  Thermos bottles

  In my opinion, the most environmentally friendly way to make coffee is also that which will keep it hot and good-tasting the longest.
  Do not use any kind of coffee machine. Use a paper filter in a filter holder.  Put the filter holder directly on top of the opening to a good-quality thermos bottle.
  Heat water in the microwave and pour it into the filter. This takes only slightly more time that using a coffee maker, but it is well worth it in terms of the resulting taste, not to mention energy savings.
  Note that the filter holder, the vessel used to heat the water, and the thermos bottle do not need to be cleaned with soap and water, thus saving enormous amounts of water. Once in a while they could be rinsed out. A thermos bottle used for coffee should never be used for any other liquid because it will leave the coffee taste in it, and it should be rinsed with water and never scrubbed with soap.
  The coffee grounds can be put in the garden.
  With the exception of heating water in a microwave and putting the grounds in the garden, this is what nearly the entire country of Brazil does.  Every home has at least one thermos, and fortunately we also have Arabica beans down here.
  The AeroPress coffee maker looks like it will make great coffee, but will need copious quantities of water used to clean it between each cup.On Umbra on reheating coffee posted 1 year, 11 months ago 20 Responses
