Is it possible to use coffee ground in gardening?

Hello MF Products Blog readers, today we’re going to be looking at coffee’s uses but on a very different level. Usually we talk about its uses for edible purposes however today will be a little bit different. Today we will be looking at coffees external uses, in the field of gardening. The MF Team are always thinking of ways we can use coffee and an article came about that suggested coffee could be used for gardening. We all laughed and called it ridiculous but after some extensive research, it became apparent that maybe coffee can actually be used for gardening. Here’s what we found out.

Composting with coffee is an excellent way to make use of something that would otherwise end up taking up space in a landfill. Composting coffee grounds helps to add nitrogen to your compost pile. Composting coffee grounds is as easy as throwing the used coffee grounds onto your compost pile. Used coffee filters can be composted as well. The simplicity of just using old coffee grounds (after buying a new pack of MF Coffee from our website) is quite blissful.

Next up is using coffee grounds as fertiliser. Used MF Coffee grounds for gardening does not have to end with compost. Many people choose to place coffee grounds straight onto the soil and use it as a fertilizer. The thing to keep in mind is that while coffee grounds add nitrogen to your compost, they will not immediately add nitrogen to your soil. Apart from that, there’s nothing to worry about.


The benefit of using coffee grounds as a fertilizer is that it adds organic material to the soil, which progresses its drainage, water retention and aeration in the soil. The used coffee grounds will also be beneficial for microorganisms in regard to plant growth so that it can thrive as well as attract earthworms. Many people feel that coffee grounds raise the acid levels of soil, which is good for acid loving plants. But this is only true for unwashed coffee grounds. “Fresh coffee grounds are acidic. Used coffee grounds are neutral.” If you rinse your used coffee grounds then they will have a near neutral pH of 6.5 and will not affect the acid levels of the soil. To use coffee grounds as fertilizer, work the coffee grounds into the soil around your plants. Leftover diluted coffee works well like this too.

And that’s the two ways leftover MF Coffee can be used to improve your garden. In the use of compost and in the ways of fertilisation.

Does coffee help with headaches?

Good evening everyone, its another blog by MF Products and today we’re going to be looking at something slightly different. Today, the MF Products Team was riddled with headaches and someone asked “I wonder if there’s a drink that could resolve this pain” which got us thinking. Since coffee, especially MF Coffee (which is available to purchase now), has so many benefits maybe there’s a chance it can cure headaches too. Here’s what we found. We realised that when your head hurts or aches, people generally want a fast relief as the pain can be tedious. Caffeine is usually found in many painkillers and has statistically shown them to be 40% more effective with caffeine as opposed to without it. Actually, there are reports that the consumption of caffeine has even stopped the pain directly after. Which begs the question, could MF Coffee resolve your headache?
