Would you love of cup of AMAZING coffee every morning, save a tremendous amount of MONEY and live HEALTHIER while being more SUSTAINABLE?

Let us start with your coffee maker. If you use a coffee maker, then you are using electricity. Also coffee makers are being made with cheaper plastics to have a lower price tag. That cheap plastic holding boiling hot water can leach a soupy chemical mix into your coffee. Your health will not be affected tomorrow, but over your life time, why risk those carcinogens being a contributing problem.

So let us do away with the coffee maker and immediately save at least $120.00 off your electric bill per year and remove another plastic source that can have harmful elements.

The solution for not using a coffee maker is a French Press coffee maker, which will be a major contributing factor to a better tasting coffee! French Press coffee makers come in various sizes to make just one mug or up to 8 to 10 cups of coffee. The French Press you buy must have tempered GLASS, not plastic, because only three things DO NOT put carcinogens into our food or drink and that is Glass, Wax Paper, and Porcelain.

Another ingredient to making the best coffee in the world is Hand Ground coffee beans. Again your Hand Grinder must have a tempered GLASS container and a Porcelain Stone to grind the beans. With glass and porcelain there is no retention of smell because they are easier to clean. Also when you manually grind your coffee beans you get a consistent size, cut, and texture, so all the solubles can be extracted evenly. This is a major contributing factor to taste. Electric steel-cut coffee bean grinders can add a metal like taste and they pulverize the beans. Thus the fragments and small particles causes a result where different amounts of coffee solubles are extracted.Thereby sacrificing an even creation of flavor.

Finally, have a non-plastic, non-aluminum Travel Mug. Stainless steel or better still, a porcelain or old fashion Thermos with glass inside. They keep coffee hot the longest and are readily available online.

Making coffee was always 100% manual and when electricity came along that process was no longer acceptable. However, today energy is no longer cheap and we have only one Earth. So why not consider putting real flavor back into your cup of coffee by making coffee the original way? You will be saving so much more all around.
