Everyone who uses a Keurig with disposable K-Cups, lift your hand. It’s OK, nobody can see you. Except me. we know you’re out there. And I’m with we in a array of shame and despondency each time we chuck one of those things away. we cruise about a tiny towering of rabble I’ve built all by myself and try to shake it off while we sip my nice, uninformed one crater of coffee and we don’t have to futz with a French press or a pour-over or a season or a percolator.

K-Cups are: So. Easy. But a social — and moral — vigour to revoke this kind of rubbish seems to get some-more heated each day.

Well, this Steeped Coffee is charity us a approach out. They container what we cruise to be some juicy coffee in a permeable bag, arrange of like a tea-bags,  that expands into arrange of like a pyramid figure in prohibited water. Here’s some good news: You can use your Keurig to feverishness a coffee. Just put your coffee bag in your cup, put a crater underneath a Keurig season declaim area and run a H2O by with no K-Cup in a holder-place. 

I attempted a California Blend (medium roast) and a Driftwood Blend (French roast). we advise regulating a medium-sized crater choice on a Keurig. The large-cup done it a small diseased for my taste. The association suggests 8 ounces of H2O per bag.

They package a coffee bag inside what looks like a cosmetic pouch, though a association says it’s “fully compostable.” And a box they send it in is unchanging recycled corrugated for those of we scoring during home.

You can get big-brand name coffee single-serve bags from Folgers, for most cheaper, though those enclose present coffee and don’t have a season form these imagination ones do. 

While their goal is excellent and a coffee is unequivocally good, a one-time-purchase of a 30-bag box of Steeped Coffee will set we behind an eyebrow-raising $39. If we “subscribe,” definition carrying a box sent each one to 6 weeks, it’s $30, or $1 a bag. So Steeped Coffee is not a inexpensive date, though single-serve coffee isn’t accurately a discount to start with. Perhaps this is The One for you.
