Evergreen Capsules (use code englandnaturallysite for 15% discount) is a USA company that offers one-time purchase of reusable stainless steel coffee pods, that last forever. No more disposable coffee pods to clog up landfills.
When rinsing out coffee pots, use a sink protector mat, to stop coffee grounds clogging up sinks.
Avoid caffeine for pregnancy/nursing. Just bin used coffee granules (and tea leaves) to break down naturally, as caffeine could harm compost creatures.
Coffee pods are now littered in their billions worldwide, and difficult to recycle, due to combining plastic with aluminium.
Your machine will not lose its warranty if switching to these capsules, as they are designed to complement each brand.
To use, just fill, tamp (include a tamper with your order) and close. Sold in a variety of styles to complement all coffee makers, this company has almost 100,000 happy customers who have saved up to 85% on their coffee, and produced zero waste with it.
It takes just 20 seconds to make a cup of coffee using these capsules. And as a one-time purchase, you’ll save up to £20,000 during its lifetime, over disposable pods.
An Organic Cotton Reusable Coffee Filter
CoffeeSock is a one-time purchase from the US, to replace single-use bleached paper coffee filters. Made in Texas from unbleached organic cotton.
To use CoffeeSock, boil new filters in fresh water for 10 minutes, then add coffee and brew as instructed. Let grounds dry in the bag for easier emptying into the bin, then rinse and dry.
Every few weeks, boil in fresh water for 10 minutes to remove coffee oils, adding 1 teaspoon of baking soda to remove stains. After around 1 year, cut up and add to compost bin.
If you use paper filters, choose If You Care brand, which uses unbleached paper & cardboard packaging.
Wonky Coffee (recycled aluminium coffee pods)
Coffee pods are everywhere, but most of them end up in the bin. In England, Wonky Coffee is doing something about that. Their recycled pods are helping people sip smarter while cutting waste.
The Rescued Coffee Pods cost around 50% less. Choose from a flavoured ‘dip’ or a box of decaff coffee pods.
Wonky Instant Coffee is sold in glass jars, for quality rescued coffee at lower price (again 50% less, works out at around 2p a cup). This is a barista-grade instant, so strong enough for a good cup of coffee. You can easily recycle the glass jar, and plastic lid.
