Introducing

Coffee & Tea to Go Go™

Problem:
We are polluting our planet through the beverages we drink. Coffee & tea require pods, filters, sachets and cups that are all wasteful as they are thrown away and can sit in landfills for decades or worse wind up in our ocean’s even longer.

Additionally, we spend both time (up to 2.5 hours a week) waiting in lines & money (average over $1,200 a year) on coffee & tea at our local shops.

Freshly brewed is hard to come by in the great outdoors; on a hike, camping, the beach, etc.

Solution – Coffee & Tea to Go Go™:
Create a Dual-Purpose Filter: Sustainable, Eco-Friendly & Reusable K-Cup (Fits all Keurig machines).  A filter for home and office, that also transforms into the smallest & lightest (Entire Brewing Kit weighs less than 7 ounces: Silicone Cup, Siphon/Pump, Filter with Indoor & Outdoor tops, Filter Brush and Spoon) portable coffee and tea brewing product in the world!

Step 1: Fill the Filter with Coffee or Tea

Step 2: Screw on Top & Siphon/Pump 

Step 3: Place in Water – Push & Pull 3-7 times depending on desired Strength & Flavor

Indoor & Outdoor

Step 4: That’s It – Sip & Enjoy!

 

The siphon/pump combined with the filter allows you to control your brew strength richness and density of your coffee & tea flavor.

How it all began…

Brewing from home a few years ago my wife and I chose, just like over *42% of all American households, to make our lives easier by purchasing a single cup coffee & tea brewing system.  We chose a **Keurig, the most popular make and model.

On the way to work, I would just grab a cup from the local shop at breakfast and then  later in the day stop in for another cup to power through the afternoon.

The onset of Covid it changed everything around the world.  In New York City, our coffee & tea options within our community became limited to go to the local coffee shop and get our daily fix.  Retailers were closing their doors, but the great outdoors were wide open.  No longer being able to go into the office, we took advantage of our time.  Like a lot of people, we started traveling and getting back to nature; visiting national parks, beautiful mountain ranges and coastlines that the good old USA is known for (We really do live on an incredible continent with so much diversity!).

Being out of work for months waiting for Covid to stop peaking allowed us all to really give life a good-think!  Regarding coffee & tea, I started pondering the fact that while our Keurig machine makes life easier, we were contributing to the problem of polluting by throwing away coffee & tea pods every day.

Coffee cups aren’t any better, as we’re all throwing them away as well, just for sheer convenience without realizing what we’re doing to our environment. 

Fact is, it can start out innocently, as we feel we’re doing the right thing by throwing them in a garbage that may even be labeled, “Recycle”   

Unfortunately, it ends up here:
           

So, just how many cups get tossed away every year?: 

Above, the Seattle Space stands 605 ft.  This mountain of cups represents almost 4 x that amount.  2300 ft.  is almost 1/2 a mile in length and that’s just in the USA.  How many get thrown away worldwide?

Sadly,  ***1 out of every 400 only get recycled, because of the polyethylene lining in cups used to prevent them from leaking.

They wind up in landfills for decades:

So, let’s just –

As they end up in our ocean’s as well:

Plus,

We have habits out of sheer convenience and neglect for our surroundings.  It’s really easy to do better when it comes to our environment!

So, I started thinking about all of this.  There certainly are K-cups and other coffee & tea pods that are reusable, sustainable and save our environment from disposable plastics.  There are many portable coffee & tea brewers as well.   Hmmm, I thought  further and said, “What if you can design one device that would be a catch-all and do both?”  I searched high and low and I couldn’t find one.

I went to work on this idea.  I met with many designers, engineers and manufacturers. 

I knew there had to be a way to achieve an at home and on the go coffee and tea micro-brewer. Many, many prototypes later, through trial and error, we did it!  

We designed a perfectly engineered Dual Purpose Filter: Eco-friendly, reusable, sustainable filter that can be used in the home and office, yet also transforms into the lightest and smallest portable coffee & tea micro-brewing product in the world!

Don’t Do This – Do This!  ….And Go From This – To This – Like That! 

    

What also makes Coffee & Tea to Go Go™ extra special is that it is ideal for travel, since we took it a step further and created a brewing kit that comes with a silicone cup not only used for brewing your tea or coffee, but also doubles as the carrying case to hold all the components within the kit!:
