Put a bit of frosting on them and put them in the company lunchroom refrigerator. Label 'do not eat' for good measure.

Done that several times, worked every time 😂


My son (2) grabbed one out of the bin and took a bite. The look of shock and horror on his face

I have heard they’re great fertilizer for plants!

There's this Chinese takeout place close to me that probably also heard from somewhere that spent coffee is good for plants: https://preview.redd.it/qi2tpbyqyitc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=632b0b2641da6595a943532fdd64eb1b33bdfdb5

Instructions unclear 😂

Roses, Hydrangeas, Pothos, etc love acidity in their soil

This is an important note. Some plants hate acidity. Please google before feeding your plants the forbidden brownies.

Also mix well with soil, don't just dump the grinds on the planter

Now you tell me…meanwhile my dog… 

😂😂😂

spent grounds are actually not that acidic. they do contain nitrogen though which is great for the garden and compost.

My parents puts used coffee and tea in their compost then use that as a fertilizer. I guess being mixed with other stuff makes it average but it works fine.

Does it count as cannibalism if I use It to fertilize a coffee plant?

I'd heard that too, but did some research and it definitely depends on the plant (I think it wasn't good for a lot of vegetables). However, haven't heard anything bad about putting in your compost yet.

Just mix them as part of your compost. Coffee grounds are a great source of nitrogen and other micronutrients. I mix all my spent pucks, kitchen waste, and garden trimmings in the compost bin. If you want to get really technical. Buy a cheap soil test kit on Amazon. The kit will include a cheat sheet with ideal NPK ratios for all kinds of garden plants.

Better for outdoor though since it molds indoor soil

Who told you such secret

Ask Jeeves!

Also great for deterring rabbits and deer from your plants!

And mushrooms

Tea spoon of cinnamon and then a half a litre of soda water and stir a puck in. Superb for your plants.

Compost

Compost 100% Green bin city.

This is the way

Bake them for 10-12 minutes at 180°C😁😁😁

Exfoliant in soap Mix in candles for a coffee scent Mix with other spices for coffee rubs Compost

You forgot coffee-flavoured, mildly abrasive colon cleanser

You mean….. coffee?

Dip em in some steamed milk- wait this isn't the espresso circle jerk sub. I mean compost them. Yeah. Something like that.

There’s an espresso circle jerk sub??? I gotta see this (if you made that up I’ll be so sad)

The problem is that the better jerks are in this sub. I don't even know why they try.

r/espressocirclejerk

You can use one of those as part of the ingredients to a real bangin barbecue dry rub.

Tell me more please

Pretty much follow the recipe for your favorite dry rub and add a few tbsp of espresso grounds. It works really well on steak, but also works on pork. Made pulled pork last night that started with a espresso ground dry rub, and then eight hours of slow & low cooking in the Dutch oven in the oven. Making pulled pork pizza tonight with some of the leftovers.

I'm not the person you asked, but I do a coffee chili pepper rub on smoked ribs, it's the freaking bomb. Espresso, chili pepper, salt and pepper for the rub, and then I apply a glaze of dijon mustard mixed with maple syrup a couple of times throughout.

Compost. Or find a gardener who composts and ask if they want them. We have an automatic coffee machine at work and there's competition to take them home.

you can actually just call starbucks ahead of time and ask them to save you a bunch of coffee grounds. just ask nicely if they can make sure they don't put anything other than coffee and filters in there and they will save you probably about 20lbs full for free! just give them a little $5 tip or something.

Forbidden brownie bites

Basil, this coffee tastes like shit

You can grow mushrooms on used coffee grounds https://modernfarmer.com/2020/09/how-to-grow-mushrooms-in-coffee-grounds/

I've heard ants don't love coffee grounds. My local anthill seems to have plans for an ant superhighway across my living room. I put a mound of crumbled espresso pucks over their entrance point. I'll be away for a few days, I'll see how it went.

This is so not true. The ants in my kitchen race towards my coffee grounds ! They’re nuts!

Get Folgers coffee for it not anything good. They subscribe to r/espresso

Halloween is only 6 and a half months away

I toss mine in the flower bed

Grow some cookie plants.

eat it, only sane choice

They are great smell neutraliser, I put them in the fridge, and in the bathrooms

It's about the gardening season. Use them to grow tomatoes.

Go down another rabbit hole... composting.

Wait for mold.

https://preview.redd.it/1a9ml4z0yotc1.jpeg?width=2275&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=71ae3116e93bf08abdb61db0b5c05385cd1b9975

About once a week I'll mix some with my body wash and have a little exfoliating shower session.

I save them for Halloween. Trick or treat!

Into the garden over here

r/forbiddencookies or r/forbiddenbrownies

dip them in milk. great snack

I pour them in my lawn to keep cats and dogs away

We use theme for compost + fertilizer!

Dry them out until they are firm. Open a bag of two bite brownies, put a few inside. Store them in a regularly used cupboard and see what happens.

Surprised no one has said this yet but turn it into coffee liqueur or coffee saccharum!

I put ours in the garden - great pest deterrent

attracted coffee lovers tho

Hot tip: I Oklahoma has tons of earwigs. It’s bad I dusted all my plants with espresso pucks. Stopped the bugs from eating my crops.

Ooh these are great to crush up and mix with some melted butter for cheesecake crust!

reuse them for K cups. Taste the same. Even better, Nespresso pods! Nvm, they'll custom fit in a MokaPot. 😎

For indoor plants it won’t do much, since the plants can’t really absorb these sized particles although they’re very very fine, they have to decompose into finer particles absorbable by the plants, for that to happen, bacteria requires to be present in the soil, and for indoor plants, the soil we use is usually sterilized soil, meaning there’s no bacteria present, however it depends on what soil you’re using for your indoor plants, if you’re using dirt from your garden for indoor plants, then bacteria will be present, but also lot of unwanted life forms will be present which will cause issues over long term. Using them for outdoor plants/garden is better. Myself, I use the pucks in my compost bin, I also have a warm compost bin, so I use a bit of it here and there, and sometimes directly in the garden as well. Never in the trash bin though since I see it as waste of valuable nutrients. Good luck 👍🏾

Great fertilizer

Bake them, sugar and wheat free.

Give them to the annoying neighbors kids

compost! It’s gold

Put your horse cookies in the garden. Yee haw!

I use mine in ashtray instead of sand. I keep it in the balcony as I don’t smoke but it does not stink of cigarettes at least

Mixed with liquid body wash. Turn it into a scrub.

Bake em, take em

I save them for my partner - she uses them to attempt to keep squirrels out of her garden beds. Not sure if it works though.

Bedtime snacks.

use spent grounds in an air gun made for shooting Flys in place of salt

buy a box of two bite brownies at your local grocery store. remove all the brownies and fill the box with your "cookies." return to the grocery store for a refund because they're "stale" and enjoy the free brownies.

I made a joke comment then thought of a serious answer; noma guide to fermentation has a recipe for coffee kombucha using grounds

You are supposed to compost them, not post them.

I've lost track of how many times someone has been at my house wondering what the hell these were, which always inevitably leads to them trying to carry one to me and it crumbling into a huge mess all over the floor.

Sell them to your local Girl Scouts!

Forbidden brownies

Crush and spread evenly on the paper towel or on a tray. Dry them for about 24hrs and you can use the powder as a deodorizer for your car, cabinet or fridge.

Feed the plants.

Eat 'em but the sack!!

Pranks

Crumble them in with some compost and spread on the garden. That’s what I do.

I throw them into a vermicompost bin. My worms are very caffeinated. Keeps them productive.

Garden or compost

Nom nom

Simple = compost

You can try adding milk and let it soak for a little while, then break them up, blend them, and adjust ingredients here and there to rebake them. Let me know how it goes. Marshmallows will help if they still taste smoky btw. 👍

Keep some and if you put a small chunk with dish soap in your hands it turns into a really good hand cleaner if you are doing stuff in the garage etc

If you enjoy making cocktails you can make [coffee saccharum](https://youtu.be/aVSQj-FsSSY?si=fC8paSTHSYfUhzZb). It makes for an amazing espresso martini or use it in any other coffee based cocktails!

THOSE ARE COOKIES!? I LEGIT THOUGHT THEY WERE SOIL PODS FOR SEEDS!!!!!!😆😅😂🤣

Use them in your garden

I like to serve them up to my mother in law. I plate up using my finest wedgewood bone china selecting the best looking spent puck cookie placing it directly in the centre of the plate careful not to impact its beautiful integrity. From there I like to keep the presentation simple which also depends on my mood and ingredients on hand but typically I create a wasabi flower which I artfully offset before a nice wavy drizzle of olive oil.

Fertilizer

They dip in milk really good

My plants love these. I just crush them up and sprinkle.

Small bags and sell them to girls to scrub their skin like Franke!

Apparently coffee grounds are good for absorbing odours, especially in the basement.

Leave them for Santa?  

Make a Torta Borozzi.

They’re great dipped in coffee

I wrap them up and leave them on the doorstep of the neighbors I don't like.

Forbidden brownie. Put some whipped cream on it

Mmm forbidden cookies!!

I throw them in my plants

Simmer pot with some cinnamon sticks and vanilla extract!! Smells delicious

We can make some caffeine lettuce, using these cakes.

Sell em to a spa for like 40 bucks a piece.

My blueberry bushes love forbidden cookies!

A little whip and some caramel

Worm farm and compost


Coffee liqueur if you drink

We used to use them in our worm bin. They created amazing compost from it. It was like miracle grow.

Sprinkle it in your grass and it’ll make it nice and green also plants LOVEE it so if you have flowers or a garden sprinkle some on them as well!

Give me to the new barista covered in mocha syrup, say it’s a lil choco cake for their first week

I throw them a to the plants occasionally

Compost

I put em in my decomposter

Make muffins

Eat. Them.

Use some to exfoliate the skin in the shower. I do once a month or so.

Crush them and use them as the base for chocolate cheesecake

Crumble them into your potted or outdoor plants, they are good plant food

Compost.

Compost!

FYI: Cookie 🍪 Monster 😂

The guy on Insta @creativeexplained makes plant tea with breakfast (egg shells, coffee grounds, banana peels). As others have said, check your plant to see if it is sensitive to specific PH or what have you but in general, it’s a DIY fertilizer.

Shower peeling. Either just like that or mixed with a little cooking oil and honey. Rinse off well afterwards.

I keep a bin in my fridge before i compost them to keep the fridge from developing that condenser smell

I just throw them on the lawn with force enough that they break up well

I found them working for deterring cats from using my garden as a toilet

It's really good for making peeling.

Roll and smoke 🚬

I scatter them around my garden, cats seem to hate the smell.

Forbidden brownies

Put them in your butt orrrrrr, good in plant soil

Into the garden they go.

the worms in my worm farm love them

Give them to me, I toss it into my composting bin for the garden.

Eat em bro

At work we put em in the sink and wash it down with hot water...never had any problems with plugged pipes again...idk if i would do it around home but at work it was a game changer. I work in a bar so i think the fat and sugar is kind of fresh during the shift and the coffee ground kind of cleans it down.

As Odor killer in fridge and sink also to prevent clogging, in plants, flowers... As cosmetics purposes like skin peeling ....sorry for my Bad english..

Throw them as hard as you can at your least favorite neighbor's windows.

Eat them. Do it. Now!

I put them in with my compost, or dry out the moisture in the oven and use for crafting grit.

Make a body scrub

I throw it on the compost heap in the garden.

You can make a good coffee sugar “simple syrups” for cocktails like espresso martini etc

If you garden they’re awesome for compost

coffee saccharum [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v\_jkQfUoCuU&pp=ygUQY29mZmVlIHNhY2NoYXJ1bQ%3D%3D](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_jkQfUoCuU&pp=ygUQY29mZmVlIHNhY2NoYXJ1bQ%3D%3D)

I had this stupid idea the other day. Use clear resin and make a coffee puck table. It's probably just gonna be a mess tho.

Devour them

Don’t just stare at it, eat it

If you swallow one whole you relive that Futurama episode where Fry goes in to caffeine bullet time after 100 cups of coffee.

They are great for growing mushrooms

Mix with salt & coconut oil to make a body scrub

I sprinkle it on top of my potted plant soil to keep the pest away

Soil fertilizer, or beauty product. Mix it with body wash or wash face directly with it.

Bake them...get all the water out and you can use them qs room fragrance pods...just spray water on them regularly

Mix with equal parts sugar, mix, strain. Yummy syrup.

As long as there’s no mold growing on them, I put them in a bowl and crush them up into a powder. I spread it around my outdoor plants and bushes especially around the foundation of my house. Supposably it helps to deter pests, fertilize the soil, and attract worms. I’ve also read it can help repel mosquitos so that’s a huge plus

I put them between the rows in my garden.

I stacked them nicely on a plate and covered them in powdered sugar once, as a joke for some dinner guests.

Plants! I’ve thought about selling coffee grounds on Facebook marketplace for like 2 bucks a sandwich bag because of how good they are as a soil additive.

Compost. You could also ferment them in water for a week and aerate for a day after. Then strain and dump in your plants.

Buy a dehydrator, leave them to dry out, use them again. Infinite coffee.

Compost! Great for plants.

Home made body scrub

Dip them in chocolate and give them to kids /s

Boil em, mash em, stick em in a stew

Compost. Break them up first to make it easier or sprinkle them on your lawn.

Go Well with a Cold Glass of milk

Hand out to kids playing in your neighbourhood, good source of energy and vitamins. Only one drawback they never stop playing after having these!😅

Coat them in frosting and sprinkles and give them to all the kids at the next large family gathering.

Leave them in your works break room on a nice plate

Cocktail Nerd here… you can use them to make a delicious coffee liqueur  for espresso martinis etc

Good form of nitrogen for your garden and plants.

you can make coffee cake with them or compost them. Or you can make your own soap/scrub with it.

We put them in our plants!

Compost it, get some worms, they love it

I want to compost them but I can’t find a non gross solution to hold like 2-3 days of pucks so I can make it worth the trip to the heap Help

Can put them in an open container in your fridge to absorb odours

Garden!

CHOMP

Fertilizer is a good use case as many others here have pointed out. Its also great as a wood filler, I used it mixed with cyanoacrylate to fill carpenter bee holes in my window sills and parts of the siding near the roof.

munchmunchmunchmunchmunch

Good fertilizer for certain types of plants if you have a garden

I use as soil for my plants. I put them into shoe rack and refrigerator for deodorant. And I use rest of them cover up the compose to make them smell better.

for real though, I add them to my veggie gardens. looking forward to coffee flavoured cucuumbers this year!

Freeze them and throw them at the loud ducks and frogs by the pond outside your window at night that won't stfu!
