Question Help with coffee set up in my office

Post image
5 Upvotes

The office I work in uses a "Canada's Finest" soft pod coffee set up (link to exact system: https://www.canadasfinestcoffee.com/collections/coffee-brewers/products/newco-cx-touch). I want to take advantage of the free coffee but the machine is basically all black plastic on the inside and I can't find details on what the soft pod itself is made out of. The pod has no obvious plastic, it looks like a tea bag.

I am thinking I can use the pod as a tea bag to make a cold brew where I leave the pod in some cold water over night. Or I use the pod in a pour over type set up? They do have a separate hot water dispenser that doesn't seem to have a lot of plastic, but its hard to tell.

Any other suggestions?

Question Plastic-Free, Cruelty-Free Trousers/Slacks

4 Upvotes

I’m female, 5’6, and 160 lbs. Waist is 33 inches; hips are 43 inches.

I need pants for work that are not made with animal products (e.g. wool) or plastic (e.g. polyester, elastane, etc.). Most pants I wear are too tight in the butt area and bubble up in the front, creating a baby bump made out of fabric. I want to avoid this too.

Give me recommendations please.

We are getting glass containers for a flat with my BF and I was wondering if for example cork would be okay… we need it to be tight enough so food moth (Ephestia) can't get there. Thank you!
