Used Coffee Grounds Storage Hacks You Need to Try

Spread your used coffee grounds on a baking sheet lined with newspaper, keeping the layer about 2–3 inches thick. This helps them dry faster and prevents mold. Place the tray outside in the sun for 2-3 days, or on a sunny windowsill if you can’t go outdoors. Rotate the grounds and change the newspaper daily for even drying. If you’re short on time, preheat your oven to 200°F and bake the grounds for 20-30 minutes, flipping every 10 minutes until totally dry. Once cooled, pack the dried grounds into a clean, airtight container—mason jars work great. Fill it up to minimize air contact. Toss a strip of newspaper on top before sealing, then stash your container in a cool, dry spot. Check every couple of months to swap out the newspaper and make sure everything’s still dry. #CoffeeGrounds #SustainableLiving #GardeningTips #Food #Cooking
