I totally agree!!!! I was just thinking about this the other day!! It's also a very neutral editing style and it feels respectful (like, I never feel like the content or sponsor is being pushed on me or things are exaggerated for views). Morgan is precious and must be protected at all cost
I would caution against taking a sponsorship from Lomi. There's a few videos telling that the appliance uses a lot of energy for what it does, like 1kw for 8 hours in a certain mode. That's a ton of energy. The company tried to copyright strike the guy who did the debunk video, which is a pretty scummy thing for a company to do.
It's kinda the perfect match to the video subject: in the same way that 5 Minute Crafts is super exaggerated or idealized (at best), when it's not merely wishful thinking... so too is Lomi! It's a macerator desiccator. A very power-hungry device that, when it functions, just chops up and dries out your food scraps - as the manufacturer says, "in preparation" for turning it into compost.
For comparison, that's like running a hair dryer for eight hours. A garden plot is far more energy efficient, but if you're in a high-rise and feeding indoor plants, there MIGHT be a place for it. Maybe. That energy consumption, though...
Imagine having company over, offering them a cup of coffee, and them watching in horror as you pull your jeans out of the sink and wring the liquid into a mug before sliding it to them.
So the washing machine one doesn’t work- especially with the amount of coffee the guy uses in the machine. Your method is how I actually recommend people dye their clothes with natural dye because the coloring agent doesn’t get filtered out immediately like in a washing machine you can let the fabric soak as long as you need it to. So conceptually yes, you can darken clothes with coffee grounds- just not the way 5 minute crafts does.
Some washing machines (like mine) try to pump out any leftover water at the beginning as well. So basically even if I put in a lot more liquid coffee in, it still wouldn't work beyond maybe lightly staining. Never mind that it's just a waste of electricity and, like you said, you basically have no control over the whole process.
@@michealpersicko9531 thats an acceptable usage though. It's situational irony-- expectations were subverted because she did the hack wrong and yet it worked even better than the original hack should've.

"I'm not particularly sure what I'm doing, but I'm kinda vaguely enjoying myself" yeah Morgan that's why we enjoy watching your videos 😁 your energy is what we needed
Yes get with "how to cook that" she had a video taken down when she tried to debunk the one with using the microwave box to do fractal burning in wood and how EXTREMELY dangerous it is. But the original videos are still up.
@@mordeys after appealing HTCT's video is now back up...and we got the momentum back in the youtube algorithm. but yeah...the original dangerous videos are STILL UP.
@@Butterflier00 yes i saw that it was back up thank you. But its so stupid that videos debunking dangerous or out right false items are still up while the debunking or warning videos get tagged... so dumb.
The coffee filter hack is basically making paper mache on a bottle and painting it to decorate. There's tons of how tos and you could absolutely make that bottle a work of art.
Regarding the coffee dying and its permanence- Soak in 1:1 solution of hot water to vinegar before washing. The vinegar will set the stain on most dyes, natural or synthetic, it's pretty awesome.
With the glass bottle decoration, I remember making a “stained glass” look by using various color tissue paper as a kid- but you use normal glue with a brush, brushing it on the bottle and on top of the paper, which is what I think they are attempting to do in the fake craft video. I love your willingness to attempt this, though. Would be interesting to see one using dried out used filters so the coloring would be more random. Also I hope everyone just brings their coffee grounds to the nearest compost collection (farmers markets, public parks, ask your local sanitation dept) if they don’t have a worm bin or etc at home to make compost. Sometimes the place that collects the compost materials will even sell a small bag of the compost they’ve made which then you can use for your plants :) Straight coffee grounds is likely a bit acidic for many plants, and like someone said, may mold over time. Plants that like acidic soil may like the water that you rinse your carafe with (no soap or etc though); I used it to perk up a sad xygo cactus.
5:32 He just REALLY enjoyed the coffee cupping he just did and decided to finish the entire cup. Legends say he never even skimmed the crust he just immeditaly started sipping.
OMG, for the very first time I have more experience in a "coffee thing" them Morgan! I've been making decor objects with used (and washed) coffee filters for many, many years, and seeing Morgan's discomfort with arts and crafts was somewhat hilarious! First and probably most important, don't use superglue in it, paper is made out of cellulose (thank you, Bruna, no one knew it, oh, obvious queen) and the superglue reacts to it producing heat... Not ideal... We generally use white glue... I used a technic to make it mimic leather a couple times with a way better result than the 5MC bottles... Anyway... Loads of useless info here... Great funny video as always!
I feel like Mod Podge would probably also be a good choice for that craft in place of regular white glue. Plus Mod Podge comes in a variety of different finishes that could give the result a slightly different look. There’s even a dishwasher safe variety if someone wanted to make a bottle that they could safely clean.
@@bruresende if you have access to PVA/white glue, it's not too complex to make your own mod podge substitute. I don't know the recipe (I last researched it a few years ago), but it should be pretty easy to find.
In my experience there's a few different types of glue used for labels on bottles and jars. Only 20% of labels actually come of well with isopropyl. And like 1% come off well with heat. So many just get a little foggy with isopropyl, or maybe a little gummy instead of sticky, but they don't actually dissolve. What DOES work on 99% of glues (Yes I realize there's overlap, some glues come with both) is oil. Any kind of cooking oil will work I use coconut because that's what I cook with. Alternate rubbing on a generous portion of oil, and washing with SOAP & water. It usually only takes 3 applications and all the glue is gone. The best part of this for me is it's safe on plastic, and no scraping is required. What is happening, is the oil binds to the glue diluting and dissolving it, to the point that the soap can was away what was otherwise waterproof.
@@lisabenden If it's a glass bottle (I wouldn't try this on plastic), acetone will always work. Try only in a well ventilated area. Oil and warm soapy water as you describe is almost certainly a better idea most of the time.
The coffee grounds for fixing wood dents is similar to the walnut hack - walnuts contain walnut oil which is used as a woodstain, but it's naturally only gonna work if your wood is a similar colour to walnut. Or just buy a woodstain. Mum's also used copic markers. (She stopped me using a walnut on my cedar desk because walnut is much darker and won't make the mark 'disappear' so much as go black.)
Old army techniques to cauterize an open wound with coffee grounds , basically you get cut, have a small gash( superficial wound) you cover the wound with grounds which soak the blood when the coffee dries it kinda seals the cut. This is usually done if a medic is not around its a field supplement.
Tip for label removal, eucalyptus or tea tree oil is perfect for removing the glue. Use the oil and scratchy side of sponge and it will come off, no glue residue left after
Hi Morgan I just wanted to say I really appreciate you describing the videos that you were showing as I am totally blind I really hope to hear from you and thanks again for your videos really enjoyed listening to them
I know that sponsors pay the bills and I'm never gonna criticise someone for taking a sponsorship on their video; however you really don't need a complex and expensive Lomi or anything like that to make compost. You can get very cheap, small bins that will do. After all, you just need to let the stuff decompose. Most good quality ones are odorless too. And if you ARE worried about odor, you can put it outside and use a small "go between" bin in the kitchen.
When I was in college, I went on a Botany field trip to a black water swamp in Wisconsin. When I put my clothes in the washing machine, the water in the first attempt was the same color as your coffee sink. The second time through the washer, the water was weak coffee color. The third time it was tea color. The fourth time, finally, it was soapy water color.
As someone who loves coffee and has a lot of plants I wouldn't recommend to put grounds into your indoor plants. It will most likely mold and it's not that great of a fertilizer.
Yeah using indoors can cause mold to grow. While it isn't necessarily a great fertilizer, it does do a good job of perking up some plants by lowering the PH of the soil. Some plants just prefer a slightly acidic soil. I have found that it is great to use in my compost as it adds a significant amount of nitrogen. Obviously, it needs to be mixed in the right proportions with other organic matter.
lol I just commented the same thing, glad I'm not alone. Dryed and tried using leftover cold brew grounds as a bug deterrent and fertilizer in some of my plants and the grounds retained water, molded, and caused a mealybug and gnat infestation so bad that it spread to all my plants and took months of treatment and drought to get rid of completely. Killed a good chunk of them and the ones that lived are still hurtin from it a year later, never again
Tests have been done, and coffee grounds actually STUNT plant growth Turns out caffeine isn’t good for plants But if you COMPOST them first it works great
I don't know why, but yt algorithm suggested me your videos. I love them. So calm an nice to watch. To the guy, drinking "grinded" coffee out of the cup... I'm from Poland. In Poland, Russia etc. People often use to put grinded coffee in a cup and just pour hot water over it. It's a little bit of practice, to stir it without "moving" the grinded coffee, and drink the last sip without having the crumbs in the mouth
I would agree that 5 Minute Crafts needs to be stopped except that "professional tries 5mc hacks" is one of my favorite genres of RUclips video, so... thank you for taking one for the team!
I was watching a really long video before this one so I was at 2x speed when the video started. I can say the slide is way too enjoyable to watch at this speed! Also, I don't know about the fridge hack, but I suppose the room where your dryer is must have smelled pretty good when you where drying these coffee soaked pants!
Also for the pants I think it would be easier to just buy machine safe black dye and dye them in the washing mashine. In my country u can get it in grocery stores. But if not Amazon should do the job. It won't come out fast and it is safe and more efficient lol
I have used coffee in matching tile grout used for a repair. It can easily change a standard tan a shade or two darker. Add small quantities of coffee making sure to get it mixed evenly. Take some grout out and make a short segment and roll out to a 1/4th inch or less wide and about an inch in length. Take a hair dryer and use a low heat setting to dry. Then match the mixed color to the target shade. Mix as needed to reach the desired tint.
Not me pausing the video to adamantly look at every book on the shelf. I have so many of those books! I wish you talked about books too! Like matching coffee beverages to books or something 🥺
So I’m doing the dye hack. I bought a vintage corset online knowing it probably won’t fit but I knew I could sew an extra panel of black fabric on the back. I have some old black jeans I am going to use but that are faded and seem about three shade too light but now I’m going to use Morgan’s hack to help me with my project😌
I wear black pants for work and this coffee dye job looks really useful! How did they look when you washed them? And what was your coffee to water ratio? Like if I just put a pour a pot of coffee over my work pants in a bucket, think that would do it? Or should I water it down a bit?
I'll be honest , I really .. REALLY love watching your videos and I have to admit that your videos have became one of the reasons why I've started waiting for fridays recently 😂
coffee sink - the forbidden cup of beans! Also: if you want to get rid of smell in fridge, you can also use a cup of baking soda, it works the same as coffee, but doesn not smell like coffee, well for people who dont like it Also: coffee can get rid of flower pests at your home and garden! they dont like the smell!
Coffee and tea staining fabric is a great way to age fanfic for costumes. Also was anyone else screaming when Morgan was using super glue instead of pva glue to decopodge the bottle? Lol
I watched a video that included a different "home composter" appliance but it looks to be basically the same process. All the comments were saying that these don't actually work to create nutrient-rich soil because actual compost needs time to break down, they're basically just dehydrating and grinding up the food. So I guess it's making it not smelly and take up less space? (edited to add: I forgot to mention that these appliances take a lot of energy to run, so although it seems nice and convenient it really isn't helping on the environmental aspect)
Yep. I think Sorted Food did a video on a similar product and their conclusion is that it is convenient and clean, even if it's not 100% like a proper compost.
These devices, and specifically the Lomi, have been the subject of the wrath of classic RUclipsr Thunderf00t (basically the OG "debunker"). When these devices work as advertised, they just chop up and dry out your food scraps at the cost of a very large amount of electricity. They do not produce compost, but as advertised help prepare your food scraps for composting (debatable). You cannot use the output as compost or a gardening additive directly, especially not on houseplants.
Starbucks used to sell bags of their used coffee grounds. I used to get them for my mom and she would use them in the garden. I don’t think they do that anymore, its been several years since I have seen them selling their used grounds but it might be possible to ask them if they have any used grounds available.
They're free, but you have to get lucky with availability. Just after mornings are probably best since they usually have like 3 coffees brewing at a time. They'll have a 5 gallon bucket sitting there with bags of grounds but yeah it's not always available.
If you really want to deodorize a space activated charcoal is the be-all and end-all of filtering options. You can get it from any aquarium supply store in bulk, just be absolutely sure if you get any on your hands that you wash it off completely before eating. Activated charcoal is so incredibly absorbent it will actually screw with medication and birth control by soaking it up right out of your GI tract. It's actually used in emergencies for exactly that effect, it tastes awful but it saves lives.
Love the video, 5min hacks have got to be stopped! A little on the side though, I LOVE your bookshelf👀 any chance you could link to it or lmk where I might find one?
If you want the wine bottle craft to look the way they made theirs, you need to use craft glue… not super glue. The method they used is called decoupaging.
Use the scratchy part of the sponge and while doing that run it under hot water. In a few minutes, you will have most, if not all of it, off. Sometimes can take a bit of time. It is what I have done to remove labels off items. Not: If the pad is too scratchy, it will work better, but could scratch the bottle.
Looks like the bottle was "decorated" by doing decoupage which is actually kinda fun and easy way to upcycle. Normally use tissue paper and decoupage glue (can use PVA diluted with a bit of water)
We use coffee grounds on the garden to discourage squirrels from digging. It works, somewhat. I am dedicated to not ending up in a shooting war with rodents, so I'll take what I can get.
If you want to know a hack that actually works for removing label residue from glass...you start by applying mineral oil to the adhesive you want to remove and letting it set for like 10 or so minutes, then apply dry baking soda and rub vigorously until all of the visible adhesive is gone...then clean the residue with isopropyl alcohol soaked cotton ball (the higher the percent, the better for the alcohol)...you might need two steps to get rid of the pesky mineral oil traces.
Coffee-sink reminds me of an old member of a re-enactment group who dyed some wool in super-strong coffee and thought she was having a heart attack. She didn't realize that caffeine can be absorbed through the skin.
Is it only me but 5min crafts causes me physical pain ... please someone stop these mad people :P Also: I know bills have to be paid and the monthly coffee budget on your channel is probably more than I spend in a year but please be careful with sponsors like this. This thing does a lot (wasting space and energy for example) but it does not compost anything since that takes way more time than a couple hours.
Backstage brat. In fact, the late Ned Beatty's eldest child. Tea is often used in Theatre as a dye because white can be awkward under stage lighting. Coffee was also used to darken tea dyed white for various causes....
So... I mean... throwing a cup of coffee in with your wash like an additive... well, it is not going to hurt your machine at all, they are designed to be full of all kinds of harsh liquids as well as all kinds of food & beverage that might be on clothes... but on the other hand, it's not nearly the same thing as soaking a garment in pure coffee for an extended period. The wash cycle is going to immediately dilute the coffee, and while you'd still quite possibly noticeably stain white clothes, you're not going to make a serious impact on faded blacks. I'd also be careful with coffee directly on your plants... piles of wet coffee grounds are gonna mold. It's fine in the garden, and I guess it might be okay if you mixed it into the soil during a repotting. Or you could add your coffee grounds to your compost and use the results of that process as nitrogen-rich soil in a year or two. Okay, also.... I gotta say... the coffee as deodorizer might work great, but it's not going to be useful as coffee afterwards (and you won't want to use used grounds because they will be wet and moldy and in any case have lost most of their aromatic compounds that are probably doing the heavy lifting in this use case) ... so... y'know... baking soda is just going to be more practical and do the same thing. And is also less likely to make things taste like coffee that you don't want tasting like coffee. I got nothing to say about the wood scratches or the bottle tho, I'm just rolling my eyes, heh. Ok, no, one small thing... I'm pretty sure they were trying to suggest that the unbleached filters were used filters. Which they obviously aren't, but y'know, they do stupid fake 'hacks' all the time and clearly have a very low opinion of their viewers intelligence.
The wood scratch thing is about disguising finish blemishes. Its the oils in the grounds or you can use an oily nut. I grew up using pecans from my yard. And the coffee filter craft would have worked better with a paste rather than cyan o-acrylkate. It's not the right glue....
okay but like can we just appreciate how freaking comfortable her videos are? the lack of annoying music? and unnecessary intros? this really is the one of the most calming and easy to watch channels ever. love it!

Also for the pants I think it would be easier to just buy machine safe black dye and dye them in the washing mashine. In my country u can get it in grocery stores. But if not Amazon should do the job. It won't come out fast and it is safe and more efficient lol
I have used coffee in matching tile grout used for a repair. It can easily change a standard tan a shade or two darker. Add small quantities of coffee making sure to get it mixed evenly. Take some grout out and make a short segment and roll out to a 1/4th inch or less wide and about an inch in length. Take a hair dryer and use a low heat setting to dry. Then match the mixed color to the target shade. Mix as needed to reach the desired tint.
Not me pausing the video to adamantly look at every book on the shelf. I have so many of those books! I wish you talked about books too! Like matching coffee beverages to books or something 🥺
that slide in was pristine.
Morgan: Maybe we can dunk it in coffee
The Coffee Sink: Am I a joke to you?
Love it - particularly the bit where you question drinking from the coffee sink...
So I’m doing the dye hack. I bought a vintage corset online knowing it probably won’t fit but I knew I could sew an extra panel of black fabric on the back. I have some old black jeans I am going to use but that are faded and seem about three shade too light but now I’m going to use Morgan’s hack to help me with my project😌
Stoner here! I use coffee grinds to get rid of that dank weed smell, it works wonders.
I wear black pants for work and this coffee dye job looks really useful! How did they look when you washed them?
And what was your coffee to water ratio? Like if I just put a pour a pot of coffee over my work pants in a bucket, think that would do it? Or should I water it down a bit?
That composter is insane. A composter that’s worse than landfill, quite the achievement
I'll be honest , I really .. REALLY love watching your videos and I have to admit that your videos have became one of the reasons why I've started waiting for fridays recently 😂
coffee sink - the forbidden cup of beans!
Also: if you want to get rid of smell in fridge, you can also use a cup of baking soda, it works the same as coffee, but doesn not smell like coffee, well for people who dont like it
Also: coffee can get rid of flower pests at your home and garden! they dont like the smell!
Coffee and tea staining fabric is a great way to age fanfic for costumes. Also was anyone else screaming when Morgan was using super glue instead of pva glue to decopodge the bottle? Lol
Gasp! An appearance of the fabled bookshelf! 👏👏👏
The coffee grounds hack is not only good for the soil in your garden beds. Coffee grounds will repeal mosquitoes and kill mosquito larvae.
Because of the coffee pigments, you can also use them for hair color. That's why it also works on fabrics.😊😊
I use coffee ground as an exfoliating treatment and it’s great.
I watched a video that included a different "home composter" appliance but it looks to be basically the same process. All the comments were saying that these don't actually work to create nutrient-rich soil because actual compost needs time to break down, they're basically just dehydrating and grinding up the food. So I guess it's making it not smelly and take up less space?
(edited to add: I forgot to mention that these appliances take a lot of energy to run, so although it seems nice and convenient it really isn't helping on the environmental aspect)
Yep. I think Sorted Food did a video on a similar product and their conclusion is that it is convenient and clean, even if it's not 100% like a proper compost.
These devices, and specifically the Lomi, have been the subject of the wrath of classic RUclipsr Thunderf00t (basically the OG "debunker").
When these devices work as advertised, they just chop up and dry out your food scraps at the cost of a very large amount of electricity. They do not produce compost, but as advertised help prepare your food scraps for composting (debatable).
You cannot use the output as compost or a gardening additive directly, especially not on houseplants.
Starbucks used to sell bags of their used coffee grounds. I used to get them for my mom and she would use them in the garden. I don’t think they do that anymore, its been several years since I have seen them selling their used grounds but it might be possible to ask them if they have any used grounds available.
They're free, but you have to get lucky with availability. Just after mornings are probably best since they usually have like 3 coffees brewing at a time. They'll have a 5 gallon bucket sitting there with bags of grounds but yeah it's not always available.
This one was fun. Thank you for your hard work on this video ✌️☕🥂💜💙❤️
"There's literally ewh." This wisdom needs to be on a shirt. I would wear it on Mondays.
I love how you agitating your trousers in the sink looks so much like a cat kneading a blanket to me.🥰
This is a terrifying notification to receive
Excellent
@@morgandrinkscoffee 😂😭
Makes sense, its 5-min crafts
5MC is a cancer to the internet, but your videos make me almost happy they exist.
If you really want to deodorize a space activated charcoal is the be-all and end-all of filtering options. You can get it from any aquarium supply store in bulk, just be absolutely sure if you get any on your hands that you wash it off completely before eating. Activated charcoal is so incredibly absorbent it will actually screw with medication and birth control by soaking it up right out of your GI tract. It's actually used in emergencies for exactly that effect, it tastes awful but it saves lives.
if you can't get a label off of glass use terpentine (optionally with an old sponge) and maby use modpodge to cover and glue the filters.
Looking forward to seeing you at the WBC, you're going to do great!
Hot coffee grounds, or just hot water might fix small dents on wood. Just steam will do as well. Not scratches though.
You’re kitchen is so pretty! :)
“Now it’s time for an agitation break!”
Oh, I just read the news for that…
I think “it’s time for an agitation break” is a brand new sentence
Love the video, 5min hacks have got to be stopped! A little on the side though, I LOVE your bookshelf👀 any chance you could link to it or lmk where I might find one?
It’s part of the Ivar series from IKEA!
IKEA! Perfect, I'll check it out. Thank you!🙏
yeah if ur going to dye with coffee i feel like doing it in ur washing machine could be a bad idea but just like in a pot or in the sink seems fine
I love how Morrigan ends up making the tutorial instead of 5-Minute Crafts 😂
It's a strong video, but the best bit is the jumping cat microwave reflection at 2:50
for the wood scratches you can use a walnut instead of coffee grounds
MorganDrinksCoffee 🤜🤛 HowToCookThat
"Five minute crafts must be stopped"
+Jenna marbles ofc
And Simply Nailogical with Troom troom, Royalty Soaps with similar, and Threadbanger with "5 minute craps" lol
@@Xeyxey0 The first thing I thought when I saw the title "does troom troom have coffee hacks?"
4:12 my abuela does that in the part of her garden that grows azaleas...
and they be HUGE....it changes the pH of the soil...
If you want the wine bottle craft to look the way they made theirs, you need to use craft glue… not super glue. The method they used is called decoupaging.
Use the scratchy part of the sponge and while doing that run it under hot water. In a few minutes, you will have most, if not all of it, off. Sometimes can take a bit of time. It is what I have done to remove labels off items. Not: If the pad is too scratchy, it will work better, but could scratch the bottle.
Your vids are so soothing
Looks like the bottle was "decorated" by doing decoupage which is actually kinda fun and easy way to upcycle. Normally use tissue paper and decoupage glue (can use PVA diluted with a bit of water)
I think using super glue did ruin the process - not that the 5 minute craft one was any good, but Morgan's could have been better using PVA
@@klaernie 5min craft gives 0 instructions and yeah if you're not crafty all glue is equal.
Flabbergasted at the number of Jot bottles in your fridge 😂 great video as always.
For the scratched wood… an oily nut like walnut or macadamia nut rubbed into the wood scratch makes the scratch disappear.
"Time for an agitation break." Ahh, me after writing for 3 hours straight.
perfect timing, was just catching up on your vids
Hair dryer to any glued label will soften the glue and will peel right off! 😊
Or WD-40 will dissolve it
I personally choose to believe that Morgan's landlord is a washing machine
Appreciate the low key 'Take Me Out To The Ball Game' in the background ⚾🎶
I shall now and forever call any immersion brewing method: coffee sink
We made coffee sink. Oh yes love this
I heard ya say fertilizer and instantly thought of lomi. they look so incredible
And are utterly useless ways of wasting energy.
We use coffee grounds on the garden to discourage squirrels from digging. It works, somewhat. I am dedicated to not ending up in a shooting war with rodents, so I'll take what I can get.
Morgan is your ranchilo your go to for every day use?
Please post an update on whether the soap washed the coffee color out or now!
The cat hopping at 2:51!
For the bottle craft, pretty sure you can use hair spray and glue coffee grounds on it. Put the cork back and draw a silly barista face on it 😅
at 7:28 it's a whole new "Morgan Spills Coffee - on purpose"
If you want to know a hack that actually works for removing label residue from glass...you start by applying mineral oil to the adhesive you want to remove and letting it set for like 10 or so minutes, then apply dry baking soda and rub vigorously until all of the visible adhesive is gone...then clean the residue with isopropyl alcohol soaked cotton ball (the higher the percent, the better for the alcohol)...you might need two steps to get rid of the pesky mineral oil traces.
Coffee-sink reminds me of an old member of a re-enactment group who dyed some wool in super-strong coffee and thought she was having a heart attack. She didn't realize that caffeine can be absorbed through the skin.
Caffeine can WHAT
@@RianeBane yep. Back when ThinkGeek was a website, they sold caffeinated soap, for your morning pick-me-up.
I liked the part about the bread maker for dirt
To neatly remove a label from a bottle use a blow drier or a heat gun.
When you started using super glue I lost it 🤣🤣
Mod podge 🤣
Love this video! Can you try the flair 58?! The hand pressed, manual espresso maker. I just got a commercial for it during this vid lol!
Is it only me but 5min crafts causes me physical pain ... please someone stop these mad people :P
Also:
I know bills have to be paid and the monthly coffee budget on your channel is probably more than I spend in a year but please be careful with sponsors like this. This thing does a lot (wasting space and energy for example) but it does not compost anything since that takes way more time than a couple hours.
Landlord washingmachine deserves to be a childrensbook!
Morgan will forever be my youtube crush 😍
Eucalyptus oil / Cajuput oil removes glue residues from labels like magic.
Backstage brat. In fact, the late Ned Beatty's eldest child.
Tea is often used in Theatre as a dye because white can be awkward under stage lighting.
Coffee was also used to darken tea dyed white for various causes....
What was the roast level for the coffee used to dye the pants?
So... I mean... throwing a cup of coffee in with your wash like an additive... well, it is not going to hurt your machine at all, they are designed to be full of all kinds of harsh liquids as well as all kinds of food & beverage that might be on clothes... but on the other hand, it's not nearly the same thing as soaking a garment in pure coffee for an extended period. The wash cycle is going to immediately dilute the coffee, and while you'd still quite possibly noticeably stain white clothes, you're not going to make a serious impact on faded blacks.
I'd also be careful with coffee directly on your plants... piles of wet coffee grounds are gonna mold. It's fine in the garden, and I guess it might be okay if you mixed it into the soil during a repotting. Or you could add your coffee grounds to your compost and use the results of that process as nitrogen-rich soil in a year or two.
Okay, also.... I gotta say... the coffee as deodorizer might work great, but it's not going to be useful as coffee afterwards (and you won't want to use used grounds because they will be wet and moldy and in any case have lost most of their aromatic compounds that are probably doing the heavy lifting in this use case) ... so... y'know... baking soda is just going to be more practical and do the same thing. And is also less likely to make things taste like coffee that you don't want tasting like coffee.
I got nothing to say about the wood scratches or the bottle tho, I'm just rolling my eyes, heh. Ok, no, one small thing... I'm pretty sure they were trying to suggest that the unbleached filters were used filters. Which they obviously aren't, but y'know, they do stupid fake 'hacks' all the time and clearly have a very low opinion of their viewers intelligence.
The wood scratch thing is about disguising finish blemishes. Its the oils in the grounds or you can use an oily nut. I grew up using pecans from my yard. And the coffee filter craft would have worked better with a paste rather than cyan o-acrylkate. It's not the right glue....
