Get free used coffee grounds at your College café

Posted 1 year ago

Reuse at home for plant food, body scrubs and more! ☕️

Did you know your daily caffeine fix can keep being useful long after your mug is empty?

Through our Ground to Ground Coffee initiative, you can pick up a free bag of used Extract Coffee Roasters 'Rocket' coffee grounds - our house espresso - from any of our cafés and repurpose them at home. 

It's a simple, zero-waste habit that's great for your room, your skin and the planet. Find out how you can repurpose UAL coffee grounds: 

🪴 Feed your plants: Dry them out and sprinkle onto soil every months for a natural nutrient boost. 

🧽 Clean your cookware: The coarse texture makes grounds a great chemical-free scourer for stubborn pots, pans and sinks. 

🫧 Neutralise odours: Place a small bowl in your fridge, tuck a sock filled with dried grounds into smelly gym shoes or scrub your hands after chopping onions and garlic. 

😌 Glow up your skin: Mix grounds with coconut oil for a natural body scrub, or a bit of honey for an easy lip exfoliator. 

🎨 Feeling crafty? Use grounds to create DIY coffee candles or textured paint for your next project: 

If you don't find our coffee ground bags on the café shelves or counter, simply ask a member of staff to make one for you!
