5 INVENTIVE WAYS TO REPURPOSE YOUR GROUNDS

This Earth Month, turn coffee waste into something special.
by Arielle Rebekah | April 15, 2024
Coffee 101

We’re all here because we love coffee. Maybe it’s the smell, or the taste, or
maybe you’re one of those purely utilitarian coffee drinkers who sips your
morning cup purely to feel that euphoric wave of liquid energy flowing through
your veins. No matter why you drink coffee, there’s one thing we all surely
hate: waste.

Waste?! In this economy? Regrettably, the coffee supply chain produces no
shortage of waste products, from cascara (the fruit of the coffee cherry) to the
grounds many of us dump in the trash after our morning brew, you’re surely
wondering whether there’s a better way. I’m here to reassure you that, by golly,
there is! Enjoy this brief list of mighty fun ways to repurpose your personal
coffee waste products instead of… gulp… sending them to sit in a landfill for
like 1,000 years or something wild like that.


IDEA #1: UPCYCLE YOUR NONRECYCLABLE COFFEE BAGS

To start, did you know that a steadily increasing number of coffee companies are
packaging coffee using recyclable materials? While you can absolutely upcycle
these as well, it’s helpful to know which packaging materials have a built-in
second life so you can prioritize giving your nonrecyclable packaging the new
adventure it deserves.

Coffee bag artwork has improved by leaps and bounds in recent years, making
empty bags the perfect candidate for your next art display. If you save up your
empty bags for a few months, you can flatten them, lay them out beautifully
inside a large frame, and hang them on your wall. Pro-tip: we recommend taping
the back of the bags to the inside of the frame so they don’t shift around after
hanging.

For all you plant lovers out there, coffee bags can also serve as DIY planters.
As many of us are aware (or some of us are just now learning), decorative
planters can be wildly pricy. Luckily, you can use your empty bags as a stand-in
for smaller plants. Just cut off the top, fill it with some dirt and your plant
of choice, and you’re good to go.


IDEA #2: ADD SOME NEW SMELLS TO YOUR BATH TIME

We know you love the smell of coffee. Have you ever sat and worked at a table in
your local café, and someone afterwards told you your hair smelled like coffee?
Well, imagine making your hair smell like coffee on purpose.

Turns out, using coffee in your hair could have a ton of benefits. From
restoring growth, to making your luscious locks even more shiny and lustrous,
adding coffee to your hair-care routine is a game-changer. This one is great for
those days when there’s an unfortunate volume of tepid leftover coffee in your
pot, since many coffee rinse recipes call for brewed coffee.

In addition to hair needs, many of us are plagued with the curse of dead skin.
Did you know that coffee can help? Used coffee grounds are a great exfoliator on
their own, and if you want to get fancy, you can also turn them into a soap
scrub that will clean your body while gently removing dead skin cells. Next time
you brew a cup of coffee, add the leftover grounds to a soap scrub. Your
miraculously smooth, baby-soft skin will thank you!

And who doesn’t love a scented candle? Manifest your dream of having a home that
smells like that morning pot of coffee all day long by combining your used
coffee grounds with melted wax, a wick, and any other scents you wish to add.

The list goes on and on. Both coffee grounds and leftover brewed coffees have an
abundance of purported beauty uses, including vanquishing of puffy eyes,
brightening your skin, tinting your hair, and more. Next time you think about
dumping coffee waste, remember that you’re pouring free beauty supplies down the
drain and think again. Phew, crisis averted!


IDEA #3: UP YOUR CRAFTS GAME

Coffee can be used for all sorts of crafty purposes.

To start, both used coffee grounds and leftover brewed coffee can be used to
paint beautiful, monochrome artwork. Next time you find yourself with leftover
coffee in the pot, whip out a paint brush and canvas and let your inner Van Gogh
flourish. If using coffee grounds, you’ll want to mix them with water to make a
paint-like solution. Some recipes encourage you to create multiple solutions of
varying concentrations, thus yielding multiple shades of brown.

You may be shocked to learn you can also turn used coffee grounds into non-toxic
clay by adding a few extra common pantry items. Simply mix these ingredients
together and create beautiful little trinkets or sculptures to add to your home
décor. While it will eventually dry and lock into shape, you can give it a
longer shelf life by storing it in a sealed container in the fridge.

If you have kids (or simply wish to unleash your inner child – no judgment!), a
variation of this clay recipe will yield semi-realistic dinosaur fossils… Okay,
they’re not that realistic, but still fun and the dinos aren’t here to complain!


IDEA #4: GROUNDS FOR YOUR GARDEN

There is a lot of fun debate about the use of grounds in your garden. Some folks
argue that the acidity of coffee will raise your soil pH, which is displeasing
to all those persnickety plants that thrive in lower acidity. They maintain that
while your root vegetables, blueberries, and azaleas will thank you for your
kindness, you’ll want to do some research about the specific needs of your crops
before messing with their sweet little microbiome. Others argue that this is
only true if using dry coffee grounds, and that used coffee grounds are actually
pretty pH neutral—particularly if you give them an extra rinse before adding to
your compost pile.

Using coffee grounds as fertilizer requires a little bit of science know-how,
but it’s easy enough to learn. Coffee grounds are easily compostable, as are
many coffee filters. Grounds add extra nitrogen and caffeine molecules to your
compost, both of which are delicacies to many of your favorite plants. However,
coffee grounds are considered a green compost material and should always be
combined with brown compost material in order to create a balanced pile. When
worked into the dirt around your plants, grounds act as fertilizer, adding
organic material to the soil which “improves drainage, water retention, and
aeration.” As an added bonus, earthworms love it, which aids your soil health
further.

Grounds have several other rumored benefits to your garden, such as repelling
slugs, snails, and cats, and acting as mulch.


IDEA #5: ADD SOME FLAIR TO YOUR FOOD

We’re all so used to drinking coffee, perhaps we’ve never considered what a
tasty addition it makes to certain foods.

Coffee rubs can be used to add a delectable coffee flavor to meats and vegan
foods alike, such as this Coffee Chili-Rubbed Tofu and these easy Coffee-Rubbed
Black Bean Beet Burgers.

When added into desserts, coffee adds a bit of an espresso-y kick that provides
balance to sweetness and particularly highlights chocolatey flavors, like these
Vegan Cashew Espresso Truffles.

The bottom line: there are many uses to often-discarded coffee waste products.
While many of us recognize the value in being more eco-friendly, it isn’t always
intuitive or fun. By adding some excitement into environmentally conscious
practices, it becomes easier to stay engaged and eager to take new steps in the
right direction.

While creating second lives for coffee products is one way to do this, please be
encouraged to explore this idea further as you work to reduce your carbon
footprint and be generally kinder to our planet.
