I love my French Press, but it's left me with tons of used coffee grounds. I grind my own coffee, so these grounds can be pretty coarse. Since it's winter and I don't want to open my outdoor compost bin, I'm left to find other uses for these grounds.
So far, I've made an invigorating exfoliating and moisturing scrub and an air freshener.
The scrub consists of coarse coffee grounds, a tiny bit of olive oil (for moisture), water, and a tiny bit of brown sugar. It works great! Plus, you start your day smelling like coffee.
The air freshener is some grounds in a nylon knee high (I tied it, wrapped it around the grounds, tied it, and repeated a couple times to ensure there's no leakage!) with a few drops of vanilla. My wife keeps it in her car since her work uses cleaning products that smell like very, very strong vinegar.
