coffee at home means you’ll reduce the amount of paper waste you create, because you’ll no longer be using so many paper napkins, paper cups, or coffee sleeves.
* Using freshly ground coffee rather than coffee pods means a reduction in waste, as well: coffee pods leave aluminum or paper waste behind.
* When you make coffee at home, you can brew the amount you need. There are specialty coffeemakers from http://1stInCoffee.com that have the ability to brew as little as two cups of coffee. The coffee is the same high quality whether you’re brewing on a large cup cycle or a small cup cycle. There are even automatic coffeemakers even allow you to brew a single cup of excellent coffee.
