Press Release Body = Marlboro, NJ - Every day we make choices that have an impact on the environment. 1stInCoffee.com knows that even small issues, such as how you make and drink your coffee, matter a lot. So it's important to take action about small things to leave a positive effect, reduce your carbon footprint, and help you lead a more "green" lifestyle. For example, if you brew your morning coffee at home, instead of traveling to your local café or coffee shop, you'll have a definite positive impact on your environment. You'll be using less fossil fuel, for one thing; you'll also save money, so your wallet sees the benefit immediately. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Division of Consumer Prices, has stated that it costs a nickel to brew an 8-ounce cup of coffee in your kitchen. When you compare that to the cost of buying a similarly-sized cup of coffee at your coffee shop, it's obvious which option is more cost-effective, in more ways than one. 1stInCoffee.com offers several handy tips on how to make a cup of coffee that's tasty, satisfying, and "green": * Stop using paper filters, which cannot be re-used, and switch to a permanent gold coffee filter. These are inexpensive and can be used for years. * Leftover coffee grounds are easily composted or used immediately as an excellent fertilizer in your garden. * Using coffeemakers with thermal carafes means that additional electricity is not needed to keep coffee nice and hot. * Brewing coffee at home means you'll reduce the amount of paper waste you create, because you'll no longer be using so many paper napkins, paper cups, or coffee sleeves. * Using freshly ground coffee rather than coffee pods means a reduction in waste, as well: coffee pods leave aluminum or paper waste behind. * When you make coffee at home, you can brew the amount you need. There are specialty coffeemakers from 1stInCoffee.com that have the ability to brew as little as two cups of coffee. The coffee is the same high quality whether you're brewing on a large cup cycle or a small cup cycle. There are even automatic coffeemakers even allow you to brew a single cup of excellent coffee. 1stInCoffee.com makes available to home consumers only the best high-end coffee equipment in the world.
