Hello, Guess it’s not actually a new answer, when I got here I saw a similar one. But yes, my grandmother would always go outside and dump them in her plants and flower beds. (Inside plants too, if they don’t keep you awake at night LOL!) She said it makes for good fertilizer.

Yes, actually the grounds are good for outdoor plants of any kind so just dump them around your plant and cover with mulch or something if you don’t like to look at the coffee grounds.

Cold coffee actually makes a great brown gravy for red meat. Next time you cook a roast, pour cold coffe instead of water over the roast and the veggies….it will amaze you!

You can use coffee in recipes for brownies. I will use regular brownie mix and instead of water I add coffee. I also add some semisweet chocolate chips. It is so good!
You can use the grounds for your plants. In fact, starbucks gives away used grounds for the purpose of use in gardens.

If you mix the grounds with some oil, it makes a great exfoliater for your body. The oil moisturizes and the caffeine tightens the skin. Dont use it on your face though.

My husband smokes. We use the grinds in his ashtrays. They don’t smell bad that way.
