We all know that coffee beans are used to make coffee. You roast beans, grind them up, run hot water through them, and voila, coffee. Unbeknownst to a lot of people, coffee beans (even the used up wet ones) have a bunch of other uses! Get the most bang for your buck by maximizing the usage of your coffee beans in these other ways:
Pest Control
We can all agree that mosquitoes and roaches are nasty and are not our friends. Unfortunately, their desire to hang around near us is inversely related to our hatred for them. In addition to the primal fear and discomfort that we feel when we see them, they bring a whole host of health problems including malaria, dengue, and whatever bacteria roaches carry with them when they’re having a party in the sewage system. On the plus side, they hate the smell of coffee, so just place some ground up beans in the areas that these buggers frequent, and watch them disappear!
Wake the Plants Up
People and animals aren’t the only creatures who benefit from consuming coffee. Plants also get an added boost of nutrition when coffee gets mixed into their soil. Coffee contains a lot of nitrogen (in addition to other nutrients) that helps to create stronger roots. This can lead to increasing the soil’s water retention, ergo, more water for your plant, resulting in a healthier plant.
Time For a Glow Up
It turns out that coffee grounds when mixed with stuff like water or coconut oil, can act as a pretty good exfoliant. Use this exfoliant on your face so you feel fresh and LOOK awake. Energy on the inside, beauty on the outside, what more could you want?
When it comes to versatility, coffee beans have it all; and when it comes to quality, Equipoise Coffee’s beans are second to none. Create your perfect blend from our selection of arabica beans and then some!
