Or any other coffee makers that don’t require capsules.<\/p>\n
Why ?<\/strong><\/p>\n 250 grams of coffee capsules generates 10 times more packaging than a pack of ground coffee of the same weight.<\/p>\n Each year, Nespresso sells about 9 billion capsules worldwide, so 40,000 tons of waste. I know what you will tell me: \u00ab\u00a0But they have set up their own recycling chain!\u00a0\u00bb Come on, you’re not so naive. Keep in mind that it is only to make the consumer feel better. Anyway, even if all the capsules were recycled, it would still have a strong environmental impact (transport, cleaning, packaging, recycling…)<\/p>\n Of course, you can go for recycled or biodegradable capsules, but the generated gas emissions only decrease by 20%.<\/p>\n The winner is the\u00a0Moka pot\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0with only 1kg of greenhouse gas emission per year!<\/p>\n The good thing with these coffee makers is that you can reuse the coffee grounds in many way:<\/p>\n – it is a\u00a0natural fertilizer<\/strong>\u00a0rich in nutrients, potassium and nitrogen for your plants.<\/p>\n – It’s a\u00a0good repellant<\/strong>\u00a0against bugs. You can put a bowl of coffee ground in front of doors or windows to ward off insects!<\/p>\n – you can pour a little in the sink every week to\u00a0clean the pipes<\/strong>\u00a0and unclog them.<\/p>\n – It is very\u00a0effective against grease<\/strong>, in small quantity to clean dishes for example.<\/p>\n – It\u00a0absorbs bad smell<\/strong>\u00a0in the fridge.<\/p>\n – you can use it in your bathroom, for example by mixing it with your soap to\u00a0scrub of your skin<\/strong>. It has a decongestant and draining effects, thanks to caffeine.<\/p>\n – And my favourite: you can put it in your\u00a0compost<\/strong>.<\/p>\n How about that? Wouldn’t it be a shame to not use it?<\/p>\n And you, how do you make your coffee?<\/p>\n\n\n Or any other coffee makers that don’t require capsules.
