And I feel conflicted. The beans feels like a smaller environment impact than K-cups. Whole beans in a giant container. Coffee filters. Those are the only two consumables of note. The K-cups come in a box, actually several boxes since it was a mix. 7 boxes for 6 flavors. The cups themselves are a plastic shells with a coffee filter capped with foil. The material and processing seems magnitudes larger than beans and a filter.
Buuutttt, it is so much more convenient. I guess mother nature will have to pay the price for my convenience.
