DIY Coffee Pods



Here's How:

1. Save an empty, large coffee can or find another suitably sized container.
2. Put a filter in the bottom of the can and dump in a measure of your favorite grounds.
3. Keep stacking filters filled with grounds until you have filled the can.
    (This takes me about 5 minutes and makes about a two week supply.)

4. Enjoy the convenience of pre-filled, pre-measured filters.

 Those new pod coffee makers have become a pet peeve of mine. Originally I thought, "Wow! That's so convenient." But when I saw how much they cost per pod (more than your average cup of coffee from some places) I was annoyed. Then I started thinking about the packaging waste in our landfills. Those plastic and aluminum pods aren't going to break down anytime soon, unlike standard filters. Sure it doesn't have the same snob appeal as the latest and greatest coffee pods, but making your own pods will save time, money and space in our overtaxed landfills. I'm not the first to consider the environmental impact of coffee pods. Even Keurig admits that this is a real issue. Read more about that here.
