A stovetop coffee percolator requires no filter or replaceable parts!  Espresso cleanup after breakfast (or lunch, or midnight) only requires a thorough rinse, while the grounds can go to compost.  

Plus, your espresso will taste like Italy.

Also, a village mint plant that needs a new home.  Perhaps in my lemonade.

The new eco bathroom products in my life.

BAMBOO TOOTH BRUSHES: I was a bit gaggy with these for a couple of weeks (think dry wooden tongue depresser feel). I can now report I’m fully comfortable with them and happy with the clean and longevity of the product. No shaggy bristles at all yet after several month’s use.

SOAP: this is what remains of a hair shampoo bar I was given to try 54 weeks ago. I wash my hair every second day. Over a year of use and still going! I have some unused bottle shampoo and conditioner to use up after the bar runs out. Once that happens I will be getting another hair soap bar again. At $14 each and over a year of use so far, I think this is excellent financial and eco value.

While the new store In.gredients will also specialize in local and organic ingredients, there's one major difference between this venture and its hometown competion: In.gredients promises to be the country's first ever "package-free, zero waste grocery store."
