To keurig, nespresso or not to ...

I love my coffee. But I am torn.

I know we don't have the best coffee in Canada-although I love my Tim hortons and will splurge for the occasional Starbucks cafe misto ( don't expect to read ANY commentary about those damn cups for the holidays, thank you very much) nowadays we've moved to a very personalized approach. 

Now -Lo and behold we can have a single cup of coffee, with whatever strength , with whatever flavor.

Most of my friends now have one of these machines at home.

But something about it ( well namely that none of the packets are recyclable) pains me to think that we would dump each pod after each coffee served.  I'm not über green by any means but I'm so used to recycling as much of anything as possible. I think I heard that the inventor of those pods, if he had known what was possible now waste-wise...regrets the invention for that reason alone.

Right now the non-recycling piece is a non-starter. But if they ever develop a more Eco- friendly product-I'm all in.

Before my husband gave up coffee, he used a single cup French Press. Doesn't have all of the fancy flavors of a Keurig, but doesn't contribute to landfill either. Perhaps a good option for you?
