4. Environment

A pod coffee maker is a well-known coffee maker that makes use of hot water to push the coffee pod into. This makes a robust coffee that is easy to prepare. These machines aren't without controversy however, as they are seen by many as the primary source of waste packaging and grounds of coffee.

They aren't as environmentally harmful as people believe. They may even be better than traditional filters and cups.

The capsules and pods can be recycled or composted without any environmental impact. This is a great advantage over coffee filters and cups, which cause pollution to the environment by emitting greenhouse gases when discarded.

The pods also contain exactly the amount of coffee ground needed, which reduces waste during the preparation and production stages. The machine is able to heat only the precise amount of water that is needed, which decreases the use of energy as well. These, along with a more sustainable energy source and reducing milk consumption (which is the main cause of a latte’s carbon footprint), can help you reduce your coffee’s environmental impact.

Of course, there is still the fact that there is lots of waste in the process of brewing coffee, regardless of the method you choose. The packaging, grounds, and milk all contribute to the coffee's carbon footprint. It is important to note however, that the bulk of coffee's carbon foot print is due to the harvesting and use of nitrous-emitting fertilisers.
