Coffee Appreciation

3g of virtually non-recyclable packaging, 90%ish of which ends up incinerated or in landfill, per 6g of coffee. Oooh but it's so convenient!!

Agreed... Hence I liked the idea of a machine that can take both ESE for convenience and ground for when there's more time. But the fact, as pointed out above, that the eco friendly ish paper thingy is contained in foil is annoying.

We're using a good old Bialetti stove top (now we've ruined our nice Richard Sapper Alessi one), so far not guilty of pod use, but when not bothered and when in need for a shot (parents life yo!) Louise just makes an instant.
Bean to cup are pricey, too big, and we'd end up blazing from over consumption!
