Sustainability and Coffee

  • Coffee is one of the best materials for composting.  It breaks down nicely and earthworms absolutely love it.  Coffee makes gardens happy.
  • If you are using paper coffee filters make sure to compost those as well.  Try to use the unbleached ones; they make the coffee taste better.
  • Most coffee shop cups are not biodegradable or even recyclable.  If you must go to a coffee shop, order your drink “for here” in a mug, or bring your own mug. Some shops even give discounts for bringing in your own cup.
