I think it is important to recognise that the two big factors in terms of the greenhouse gas intensity of making a coffee are a) the embodied carbon of producing and distributing the coffee beans and b) the energy used to heat the water you're brewing with.
Other considerations, like the pod in which the coffee sits, or the filter paper you're using have comparatively small embodied carbon due to the efficiencies of making gazzilions of them in optimised factories.
So don't waste coffee and only boil the water you need are the best things you can do. That's my take away anyway.
