Clean Fridge

Dry coffee grounds can neutralize intense odors in your refrigerator. Simply allow coffee grounds to dry before placing an open container of them in your refrigerator.

Coffee grounds make for an effective and nutrient-dense substrate for mushrooms. You can use them to grow tender enoki or cultivate textured oyster mushrooms.

Tenderize Meat

Clean Pots

Coffee grounds are excellent for scraping off debris clinging to cookware. Just fill a pot or
