Eliminate high electric costs for messy coffeemakers. The Java Wand TM utilizes three (3) times less energy to brew coffee. Coffeemakers waste 65% of energy per cup versus heating enough water to prepare a single serving of coffee or tea using the wands. Minimize energy waste and your expenses. The electricity costs for an average auto drip coffeemaker is 5.3¢ per brew. The number increases by how long you typically leave your coffeemaker on during the entire day for possible future cups. Heating hot water for a single serving of coffee is only 1.9¢ per use. (Varies based on gas or electric use). The Big Picture On Electricity The USA uses 4,000,000,000 kWh yearly to make coffee, at an annual cost of $400 million in electricity. That's also 4 million tons of CO2 emissions. If coal is used to generate the power, as it is for 60% of US electricity. Coffee makers, like many home appliances, have significant operating costs because of the energy they consume. The operating cost can exceeds the cost of the appliances. With regular use of the Java Wand we can collectively make a big difference. Annual comparisons: Based on one cup a day you spend $193.85 to use your coffee maker versus only $ 69.35 to heat water annually. *Our cost comparative analysis to prepare one cup of coffee per day demonstrates an annual savings of $600.00. (See chart below) Eliminate the use of toxic plastic straws. When hot fluids (such as coffee and tea) are used with plastic straws, the heat releases the toxins in the plastic and you compromise your health and wellbeing. To make matters worse, the waste factor of toxic plastic straws on our planet is alarming. Plastic straws are rarely recycled and end up as toxic waste for the environment. The wands eliminate the need for toxic plastic straws and the paper they use to wrap them. With growing health concerns, the Tea and Java Wands are your personal straws, making it easy to enjoy beverages without concern about how sterilized your cup is. Eliminate the need for toxic plastic coffee lids, plastic stirrers and paper cups. Use your travel mug instead and stir with your wand. Eliminate Coffeemakers. The plastic used in coffee makers is not recyclable. Coffeemakers inefficiently waste electricity, paper filters, unnecessary amounts of coffee grinds, and extensive water for clean up. Many people leave their coffeemakers on during the day wasting even more electricity, chasing that last bitter cup in the pot. The last cup in the coffeemaker is usually bitter because it has been heated all day. With the Java Wand tm you can easily make a fresh cup each time. Save our trees and eliminate the need for messy coffee filters. Please consider all the precious trees that are required to produce the filters and the quantity of used filters that are discarded and never recycled on our planet. Use 50 % less coffee grinds per cup than amount used in a coffee maker. Even when you drink an entire pot of coffee, most of the coffee grinds are in the filter and go to waste. With the Java Wand you utilize 100% of the coffee grinds in your cup. You only need approximately 1 tablespoon of coffee grinds per cup. Consider how much coffee you waste in a coffeemaker. You can purchase the best fair trade coffee and only use a small amount per cup. You have the choice to stop wasting coffee and save money. Save Water. Eliminates the water waste to clean up your coffee maker and messy coffee maker spills that typically occur. The wands are easy to clean and dishwasher safe. Save money by drinking loose tea instead of tea bags. The paper in teabags adds to the environmental waste and tree destruction. Loose-leaf tea is one of the few arenas where you can get a much higher quality at a much lower cost. Loose tea has far greater choices, is healthier and significantly more economical. Loose teas provide premium quality, flavor, choices and surprisingly lower prices that can¹t simply be found in teabags. Good to excellent loose-leaf tea sells for between .01 - .10 cents per cup. Mass-market teabags run between 15 - 70¢ per cup. The vast majority of tea bags made around the world use paper as a filter and dust and fanning as the tea. Dust and fanning's are of the lowest quality tea available which is why your tea from bags gets bitter quickly. A tea bag is really just an ineffective portioning system and a way to get rid of leftover tea and maximize their profits. The vast majority of tea that goes into tea bags is usually the poorest quality. Decrease the amount of loose tea used by 50%. You only need a teaspoon of loose tea or herbs to prepare a single serving of tea. Save Water. Eliminates the water waste to clean up your tea balls, strainers, and pots. The wands are easy to clean and dishwasher safe. Commit to being a conscious steward of our beloved planet!
