That first sip of morning coffee is one of life’s greatest pleasures, but did you know that drinking a mug of morning joe can do more than just give you a kick start? Used coffee grounds are handy for many uses after their initial brew.
Coffee ground’s many uses
Coffee grounds, used and unused, have many applications around the home:
- Used coffee grounds are a great ingredient in compost. Rich in nitrogen and potassium, coffee grounds enrich the soil and help you grow healthy plants.
- Coffee grounds act as a natural insect repellent. Spread over the soil in the garden, they drive away ants and other pests. Sprinkled onto household plant soil, coffee grounds keep gnats away. Rubbed into a pet’s coat before a bath, they drive off fleas.
- It’s not just insects that dislike coffee. To banish spiders, scorpions, and rodents, spread coffee grounds around the house’s perimeter, garage, and outbuildings.
- A small dish of unbrewed coffee grounds or beans can be placed in the refrigerator to absorb odors and give a pleasing aroma in their place, unlike baking soda, which absorbs smells but is itself scent-neutral.
- Unused coffee grounds make an excellent skin exfoliator when mixed with coconut oil.
- Added to meat marinades, fresh coffee grounds add a hearty flavor to beef and chicken.
- Feeling crafty? Coffee grounds can be used as a natural dye to tint paper in a vintage sepia tone.
Store in a canister
Rather than tossing out your used coffee grounds, keep a snap-lid jar handy in the refrigerator. Then, you’ll have coffee grounds available anytime for these versatile functions.
Good for meeting People
Coffee is important to me to do business. It has two great reasons for that. Meeting places (Starbucks) and culture is both fun and you have a client's attention.
