Can coffee grounds be used for insects and pets?

 

Woah woah woah, don’t just throw those coffee grounds away! Did you know every year in the UK we waste 500,000 tonnes of coffee grounds, it’s quite ridiculous. At MF Products we have realised that coffee grounds have many practical uses other than for cooking and drinking. Used MF Coffee grounds can be used around the home and garden and can even help spruce up your beauty routine to help ensure you look ‘fab’.

We’ve previously mentioned the way how MF Products have used coffee grounds as fertiliser for their gardens so now it’s time to speak on what else coffee can do aside from being used for consumption. Many readers aren’t going to believe this however, MF Coffee grounds can be used surprisingly for your pets too. Now I know there are many questions and queries however it’s true. Coffee grounds can indeed be used for pets and insects. How? Let’s find out!

Fleas are a shared problem in household pets and treating them can be expensive and time-consuming (trust me, we know the struggle).There are several flea-elimination products on the market, but many contain punitive chemicals and can yield unsolicited side effects. Luckily, it’s been seen by the general public that coffee grounds seem to annoy fleas to the point where they don’t like it. Another use of coffee grounds for your pet that you may want to consider is using coffee grounds as a natural treatment. Simply massage the grounds throughout your pet’s fur after shampooing. Then rinse them off and allow your pet to dry as usual. Some say doing this may also add smoothness and shine to your pet’s coat. Although, coffee grounds may be less effective than a prescription product it is much cheaper to recycle old unused coffee grounds rather than paying for actual treatment when there’s solutions here at home.

Secondly and lastly, Certain compounds found in coffee, such caffeine and diterpenes, can be extremely toxic to insects and therefore will contribute in getting rid of bugs and creepy crawlies. MF Coffee grounds are effective at deterring mosquitos, fruit flies and beetles, and they may help keep other pests away too. To use coffee grounds as an insect and pest repellent, simply set out bowls of grounds or scatter them around outdoor seating areas. You can also keep pests out of your garden by scattering coffee grounds around your plants. This sprinkling technique can help create a barrier that slugs, and snails do not like to crawl over.

In conclusion MF Coffee grounds have the ability to be reused in more suitable fashions, especially after being wasted or going slightly out of date.

Benefits of nutmeg

Good morning my MF Products Blog readers, today we’re going to be looking at the benefits of MF Nutmeg . Nutmeg is popularly known as Jatiphal and Jaiphal in India. It’s one of the oldest spices, like pepper and clove and it’s been cultivated for over 1000 years. Nutmeg is a spice made from the seed of Myristica fragrans, a tropical tree that is native to the Banda island of Indonesia but also commonly grown in the Caribbean and other tropical areas of the world such as the St John Parish in Jamaica. When it comes to the actual characteristics, the nutmeg seed is oval-shaped, about an inch long, slightly wrinkled, dark brown on the outside and light brown on the inside. For centuries nutmeg has been treasured for its flavour, aroma, and medicinal properties throughout the world.   In regard to MF Nutmegs taste, it’s something quite extraordinary.

What is an Affogato coffee?

Rise and shine my MF Products Blog readers, it’s Saturday morning and I already know some you have your music blaring and your MF Coffee brewing. There’s nothing better than a delicious cup of MF Coffee in the morning and today, we’re looking to switch things up from your typical espresso or flat white in the morning. Last week we received an email from an MF Product fan who asked for us to talk about different coffee recipes, their origin and how they’re made. We thought it was a great idea and to start us off on this series we will be talking about the Affogato Coffee. So, sit back and relax and we delve into another wonderful recipe. The affogato is a hot and cold delicacy available on many specialty coffee shop menus, as well as in restaurants. The affogato is a dessert that can be made with two core ingredients: vanilla ice cream and espresso brewed MF Coffee . Originally invented in Italy, the word “affogato” literally translates as “drowned” in English. This is humorously ...
