Over time it has become more and more practical, simple, available to everyone at any time. Making coffee is a small unmissable moment for many people in the world, who from the grinding and roasting by hand have arrived, century after century, to the classic moka, an inevitable gadget in all homes, to reach the very comfortable pods, so much in vogue in this moment, synonymous with taste and design which, in a few moments, guarantee an excellent coffee. Modernity, however, sometimes does not go hand in hand with nature and the environment: "the beautiful against the practical is an ancestral duel", the poet sang, but also the "practical" against "respectful of the environment is not less. Let's make a quick excursus: single-serving pods are synonymous with practicality, a true revolution in the habits of coffee lovers, so much so that already in 2013 sales exceeded those of filtered coffee. Around that small, convenient container of coffee, however, there are many layers of different materials that make its disposal very difficult, bringing with it a heavy baggage of environmental impact. Over ten billion coffee capsules are sold worldwide every year, generating one hundred and twenty thousand tons of waste. Twelve thousand in Italy alone. These numbers help to understand how a "second revolution" of waffles should be taken into consideration. In attesa di una vera e propria soluzione che possa mettere d’accordo tutti i produttori di caffè, la risposta sembra poter essere solamente una: la cialda biodegradabile. La capsula biodegradabile non si limita a degradarsi in un breve tempo (anche settantacinque giorni), ma diventa una vera e propria risorsa per il futuro, fornendo un’ulteriore vita ad un momento quotidiano e abitudinario come quello di prendere il caffè. Un importantissimo processo di rigenerazione che sancisce un nuovo corso vitale alle cialde in questione, capace di dar vita a nuovi materiali come biopolimeri, inchiostri, pellet, carta e, addirittura, funghi commestibili. Soprattutto in quest’ultimo caso è stato studiato, nel corso del progetto “Caffè Circolare” presentato all’EXPO di Milano, come 1500 Kg di fondi di caffè possano essere trasformati in 150 Kg di funghi, con contenuti proteici maggiori rispetto ai funghi coltivati secondo metodologie standard. If technological development has led to an "ancestral duel" between comfort and respect for the environment, we have now reached a further turning point that leaves no room for doubt. What could be more beautiful than enjoying a good coffee, quick and easy, with the awareness of contributing to the protection of the environment and also being an active engine of a new vital process? Probably nothing. All that remains is to pick up a pod, think about what potential we have in our hands and, finally, prepare a good coffee, to the health of the environment.
