Your Daily Roast: Coffee Drips

Coffee, nowadays, is more than just a simple beverage— it already “runs in the blood” typa thing. Looking back when I was once started being addicted into drinking coffee, I can already compare how broad and diverse is coffee in our world today.

In this blog, you will surely be encouraged and love to try the so-called “coffee drips” that have been eco-friendly and very familiar today.

Welcome to our coffee-convo, there’s no turning back.

While there are a lot of coffee shops, coffee makers, and coffee machines that could make your life easier; you shouldn’t forget that a coffee that has a filter still exists. Making your coffee in old-fashioned way makes it more exciting, isn’t? Coffee drips to the rescue!

What is Coffee drips?

When contrasted to other coffee beverages, coffee drips has the advantages of just being simpler to prepare and being able to create big volumes at once. The same health advantages associated with other types of coffee, such as an energy associated and a lower risk of disease, are also provided by coffee drips. Drip coffee sometimes lacks the rich taste of pour over coffee. The coffee has a rich, good taste that is simple but smooth and flavorful that can surely makes you want it more. Although, there are a lot of espresso machines coming out, you still want to consider having a coffee drips. I swear, it was life changing. As I was saying, it feels like you are making coffee in old-fashioned way. If you cannot imagine what a coffee drip looks like, I would to describe it to you. Gotchu, coffee lover! Imagine a coffee filter that has coffee grounds inside it. The filter itself turned into a filter bag, wherein you will just put it at the top of your favorite cup using the paper hanger on the packaging. Tear the upper part of the filter bag, and put the paper hanger onto the cup, slowly pour hot water into the filter, and remove or discard the used coffee filter.

You want a coffee on-the-go? Coffee drip to the rescue! You do not need any coffee machine, coffee maker, or whatsoever. Just a simple tear, pour, mix, and serve, a need of 100 ml hot water is enough to satisfy your coffee cravings. Easy as 1, 2, and 3!

“Is there any way I can recycle my coffee drips?” I got you, ladies and gentlemen! It turns out that the enjoyment of coffee really shouldn’t stop with the last sip from your mug. Those used coffee grounds have the power to encore. They just don’t stop being useful!

Bug, fleas, snails, and ants problems? Repel those pests! They do not like the acids and aromas coming from the coffee even if it is already used to brew or nah.

Ran out of body scrubs? Coffee can be a temporarily great exfoliator!

Want to enrich your garden? Plants benefit greatly from the addition of used coffee grounds. Since it is extremely nitrogen-rich, or what the gardening community/the “plant-titas” refers them as “green.” Worms prefer nitrogen-rich soil, so putting coffee grounds to your soils or compost bin boosts the odds that they will remain there. But be careful in boosting your soil! Too much can damage it.

Last tip that I could give you, if you just want your home, bedroom, or comfort room to just smell like coffee, do it! Deodorize everything! You can just simply put these grounds into a small jar and there you go! Fresh smelling coffee around the area.

There are still many ways on how grounds can be useful at home, these are just the ones that I think would be most helpful. Coffee drips are environmental friendly, we luv that! #SavetheEarth

Giving a coffee drip a try would not be a waste of time. It was life changing (coming from a person who loves to make her coffee from a machine) believe me! Ready when you are. Hoping you’ll get to try it soon too.

‘til our next coffee catch-up, coffee lover!

Much love.
