Save Money With Coffee Beans

4/10/2015

 To add to the new information in the realm of First World Problems, my Tassimo is wearing out. This is my second Tassimo in 6 years, they replaced my first one well beyond the warrenty (simple mistake, but it made me very happy!) Now I am faced with the decision to replace it or not. I have choosen not too.
I remember when I made my own coffee, in an actual coffee pot, and when i used my French Press travel mug, and I think it's time to return! This saves me money in SO many ways!!!

1) much cheaper, it's actually cheaper to make an entire pot then one cup in my Tassimo (or a Kureg if you're not using the reusable cup)
2) almost as fast, I can set my coffee pot to wake up before me and brew itself, or I can boil a kettle and toss it in my french press, about 1-2 mins, then let it "steep" for 5 mins (I like a strong coffee)
3) a small bowl (I'm currently using a tealight holder) full of straight from the package coffee beans has made my entire upper level of my house smell amazing
4) I can choose exactly how strong, what type, which roast, etc that I want each day. Sure I can do that with Tassimo too, I've a cupboard full, but if you want straight up coffee it's really only coffee, light, dark, or some fancy blend or cappacino. With making my own, I can even mix my own special blend of coffee beans each morning (that totally makes me look a little pathetic doesnt it, well, if people can make their own wine I can blend my own coffee!)
5) coffee beans are a good deoderizer for other places then the house and they hide well, without adding respritory issues and sprays and chemicals
6) I can now choose free trade options if I want, so I'm doing something good I guess
7) I can use my coffee beans for baking, airfreshner, snacks (chocolate coffered espresso beans anyone?!) crafts, playing "marbles" without buying marbles... It's almost endless, and they are cheap enough in bulk to actually justify mulitple uses.

Saving the world one coffee bean at a time!
