How to Make Use of Stale Coffee or Used Coffee, Coffee Bean or Coffee Ground Powder

If you find some stale coffee in your drawer, coffee beans or ground powder, or perhaps you have some used coffee after last night brew, just remember to never throw away of it, there are some uses of the coffee that may be of benefit for you.

Stale Coffee Use # 1 : Plant fertilizer
Mix the coffee ground (if it is coffee bean, it would be better to crush it to chunks first) with the soil in your plants pots. The coffee will act as a very good compost fertilizer for the soil, adding some balance to the acidity level that would be of benefit to your plants.

Stale Coffee Use # 2 : Ingredients for your frozen mocha latte
Cool the coffee ground / powder first (coffee bean should be ground first), and then mix two cups of the coffee powder with a pint of any flavor of your favorite ice cream, with approximately a tablespoon of sugar and a table spoon of cocoa powder (less or more to suit your taste). Afterwards, freeze the mix coffee latte in beverage containers, and whenever after the coffee latte has frozen, take the coffee latte out to be drank when it's already slushy.

Stale Coffee Use # 3 : Furnishing furnitures
The coffee can be used as a filler for any scratch on your wooden furniture. Apply some of it, cold, on the scratch mark with a cotton swab.

Stale Coffee Use # 4 : Helps to clean fire place
Before shoveling out the ashes in the fireplace, distribute some of the coffee ground, ample enough to prevent dust to fly.

Stale Coffee Use # 5 : Create a parchment like paper
Soak up any plain white paper in a bowl of cold coffee, and then afterwards dry it up in a room temperature, let the breeze do the drying, and voila! you have a faux parchment paper.

Stale Coffee Use # 6 : Dye some fabric
Soak up any white fabric you like to some of the liquid coffee for a moment to get a unique classic look on the fabric.

Stale Coffee Use # 7 : Odor eliminator
Have a little bowl of some coffee powder at your kitchen sink. The coffee is good to get rid of any bad odor on your hands after handling some smelly food such as onion, garlic, or any sea food. Grab some amount of the coffee powder in your hand, and with some soap, rub them all on your hands.

Stale Coffee Use # 8 : Repellent for plant or anything against ants, insects, snails, or slugs
Sprinkle some coffee ground powder in any area where the creatures are. The scent of the coffee powder will prevent them from coming anymore.

Stale Coffee Use # 9 : Dietary supplement
The coffee may not taste so bad, but the coffee can be a dietary supplement as it has a lot of fibers. Just mix the coffee powder with any of your favorite ice cream or frozen yogurt.

Stale Coffee Use # 10 : Cellulite treatment
As it is a lead ingredient in any cellulite treatment, you can just rub the coffee grount to any cellulite are in your body before taking a bath.

You can put a small amount of the coffee, in a bowl or pack it in unused fabric, and put it at the back of your refrigerator.
