What can I do with the coffee I used?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 98/100. Cannonball (1260) 4 years ago

I was thinking about it when doing my coffee,
Maybe I can put it in my plants or something like that?
Do you have an idea?
Do you have such use of it?

Coffee grounds are good for organic garden.
You can sprinkle coffee grounds around the base of plants to repel ants, snails, and slugs.

Plants love it. You can also throw it in a composting bin and let it break down. It adds a lot of nitrogen and helps activate other things in your composter.

It's great for plants (indoors and out) and gardens.
You can use it to exfoliate your skin.
Put a cup of it anywhere you want to absorb odors...freezer, car, closets...

I don't have much knowledge for skin treatment but I'm interested in it.
What is the meaning of exfoliating my skin and when and how should I do it with the rest of my coffee?


myLot reputation of 99/100. brimia (6180)  4 years ago

Coffee grounds scrub away dead dry skin, making the skin softer. Also, the caffeine in the grounds helps to stimulate the growth of new skin cells and also reduce the appearance of cellulite.
Let grounds dry out thoroughly. Then mix them with a favorite body wash or oil and rub into the skin while standing in the tub or shower. Rinse off. Repeat twice a week.

So after this I should hydrate the skin after this?
If yes,what kind of cream should I apply?

I've heard of putting a few coffee grounds in with some plants, but I haven't done it. Coffee can dye different materials slightly different colors. Also can be the backdrop for dying some eggs different colors.

Will see if it'll be happy or not :)

Both coffee grounds and tea leaves after they are used can be used in your compost.They make good manure.If you are not into composting just put them around your plants.
