Caffeine and pregnancy
The NHS advises limiting caffeine during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. Tea, coffee, cola and energy drinks all contain caffeine. If you choose to drink caffeine, only one cup of either each day, know that many café coffees contain more caffeine than instant coffee. Or none to be safe.
Disposal of Coffee Grounds
Avoid washing used coffee grounds down the sink, as they can contribute to blocked drains. A sink strainer, such as a SinkShield, can help catch any stray grounds before they enter the plumbing.
Although coffee grounds are often promoted as compostable, they should be binned or placed in food waste bins. Due to caffeine that could harm compost creatures (same with tea leaves).
The same for acidic food scraps (peppers, citrus, rhubarb, tomato and allium scraps – onions, garlic, leeks, shallots and chives).
How do reusable coffee pods work?
The capsules are designed to work with compatible coffee machine brands without affecting your machine’s warranty. Making a coffee takes around 20 seconds: simply fill the capsule with your favourite ground coffee, tamp it down (a tamper is available with your order), close the capsule, and brew as normal.
Available in a range of styles to fit different coffee machines, Evergreen says its reusable capsules have helped almost 100,000 customers reduce waste while cutting their coffee costs by up to 85%.
As a one-time purchase, they could save regular coffee drinkers thousands of pounds compared with continually buying disposable pods.
Why choose stainless steel coffee pods?
Unlike disposable coffee pods, which combine plastic and aluminium and are difficult to recycle, stainless steel capsules are durable, reusable and produce virtually no packaging waste after purchase.
Disposable coffee pods have become a major environmental issue, with an estimated more than 50 billion discarded worldwide each year. Most are not accepted in standard household recycling collections, meaning they are typically sent to landfill or incineration.
