Ever since I heard the report on CBC radio this morning about K-cups and the single–serve coffee machine craze, I have been in a stew.

It is mind-boggling and depressing to think that in this day and age when people on so many fronts are working to reduce waste, so many others are buying another new machine to sit on their counter which creates so much unnecessary waste, when you can make a perfectly delicious cup of coffee in a few minutes using a French press or a simple filter system with no waste whatsoever provided you compost your coffee grounds.

The recycling program for K-cups is an energy-wasting solution to a garbage problem that shouldn’t exist in the first place.

That’s my rant – now I’m going to bang my head against the wall . . .
