Coffee Pods - Bad for the Environment? Not Always
An old article has begun making the rounds again in coffee circles. The subject? How single-serve coffee pods are bad for the environment. That may be true of some single-use coffee pods, but not all of them. At CoffeeAM, you can rest assured that your K-cup style coffee pods won’t damage the planet. Read on for more information.
Here To Stay
Face it, single-use coffee makers are here to stay. They may not be for everyone, but the use of single-serve coffee machines is second only to that of drip-style coffee makers here in the US. The convenience of popping a pod in the machine, pushing a button, and having a piping hot cup of coffee within a minute or two helps to get busy people out the door or on to other tasks in a much shorter amount of time.
Podocolypse
There have been quite a few people who have determined coffee pods are a threat to our environment. We’re not saying all coffee pods are environmentally friendly, but not all single-use coffee pods are bad for the environment. Take our CoffeeAM single-use coffee pods for example. Made by iFill, our K-cup style single-use coffee pods are not only filled with freshly-roasted, 100% pure arabica bean coffee, they make a richer, more flavorful cup of coffee than most other coffee pods, and they are also 100% recyclable.
How Do They Do That?
Well, we’ll start with our fresh coffee. As you probably already know, we freshly roast all our coffees to order. We never pre-roast any of our coffees. This ensures all our 100% pure arabica bean coffee is as fresh as possible when it shows up on your doorstep. Once we roast our coffee, if it is to be ground (which, face it, all coffee must be ground for single-use coffee pods), we will grind it, also to order. After roasting and grinding, we fill our iFill single-serve coffee pods right on sight. We don’t outsource to other companies. Then we ship your freshly filled single-use coffees directly to your front door.
How does it taste so much stronger and full-flavored than other coffee pods? Our iFill coffee pods have revolutionized the coffee pod design. Rather than a paper filter inside a plastic cup which only fills approximately 2/3rds of the cup, our single-serve cups have a polypropylene filter which lines the inside of the cup all the way to the bottom. So your CoffeeAM coffee pods have more coffee in them than most store brand coffee pods.
Finally, how are our iFill CoffeeAM single-use coffee pods better for the environment? Well, they are made with 100% fully recyclable content. Once you brew your coffee with a CoffeeAM single-serve coffee pod, just toss the whole thing in the recycle bin! It can’t get any easier than that.
