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.

How to make the MF Soursop smoothie.

  Good evening MF Blog readers, we hope you all are staying active during this cold Christmas season. As the year draws to a close, MF Products still have a variety of tasty recipes to broadcast and this week we will be looking at how we can use our MF Soursop to make some delightful treats. Today we will be making our very own MF Soursop smoothie with bananas and almonds. We chose bananas due it’s alpha and beta carotene content when consumed by the body, this then turns in vitamin A. Bananas are also a good source of potassium and due to its low water content, it contains more calories and is more filling. This pairs wonderfully with the benefits of soursop (previously mentioned in another blog) as it; possesses antioxidants, fights against bacteria, and boosts the immune system. Almonds are also very beneficial as they contain unsaturated fats, fibre, magnesium as well as protein. When adding all three ingredients together, this is a very healthy smoothie that will help to ...

What can coffee do for your skin?

Good morning everyone, welcome back to another edition of The MF Products Blog. Today we’re going to be looking at coffee and what it can do for you cosmetically. Specifically, the largest organ on your body. No, its not the liver. It’s in fact, the skin. Yes! The skin that’s all over your body is indeed an organ and since it’s everywhere we should take the most care with it. At least that’s what we think at MF Products .   Anyways, many people go through life having sensitive skin and they endure this treacherous and tedious search in trying to find that ‘special’ cream that will magically dispose of any breakouts or redness when really there’s a game changer right in front of them (not literally, but you get where I’m going with this). The truth is… MF Coffee has been the saviour this whole time. In fact, a study was published that showed that Japanese women between the ages of 30 to 60 who drank coffee had significantly less markers of aging. So that meant less wrinkles ...

How to make the MF Seamoss face mask.

  Facecare is arguably the most underlooked aspect of self-care on the human body, ironically, it’s the most sensitive part too. As a result, a great deal of these products on the high street shelves claim to be good for the skin but in reality, are not. The chemicals and toxins inputted in these products are artificial and therefore struggle to benefit the skin. In fact, in most case scenarios, they make the skin worse. That’s why the MF team decided to create a facecare blog today because we care about not just our customers but society as a whole too. This, therefore, brings us to the creation of the MF Seamoss facemask. The contents inside sea moss are, of course, natural and healthy for the body. This means, if they’re healthy for the body, they must be healthy for the skin too. You will need: -           MF Seamoss gel (check out our previous blog on how to make that) -           Chlor...
