Taiwan's high-quality textile coffee grounds can also change into clothes.

It is a habit for many people to wake up with a cup of coffee a day, and the popularity of capsule coffee machines in recent years has made it easy for more people to enjoy good coffee at home or in the office. I am no exception. Since I bought a coffee machine a few years ago, apart from saving a lot of money for me who visit coffee shops because of time constraints, my family and I have unwittingly produced a lot of coffee grounds and capsules. Needless to say, coffee lovers in Hong Kong make about 12 tons of coffee grounds every day. If you make good use of them, apart from environmental protection, coffee grounds will also become a good helper in your daily life.

It can be used as a reserve only after drying.

No matter what method is used, the coffee grounds obtained from brewing coffee (except for three-in-one coffee, of course) must be dried before they are used or used as reserves, otherwise they will easily become moldy. The most natural and simple way is to spread the coffee grounds on the newspaper and expose them to the sun to ensure that the coffee grounds are completely dry after a week. If you want to dry the coffee grounds quickly, you can fry the coffee grounds in a pan over low heat. this method can remove the smell from the pot at the same time. If there is an oven at home, it can also be used to dry the coffee grounds. Stir the coffee grounds several times every 5 minutes to dissipate the heat and moisture, and repeat several times until the coffee grounds change from dark brown to light brown.

Practical articles on home furnishings

The odor is full of oxidizing molecules of different elements, and the soluble ingredients in the coffee grounds are dried and flowed away, resulting in pores that can filter the air and absorb these molecules to achieve the effect of deodorization and dehumidification. At the same time, coffee grounds contain about 2% nitrogen, which can effectively convert organic matter into fertilizer, and the alkaloids in coffee grounds can be used as plant insecticides, natural and environmentally friendly.

Suggested usage:

Put the dried coffee grounds into breathable cloth bags, silk stockings, tea filter bags, etc. Can be put in refrigerator, shoe cabinet, wardrobe and other wet places. Friends whose feet are easy to smell can try to put the deodorant bag into the shoes to remove the smell.

The coffee grounds used for potted plants can be dry or wet, as long as they are laid on the top layer of the soil, and the coffee grounds decompose themselves to provide nutrients for the potted plants.

Coffee grounds contain antioxidants, which can effectively neutralize chemicals in care products. In addition to exfoliating and dead skin, it can also reduce the appearance of orange peel tissue and make the skin smooth. In addition, coffee grounds can also accelerate fat metabolism, reduce subcutaneous fat, and clean up pores at the same time. When taking a bath in the future, you might as well try a bath gel or soap mixed with coffee grounds to massage in circles on the abdomen, buttocks, thighs and arms where it is easier to hoard fat. And apply coffee grounds to the eyelids or fundus, can repel eyelid edema and dark circles.

Recycled coffee capsule

In addition to the above recommended uses, there are many uses of coffee grounds, such as hair conditioner, mask, waxing the floor and so on. Readers might as well explore it online and extend the green positive energy indefinitely.

In addition to the reuse of coffee grounds waste, the coffee machine brands in the workshop have capsule recycling programs (even coffee grounds), which we all have to support. Warmly remind everyone that do not store used capsules in dense recycling bags for a long time. It is best to put them in ventilated containers and regular coffee bags to be recycled to specialty stores, otherwise they will stink because of mildew.

Christmas thoughts

It can be done on a personal level to turn coffee dregs into something useful, and in recent years, the business community has come forward to support it. In October this year, the toast workshop invited Green Walker to recycle coffee grounds in its 11 branches. The Green Walker specially treated the coffee grounds collected until they were completely dry and pressed them into the first small flowerpot made of local coffee grounds in Hong Kong. After being carefully polished, the small flowerpot has become the cradle of new life. From now to December 31, you can buy a "small spice pot gift box" at the toast workshop for $88, including coffee grounds flowerpot, flower mud, fertilizer made from coffee grounds, seeds, toast workshop gourmet coupons and 2-in-1 instant coffee packets. After careful cultivation according to the instructions, spice plants such as Basil or Parsley can be planted. In order to maximize the effectiveness of waste reduction from the source, the chieftain workshop and the Green Ranger practice the promise of a zero-waste green life in the details of the production process, from the packaging bags transporting coffee grounds to the raw materials used in flowerpots, and even the packaging bags that wrap fertilizers and seeds, can be 100% decomposed and do not pose a burden on the earth!

5% of the proceeds from the sale of "small spice potted gift boxes" will be donated to "Zero Grounds Coffee Campaign" to support the research and development of local coffee grounds and contribute to the planet.
