Coffee pods....

Last year on holiday, with family, I was introduced to a coffee machine that used pods. To be honest, while the coffee tasted okay it wasn't hot enough and certainly produced a disappointingly small amount; I'm used to drinking a large mug of piping hot instant coffee! But, what really struck me over the week was how much waste they produce. It was shocking. This year I packed a jar of my usual coffee and stuck with that. Today my daughter came home from school and told me that Hamburg had taken a stand against the coffee pods. I think she remembered me remarking on how dreadfully wasteful they are! (so she does listen, sometimes!!) I searched out the link and here it is:

Good for you Hamburg!
