I love the smell of coffee in the morning but the caffeine can send me for such a loop! Sometimes I’ll brew it just for the “welcome to the morning!” aroma, then take the used coffee grounds into the shower for a wonderful, eye-opening body scrub. Bonus points if you actually get to drink the coffee!
DIY Coffee Grounds Body Scrub
5 tsp. ground coffee (used coffee grounds are fine)
1 tsp. sugar or salt
2 tsp. essential oil (avocado works well)
Mix ingredients together and using loofah rub in a circular motion all over your body. Leave on five minutes and then wash off.

Sooooorry, my terrible English!!!! Of course CLOG and CLOGGING. I apologize once more. I am not a native speaker and realized my fault too late..... Thank you.
I wouldn´t be afraid about clothing...... It´s just a rumour. The fact is that used coffee grounds have very good ability to absorb fat and that absorbtion prevents your drain from clothing.
This isn't bad. I normally oppose wasting food, but if you can use already used coffee grounds and salt, then maybe it's something I would try.
Will try. Thanks.
Have coffee grounds, will try. But will have to prevent the grounds from going down the drain....
I shall try it, thanks.
thanks
Thank you. But at my house, the coffee grounds would clog my drains. I have a difficult time with clogged drains anyway and have tried all sorts of natural, earth-friendly ideas.
I'd rather not smell like coffee.
