zero waste

disposable coffee filter

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 78 points 2 months ago

It doesn't make any waste if you never dispose of the filter.

I piss on my flowers every day, it's basically the same thing.

[-] robocall@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Your flowers must smell lovely

[-] baguettefish@discuss.tchncs.de 28 points 2 months ago

a metal filter would make the pasta water coffee taste bad

[-] juliebean@lemm.ee 15 points 2 months ago

it may be disposable, but it is also eatable.

[-] Hupf@feddit.org 10 points 2 months ago

So are the coffee grounds

[-] proti@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

who knows how many times she used it already/plans to use

[-] camr_on@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

I compost the filters

She eats pasta for breakfast?

[-] v4ld1z@lemmy.zip 30 points 2 months ago

Meal prep maybe. But if I had the time and energy to cook it in the morning, I'd eat spaghetti all the time for breakfast

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 23 points 2 months ago

breakfast isn't magical, just eat whatever makes you happy.

[-] WereCat@lemmy.world 75 points 2 months ago

Next time use coffee water to cook pasta

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 33 points 2 months ago

Bathwater > pasta water > coffee water

Otherwise it's unhygenic

[-] Klear@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

That may be, but a coffee shower sounds reasonable to me at this point.

[-] spankinspinach@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 months ago

I'm already a full convert. Coffee shower, coffee scrub, coffee face mask, rinse, repeat. Repeat 6x daily for maximum benefit.

[-] qyron@sopuli.xyz 54 points 2 months ago

You want to save water when boiling pasta? Stop using a big pot.

Pour the pasta into a skilled, add enough water to completely cover it and turn on the heat. Add a pinch of salt (not too much, as you will be eating all of it) and allow the pasta to cook. It will slowly absorb the water it needs and will normally leave little to none behind. If some water is left behind, use it to thicken sauces; the gluten in the water helps.

This works with every pasta, even spaghetti.

[-] Uebercomplicated@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 months ago

This is great advice and took me far to long to learn; I also tend to spare a little pasta water to pour over the pasta at the end, and remember to stir a ton!

Wouldn't it be better to boil, make the coffee, and use the rest of the water for pasta?

[-] astrsk@fedia.io 88 points 2 months ago
[-] Gladaed@feddit.org 13 points 2 months ago

No, because the water you use for coffee is converted entirely to coffee+wet grounds. Can't save there. But the pasta water isn't entirely absorbed by the pasta and the sauce.

Note that you can cook noodles in gay less water than used by traditional methods and then use the excess to make your sauce.

[-] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 33 points 2 months ago

gay less water

So... does that imply most water is gay?

[-] Gladaed@feddit.org 20 points 2 months ago

I mean... its wet isn't it.

[-] Denjin@lemmings.world 22 points 2 months ago
[-] Amputret@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 months ago

Please don’t feed the pedants.

[-] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 29 points 2 months ago

This implies pasta was made for breakfast.

[-] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

That's the most disconcerting part. I'm glad I wasn't the only one.

[-] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 4 points 2 months ago

Probably going to have it with strawberries.

Just use pasta/rice water to water your plants. They will enjoy the extra nutrients.

Edit: maybe not, I'm not a scientist.

[-] sunoc@sh.itjust.works 27 points 2 months ago

I was wondering about this because that seems like a good idea upfront, but apparently:

  • The extra minerals and stuff is a very minor benefit for plants and will not substitute for fertilizer.
  • If you put salt or seasoning in the boiling water, don't use it for plants.
  • The starch might also promote mold / bacteria growth.
[-] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 months ago

Pasta water is in fact an excellent thing to save... As a cooking ingredient.

Specifically, what you can do is freeze it in an ice cube tray, and then store the cubes in a Ziploc. A handful of cubes added to a soup, stew, stock or sauce will give it a smoother, more silky texture thanks to all the starch.

[-] arandomthought@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 months ago

Satan, please...

[-] Zier@fedia.io 19 points 2 months ago

So this is how you do an Italian pour over. Interesting...

[-] NutsGate@feddit.nl 3 points 2 months ago

Imagine using it for that Dalgona coffee everyone was making during lockdown. The creaminess from all that starchy water would be next level

[-] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 16 points 2 months ago

Has she peed that day? Is that what she cooked the pasta in?

[-] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 21 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

ZERO waste, leave no trace.

[-] Psythik@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

You can use the pasta water to make a hell of a tasty alfredo sauce (or use to thicken up most Italian sauces really). That's the only use I've found for it so far.

[-] BennyInc@feddit.org 13 points 2 months ago

Well, somebody had to try. If it worked, it could have become the next big trend at Starbucks®️ or some artisanal coffee shops.

[-] thecheddarcheese 11 points 2 months ago

this reminds me of that one tlc episode where a woman scraped leftover spaghetti sauce from plates to reuse it and made lasagna in a dishwasher or some shit

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 6 points 2 months ago

Am I tripping balls?

[-] dukatos@lemm.ee 6 points 2 months ago

Also, you used a paper filter, you dumb ass

[-] nick@campfyre.nickwebster.dev 5 points 2 months ago

What's wrong with a paper filter for a pour over?

[-] Ironfacebuster@lemmy.world 21 points 2 months ago

It filters out the microscopic pasta chunks that you get to chew on if you brew it directly in the cup

[-] nick@campfyre.nickwebster.dev 4 points 2 months ago

mmm delicious 😋

Yeah if you make a pasta bake with dry pasta, just add equal weights pasta and water and it should cook OK.

[-] lousyd@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 2 months ago

More like coffee drule, amiright?
