Now that it has been revealed that the people behind Green Mountain and Keurig have, shall we say, questionable politics, it is even more high time for an alternative to the landfill-clogging, chemical-leeching plastic cups.
As if on cue, here is Steeped Coffee!
Set up like a traditional tea bag, these fully-biodegradable single-serving premium coffee makers turn a cup of hot water into something smooth and satisfying with just a few dips and a bit of steeping. It works much like a French press without the hardware and can give coffee as good as some Rave Coffee espresso machines without the noise and cleanup.
Steeped comes in a growing array of fairly-traded, non-GMO flavors that currently includes an eye-opening light blend, a West Coast-inspired medium, two degrees of dark and a decaf. They can be bought individually or in mixed boxes to set up and share at the office or to give you a choice at home, instead of having to wait for the bag of beans to be emptied.
So the next time you want just one great cup of coffee without the production, the mess, or the ties to nefarious dictators, get steeped in a cup of Steeped.
