Recently, my  sister-in-law, who had built up so many points with Keurig that she was entitled to some free purchases, generously sent a single-serving “on demand” coffee maker to Joe and me.

I love the idea of making coffee–whatever type you prefer (hopefully fair trade)–one cup at a time and almost instantly.

However, I HATE the idea of all of those NON-recyclable K-Cups ending up in the landfills.  Though I would love to see what the “Visual Team” from Anthropologie would create with them since they are utter “recycled art” geniuses.

I hope this doesn’t sound harsh, but I feel that it is socially irresponsible for companies who manufacture the K-Cups not to do so with recyclable plastic.  I just don’t understand.

At any rate, I did a little research and mine seems to be a prevailing sentiment.  But my research also turned up Green Mountain’s refillable/recyclable K-cup adapter and filter, so I just placed an order.  Yes, it takes a tiny bit more time to scoop, but I can enjoy my cuppa with a clearer conscience.  Hope you will too!  (For coupons generously offered by Green Mountain, click here.)
