Can MF Coffee Grounds be used as fuel for cars?

 

Good evening to all the MF Products supporters, today is going to be a very different blog as we touch on a peculiar use of coffee. Over the months we’ve looked at a variety of ways in which coffee can be utilised. We’ve seen how it can be used for fertiliser, for your skin and even your hair! Today is going to blow your mind however it turns out coffee grounds can be used as an alternative fuel for your car.

Studies have shown that coffee grounds hold within them special oils that can be used as a source of fuel. It’s been said that the oil is similar to corn and soybean oil. Lately, researchers at Lancaster University have been studying this process, working to make it simpler and less pricey. Their improved approach takes roughly 10 minutes and can be completed without the use of harmful, stripping chemicals – adding to its eco-friendly appeal. This is interesting use as it means that we (as a society) are closer to using used products for a better purpose.



The average American drinks 3.1 cups of coffee a day and only consume 80% of each cup. Scientists and analysts have hypothesised that with that spare 20%, the wasted ground could be put to good use for this alternative fuel method. It’s said that 720,000 metric tons of bio-diesel fuel could be produced with the oils from the coffee grounds.

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.
