Surprisingly "green" in my house!! I bought the washable filter that goes with it and have been using it to make coffee one cup at a time! I'm no longer using paper filters like I was in the regular coffee pot. it makes the coffee so fast I am using less energy I'm sure. Plus I make one cup at a time so I'm drinking a whole cup instead of making coffee in the regular pot and end up throwing some of it away everyday becasue it's too hard to make such a small amount in a larger coffee maker. LOL!! Plus it's so easy to use I have cut out all other coffee drinks! I was getting into a bad habit of buying rock star coffee drinks and starbucks double shots and stuff like that in cans and drinkign those a couple days a week. I will say the K-cups are a waste of money and make so much trash!! I tried the cups that came with the maker and honestly most of them weren't as good as my regular coffee grounds anyway! So I won't buy anymore of those. I'm in coffee heaven!

Cool! I thought you had to use the special little cups, but that's cool that you don't!

Washable filters are the way to go!
I love mine..but when in doubt--at least coffee grinds the wet filter can go in the compost No waste there

Where did you get the washable filter??? That sounds great! I have always despised those coffee makers because of the cost and waste in the little cups, but it sounds like you have found a way to make it work "green".

I got mine at Bed bath and beyond, but I saw them at target too.
