Um... you didn't provide a citation to your claim that it will be

Nice rant, but your suggestion that one "might as well stay home"
if one does not want to purchase and discard coffeemakers is
offensive. There is nothing "One true path" about questioning
this. You're way, way off base on this one. Doesn't mean you're
not pursuing a thougtful, resource-conserving life in general,
but you've latched onto the wrong argument in this discussion.
