Yesterday someone mentioned aeropress as an alternative to the Moka pot. A coffee maker with consumables that produces waste on every use gets a pass from me. Pods are the most glaring example, but the filters are also problematic. You can kinda maybe reuse it a few times, but it's still more needles pollution.

@piggo Says a person whose garbage bin is full of packaging from the supermarket. Man, those little filters are the most normal decomposable filter paper in a round shape. You could have come up with a better argument.

And yes, there's a metal mesh to that gadget if you don't want filters.

@FailForward ah i see you are an expert in the content of my garbage bin. There's almost nothing in it, I shop like twice a month. Either way, this waste is constant and mostly unavoidable. The filters with questionable compostability would be an extra bit of waste added.

@piggo But yes, personally, I do not see that little piece of paper as so bad in relation to all those other things I am doing just to be: e.g, that packaging, owning a car, or using Internet for shitposting (electricity of data centers).

I hope you also see that in relation to all sorts of luxury non-essential stuff you and me are doing (e.g., 3d printing), these little filter papers are probably the least problematic item.
