I like the concept of Nespresso but as others have said the waste is the problem. You have to wonder though it seems like a simple problem to solve. In my region a local businessman used potato starch to make "paper" plates. If Nespresso could make biodegradable pod cases that would solve the waste problem.
This article is timely for me I've only just discovered how to make great coffee. I've had a French press and a cheap coffee bean grinder for decades. With a little knowledge I finally made a really good cup of coffee. Nabob beans $4 and a few minutes makes great coffee. It's so great that I went from milky lattes and double-doubles to drinking it black. It's amazing how much a tiny bit of milk or sugar muffles the taste great coffee.
30g coffee beans freshly ground, 450g water, 5 minute brew. It's so simple with a French press no filters no electricity no pressurized steam.
- wiether 6y agoAs a french person, I wasn't aware of what was a "French press". With the help of Google I've seen that I perfectly know what it is, but we don't call it that way here and furthermore it's not a popular way of making coffee. But thanks for the knowledge !
