That was my thought exactly

I read that as the Coffee yarn itself is made from 65% Cotton and 35% Polyester. The sock has 77% Coffee yarn. And yes, no coffee ground. They still end up in the waist heap! Still, pretty crazy product!

I read that the polyester is made from recycled pep bottles blended with coffee grinds. I read they also stopped using recycled coffee grounds and have a "coffee plant" -yes, yes, a "coffee plant"- since they exceeded their ready supply of recycled grounds..not sure if they also sell coffee.

Right you are.

Must just be a typo on the coffee sock add as the processed ground coffee fiber is added to the plastic bottle polyester to make the coffee yarn, it's not "coffee-ester", per se.

Coffee grounds [eliminate] odors, and [are] combined with polyester from recycled plastic bottles to make fabric.

Seems like it should read:

77% Coffee-grounds yarn (45% Cotton, 35% Polyester, 20% recycled coffee grounds fiber)

But I'm being picky...

A different kind of grinder relationship, a funny one at that.

This relates to me more than I am really comfortable with

Good to hear the 75E is that good.

From a woman's perspective, I don't think I could ever allow an EK in my home after seeing that.

Oh yea I'm happy with it. The fact that the guy in the video is also named Ryan is quite telling as well

Quite a bit of time and effort went into this.
