Coffee, the magical elixir that wakes us up every morning, can be used for other purposes besides food. Here are a few of them.
Using coffee will enrich the quality of compost needed for plants in the garden. Coffee is an excellent fertilizer, especially for plants that love acidic soil such as roses or azaleas. Dose carefully!
Coffee or the grounds obtained after brewing it can help you keep animals away from your garden. You can mix it with orange peel to be sure of the effect. This will keep cats away, who like to poke their noses among vegetables.
Scent your home with freshly ground coffee beans. Use a pair of old pantyhose (cut them to obtain a material of appropriate length) in which you place an amount of coffee suitable for the size of the material. You can use it both for the room and in the refrigerator to keep unpleasant odors away.
Did you know that you can marinate meat with coffee? Try it for a unique taste. Add a little coffee to your usual spice mix and leave it in the fridge for a few hours.
When you go to test perfumes in a store, you will notice that at some point the perfumes will start to smell all the same. Inhale the aroma of coffee beans to "cleanse" your sense of smell.
If you want to give a stronger color to an untreated wood piece, you can do it using coffee. Use a strong coffee in aroma and darker in color; prepare the coffee and then apply the grounds with a brush directly onto the material.
Coffee grounds will help you clean dishes that need abrasive force. Apply to the dirty pan or pot and scrub well as if you were using an abrasive sponge. The effect will be similar.
