It's 7 a.m. - did you forget to pick up coffee filters yesterday?

05.28.2008

The Bite:
Brew-tal. We know some Americanos who start getting frothy at the mouth without their morning cappuccino. Mocha better choice for yourself and the planet, and pick up a reusable filter.
The Benefits: 
  • It's grande for the earth. Paper trash (such as regular coffee filters) takes up 40% of landfill space, and the chlorine used to bleach most filters lets off carcinogenic dioxins.
  • A thriftier cuppa. Regular paper coffee filters cost only about $10 for a year's supply, but reusable filters save you money in the long run.
  • Not taking a latte your time. Reusable options are easy to clean.
Personally Speaking: 
Jen's used a reusable single-serve coffee filter for her morning cup since her coffeemaker went haywire one morning, and she hasn't looked back since.
Wanna Try: 

Cocktail Fact

Hawaii is the only U.S. state that produces coffee.

Bang For The Bite

If 10,000 Biters switch from disposable to reusable filters, in a year we'll save enough paper to fill 127 burlap coffee bean sacks.
