Coffee beans turn into coffee grounds: a new way to make coffee at home!

New ways to use coffee grounds: making them at home

Coffee beans are one of the most common ingredients in our daily life. They are used to make a cup of coffee. However, did you know that coffee beans can be used for more purposes after they become coffee grounds? In this article, we will introduce some new ways to make coffee grounds at home, so that you can make full use of these seemingly useless byproducts.

1. Braun coffee pot as fertilizer

If you are a gardening enthusiast and like to grow flowers, vegetables and other plants, making fertilizer at home may be a good choice. Sprinkling coffee grounds on the soil can increase soil fertility and provide nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium required by plants. In addition, due to its acidic characteristics, coffee grounds can also improve acidic soil and inhibit certain harmful microorganisms and insects.

2. Clean the kitchen and bathroom

Due to their small size and strong adsorption capacity, coffee grounds can be used as a natural cleaning agent when cleaning kitchens and bathrooms. Place a small amount of coffee grounds on a damp cloth and use it to wipe surfaces such as countertops, sinks and bathtubs to remove stubborn stains and introduce a fresh coffee aroma.

3. Remove odor

If you have odor problems in your kitchen, try using coffee grounds. Place a small dish of dry coffee grounds in the fridge or cupboard to absorb and neutralize odors. Sprinkling a thin layer of coffee grounds on the bottom of a pot when cooking fish or other strong-smelling foods can also have the same effect.

4. Exfoliate your skin

Want smooth and delicate skin? You don't have to spend a lot of money on expensive exfoliating products. Take a proper amount of coffee grounds that are moist but not too sticky (adjustable according to personal needs) and gently massage them on your body to remove dead skin cells and make your skin softer and smoother.

5. Make coffee grounds soap

If you like handcrafting, why not try making coffee ground soap? First, mix the coffee grounds with a base oil such as olive oil or coconut oil, and add an appropriate amount of lye for saponification. Then, dry it in a mold for several weeks to get natural coffee ground soap. This soap can not only clean the body, but also remove odor and dead skin cells.

6. Make baking seasoning

If you love baking, you will love this application. Mixing coffee grounds with sugar, cocoa powder, etc. can make a seasoning with a strong coffee aroma. You can sprinkle this seasoning on cakes, cookies or other desserts to add a special flavor to them.

7. Remove eye bags and dark circles

Working long hours or staying up late can easily lead to eye bags and dark circles. Coffee grounds can help alleviate this problem. Gently massage a proper amount of moistened coffee grounds around the eyes, then rinse with water. The caffeine in coffee has vasoconstriction and antioxidant effects, which can reduce puffiness and dark spots.

Conclusion

It seems that we no longer need to throw away the remaining coffee grounds. Through these new home-made games, we can make full use of them and bring more fun and convenience to family life.

Whether it is a fertilizer, a cleaner or a beauty product, be sure to use the right amount and follow the correct method. At the same time, if you experience any discomfort during use, stop using it immediately and seek medical attention.
