Green Mountain Coffee is my enemy of the day. I don’t hate coffee I just hate what it has become. I am not a coffee snob nor do I look down upon the occasional Starbucks Carmel Frap, but these coffee pods are ridiculous. Why? Looking at it from a packaging perspective you get ONE drink for how much waste? Not to mention the combination of foil and plastic makes this virtually unrecyclable (is that a word?). Oh yes, and if you are a big coffee drinker and have 3 - 17 cups a day, guess what?? You have successfully killed a baby penguin BY YOURSELF! Morgan Freeman is unhappy and mommy penuin will never see baby again! Okay, drastic maybe but wouldn’t a coffee pot FULL of coffee be better, quicker, less mess, less throw away in the long run? I see a need for a redesign for those people too lazy to load their own little coffee cup. Anybody?

One last thing…this coffee mug from Highwave caught my eye. Great form that does something that all coffee shoppes attempt to do with those cheap coffee cup huggers…prevention of the burnt hands (or crotch).
