C: Is for re-cycled Coffee

Anyone who writes knows that you can go broke with the cost of printing out your work. Those ink cartridge's are expensive and you feel so guilty for those printed papers that go to waste. For those wishing to save money, seeking to "go green" or those just wishing to try something different, RTI now offers a printer that uses coffee instead of ink. In addition to recycling your grounds, the printer also uses good old fashioned elbow grease to move the grounds cartridge back and forth, saving power. "Hosted by Core77 and Inhabitat, this year's Greener Gadgets Design Competition resulted in this amazing item. Jeon Hwan Ju's RITI printer works by replacing environmentally un-friendly inkjet cartridges with the dregs from your daily coffee. Simply place used grounds in the ink case, insert a piece of paper, and move the ink case left and right to print text." " We focused on the ink cartridge since it is one of the problems when using a printer: it's often difficult to replace, costly to refill, and can stain your hands if mishandled." Using coffee or tea dregs as ink saves the cost buying ink, the burden of wasted things, and users' work. Furthermore, since the user moves the ink case in order to make a print, the device doesn't need electricity. Of course, you can smell a whisper of coffee or tea incense from the paper printed by RITI.

This is one of the coolest items soon to be on the market and that is a F.A.C.T.
