@GrindIntoSecond said in Opposite coffee investment.:
hate the packaged pod style of anything. The waste is huge with those things!
It is possible to make a pod that doesn't result in dolphin-blowhole-sized plastic items of largely theoretical recyclability. San Francisco Bay Coffee Company, for instance. makes entirely compostable K-cups that come ten to a compostable bag, and puts quality coffee in them. If kept in a small airtight kitchen storage container after you open the bag, they stay fresh at least as long as at takes me to go through ten, though of course that's only a few days.
They're officially only commercially compostable (say, in the city's kitchen/garden waste stream if you have that), but I find that they go away nicely in my home compost heap in a reasonable amount of time.
Yours looks like a wonderful setup, though, and can take you farther in connoisseurship than anything pre-packaged. Next hole in the rabbit warren: roasting!
