I’ve been using my Aeropress 3-5x more often daily since #ShelterInPlace started, and some inefficiencies/eco-tips occurred to me.

1. Compost the coffee grounds — I’ve never really composted cuz it’s usually kind of gross, but coffee grounds are pretty inoffensive when composted. Started doing this instead of chucking spent grounds in the trash, now my trash is way less gross too. ♻️

2. Precisely measure water — heating water takes energy, whatever you don’t end up using just cools back down wasting energy, and the more water you heat the longer it takes. I measured that it takes me exactly 300mL per Aeropress with the recipe I use, now that’s all I heat per cup. 🔋⏱

3. Use a reusable filter — I ran out of paper filters, and instead of restocking I bought a reusable filter I’ve been curious about for years. Can hardly tell the difference. 🌲
