I saw someone do it before and recently thought I'd try it. Guess what?! It tastes just fine after you tweak it a little. The oter thing is any leftover coffee goes into a mason jar and into the fridge-- I microwave it later or will drink it early morning before fresh coffee is finished. I use cream and coconut oil in my coffee - so it taste fine to me! <br />I think people are selectively squeamish about these things -- :)Patricia @ 9th and Denverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04786692442689958889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456195848900902802.post-34190745093890794212015-03-11T04:11:59.584-05:002015-03-11T04:11:59.584-05:00I reuse grounds in almost the same way except I ac...I reuse grounds in almost the same way except I actually let my old grounds sit in the strainer overnight and will just add a big heaping spoonful to them in the morning to make three moore cups. It hasn't killed me yet, although it would probably be more sensible to put the strainer with the grounds in the fridge when not in use. I don't drink much coffee these days anyway though.Yahoobuckaroo's Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17621308885893253608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456195848900902802.post-87244522360230827122015-03-09T20:10:18.866-05:002015-03-09T20:10:18.866-05:00My in-laws used to do this .. it's a throwback...My in-laws used to do this .. it's a throwback habit from the great depression. We are fortunate in having a small coffee roasting business owned by friends just down the street. Using our percolator, I have been able to cut down by 1/2 the amount of coffee we used to use by buying finely ground coffee and using a filter.

I used to walk them up to the compost pile but this winter I sort of got distracted or maybe it was just too cold. <br /><br />My husband has a percolator and loves it. We use it when the power is out or when we are camping.Kathy Felsted Usherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10471923897561942341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456195848900902802.post-65227030648120741312015-03-09T00:35:05.087-05:002015-03-09T00:35:05.087-05:00We don't have enough electricity at the cabin ...We don't have enough electricity at the cabin for a coffee maker so I use an old fashioned percolator. I think it makes better coffee than my Mr. Coffee that we use when we go to town. In the city, I'm ashamed to say that I discard my grounds. At the cabin, in the summer I add them to the garden around the plants. Sometimes in the winter I dry them on the woodstove to save without moulding. Otherwise, I wrap them in paper to burn while the fire is hot. - MargyPowell River Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580698518291129041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456195848900902802.post-21791932103079640912015-03-08T22:19:44.026-05:002015-03-08T22:19:44.026-05:00No I never heard of anyone using the grinds more t...No I never heard of anyone using the grinds more than once until now. When I composted I did save the grinds, and my mother still does. I don't use a coffee maker; I perc coffee on top of the oven the old fashion way. And at home I use a liquid creamer that is already sweet, so I don't need sugar. At work we have one of those k-cup coffee makers and I use powdered creamer and sugar. If I'm out somewhere and I buy a cup I use sugar and half and half.Mannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15396201693030286919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456195848900902802.post-45173379735243119142015-03-08T12:16:41.188-05:002015-03-08T12:16:41.188-05:00I used to save the grounds but now I just throw th...I used to save the grounds but now I just throw them into the woods. If we go into gardening I think I will keep them for the compost pile.Harry Flashmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05071021900005041592noreply@blogger.com
