Do K-Cups save you money? Yes it can.

One typical analysis, comparing Top brand K-Cups versus ground coffee, showed that the per-cup cost was 66¢ versus 28¢ for the standard drip. If you make three cups a day, 365 days a year, that adds up to around $723 spent on K-Cups, versus $307 for regular coffee brewers. So you’d easily save $400 a year by going the old-fashioned route. Or do you?

Keep in mind that is for the top of the line K-cup branded coffee. If you go with say a Maxwell House or Folgers quality the cost difference drops. Go with a store brand K-Cup and the cost difference disappears to almost zero. With perhaps even a small savings if you conceder the 1/2 pot of coffee you throw out on a daily
bases.

Methane is a global warming gas many times more potent that carbon dioxide.With Methane having one advantage over Carbon Dioxide. That is Methane can be used as a fuel. The process to make this work is relative simple with the moist used coffee grounds being heated with potassium hydroxide. So who cares you may be asking yourself. While It's not likely your local power company will be digging around in your trash ben for your used coffee grounds in order to capture and store their Methane emissions. Some smaller producers of Methane emissions may have some interest. Many oil wells also produce small amounts of natural gas. The volume of gas is so small that it's uneconomical to lay the needed pipe in order to place this gas into the natural gas lines that heat your home. So this gas is "flared off". It's the flam
