It helps lower soil pH due to it’s acidity and is always a good thing to compost, but it’s low in nutrients. It does however grow gourmet Oyster mushrooms when combined with the coffee filters. You can get grow kits at www.FungiPerfecti.com. RScott

I think I may have an allergy to coffee. I recently started drinking coffee daily (4-5 cups a day) and I got a rash on both my arms. The right arm first, then it has been looking clearer. Now my left arm has a worse rash then the other. It is on my stomach a little too. I looked up the reactions to coffee and a rash made the top of the list. I am going to stop drinking coffee. Has anyone had a similar situation?

Best answer:

Answer by Jade
It’s possible to get a rash from anything if you’re allergic to it! Stop drinking it for a while and see if it clears up. I don’t like coffee so I have never had that reaction!

I put a pinch of salt on the coffee before brewing to reduce bitterness, and use ice cold water. Both help the flavor of coffee.

I left a rag soaked in coffee hanging over the edge of the bathtub to dry a few weeks ago…and have been looking at the coffee stain it left behind ever since. Scrubbing with Comet and a brush hasn’t removed the rag. Any suggestions?
lol—-scrubbing with Comet and a brush hasn’t removed the rag. That’s funny!

What I meant to say is scrubbing has not removed the stain.

I am wanting to use my Magic Bullet to make a coffee frappe. But it keeps separating and is gross! I got some pectin and gelatin. Can I use either one of these to add to my mixture to keep it from separating? If so – does any one know how much to add. If not – what does anyone recommend to use that I can get at the grocery store.

Best answer:

Answer by EmpressOath
gelatin should work. it needs to be dissolved in hot water. you don’t say how much frappe you are making! one cup, 2 cups?? try 1/2 teaspoon. you will have to experiment.

A week ago my little one knocked over a full glass of coffee on to the carpet. I tried to clean it up using Zep Commercial High Traffic Carpet Cleaner. But, when it dried, there was still a huge stain and I have no clue how to get rid of it.

Best answer:

Answer by eskie lover
I drink almost nothing but coffee and tea and have had stains on almost every surface imaginable. The BEST at removing both is Simple Green because it breaks down the tanin which is what is left by other cleaners. I use it straight, agitate it into the the fibers, use a little water to rinse followed by vinegar so that I don’t get a mystery stain where the dirt gets attracted to the detergents and it completely removes both coffee and tea stains on most anything.
