Coffee Grounds Guide: From Fresh Beans to Fragrance-Rich Grounds

Coffee grounds production process

Coffee grounds refer to the residue extracted from fresh coffee beans, which can be used to make fertilizers, cleaning agents, etc. The following will introduce the complete production process from fresh beans to fragrant residues.

Choose high-quality coffee beans

To make fragrant coffee grounds, you first need to choose high-quality coffee beans. High-quality coffee beans usually have higher water content and lower impurities. You can judge their quality by observing the color, smelling the smell, and touching the smoothness of the surface.

Grinding fresh coffee beans

Put the selected high-quality coffee beans into the grinder and grind them. According to personal taste preference, you can choose different coarseness and fineness to adjust. Generally speaking, coarse grinding is suitable for brewing large pot or French press, while fine grinding is suitable for espresso or drip brewing.

Brewing coffee

Put the ground coffee beans into the coffee machine or hand brewing pot, add the right amount of water to brew. According to different brewing methods and personal tastes, you can adjust parameters such as water temperature, soaking time and water volume. By controlling these parameters, you can achieve the best taste of coffee.

Strain out the liquid

After brewing is completed, a filter or filter paper is placed over the container and the coffee liquid that has been soaked is poured in. The liquid part can be effectively separated from the solid part (i.e., coffee grounds) by the filter material.

Dry and store

Spread the wet coffee grounds evenly in a well-ventilated, cool and dry place to dry. After drying, store them in a sealed container in a cool place.

Utilize the fragrant residue

The remaining coffee grounds can be used in a variety of ways. First, it can be used as a fertilizer, sprinkled around plants in the garden to provide them with the nutrients they need. Secondly, coffee grounds can also be used as a cleaning agent to remove stubborn stains from pots and pans. In addition, coffee grounds can be made into beauty products such as facial masks or body scrubs.
