3 creative ways to repurpose your used coffee grounds

This episode of Kitchen Hacks is brought to you by Toyota bZ4X.

Instead of throwing out your used coffee grounds, you can try repurposing them into something useful. In this episode of ITK: Kitchen Hacks, we show you three simple hacks that turn waste into coffee-flavored treats, homemade beauty products or DIY cleaners. Think again before you toss out coffee grounds!

Coffee Grounds Hack 1: Make whipped coffee cream

Pour heavy cream over leftover coffee grounds in a French press. Then, press the top down and refrigerate for 30 to 60 minutes. Add powdered sugar to the coffee-infused cream, and whip with an electric hand mixer until it’s light and fluffy. Use the whipped coffee cream to top iced coffee drinks for a sweet treat.

Coffee Grounds Hack 2: Make DIY coffee eye cream

Melt 3 tablespoons of coconut oil in a pan over medium heat, then add 2 tablespoons of almond oil and 4 tablespoons of used coffee grounds. Stir it all together, then let the mixture simmer for 30 minutes. Strain the mixture into a bowl, then add 2 more tablespoons of coconut oil. Stir to combine, then pour the mixture into jars and let it cool completely. Use the cream to combat under-eye circles!

Coffee Grounds Hack 3: Use coffee grounds to scrub dirty dishes

Get rid of stains or stuck-on grease by putting used coffee grounds onto dirty dishes and using a sponge to scour away the mess. Your dishes will look good as new!
