The Coffee Lovers SlideShare

Dear Coffee, You know how much I love you. Your color, your taste, your mind-enhancing chemicals. It seems as though my day is not complete without you. How did I ever exist before you? Even just smelling your distinguished aromas from another room is enough to make me want you. Badly. Thank you for being so delicious. Although at the beginning of our relationship I admit you had to share room with both cream and sugar, I knew you'd understand. See how much I've come to love you that I now appreciate your naked nuances? Oh, coffee. Please don't tell your sister, Decaf, but I find her to be so inferior in every way, that I cannot stand to watch others consume her. I love you, coffee, and only you. Until tomorrow morning, my love. Forever Yours, Patricia via pmrogosich

You can use coffee to fix furniture! Is that small crack, nick, or gouge all you can see each time you look at your dark wood dresser? Reach for the instant coffee. Mix 2-3 tablespoons with just enough water to make a thick paste; for wood with red tones, add a few drops of iodine. Put the paste on a small putty knife or a disposable plastic knife and use it to fill the crack. Remove any excess around the edges with a barely damp cloth.

Coffee can be used to trap cockroaches! Using coffee grounds to create a non-toxic, very effective roach trap: 1. Place fresh, used coffee grounds in open glass jar. 2. Add a few inches of warm water; mix. 3. Add a strip of duct or masking tape down the side of the jar, vertically (so the roach can climb into the jar). 4. Place jar overnight in roachs favorite hang out (kitchen, bathroom, etc.). Cockroaches love the smell of coffee grounds. They will climb into the jar and drown in the water

Coffee can be used in your garden! Coffee grounds fit the standards set by gardeners for compost materials. The grounds, when mixed with soil, release nutrients that make the ground richer and more acidic. Plants that flourish in acidic soil will be healthier since they can get the needed nourishment from the ground. If you have a good supply of coffee grounds, just spread them evenly in your garden. Your plants will reward you by producing robust blooms.
