I am curious at how color fast this material is. I would worry SOME coffee properties would remain and its very staining. I dont want coffee spots all over the laundry. (They should make this into a robe, what better thing to smell like coffee.)

@Curves: Seriously?

1) Almost certainly the product is not going to smell like coffee.

2) They have processed the grounds so much that they have managed to make yarn out of it, then into sheets of fabric, dyed and then stitched into clothing. The dyes used after the process should be more of a concern and no more than any other article of clothing.

Once upon a time this sort of innovation was done here in the United States.

Now a lot of people here can't even afford the shirts that are literally made of someone's trash.

Also, since they make yarn out of this, will their slogan be "Good till the last drop...stitch"?

I think Dunkin' Donuts is already using this tech, as their coffee tastes like it's filtered through an old t-shirt.

@CameraShoe_GitEmSteveDave: I know, right? And they used to have the best coffee around.

Quit screwing up your coffee DD!

(I don't really believe they will read this, but it's worth a shot.)

@92BuickLeSabre: After being lambasted on Consumerist, I believe the official abbreviation is "Dn'D".

@TheyCallMeStacey_GitEmSteveDav...: That's too complicated. Screw Consumerist.

Fight the power (that fights the power)!

In this tough economy, I just resell my used coffee grounds to the people on the floor below me, and then they do the same, until the guy who lives on the corner (like, literally on the corner) is squeezing rainwater through the last coffee remnants, just so he can get a hint of the taste of what the Green Mountain coffee pods in his corner office once tasted like.
