This is a great idea! In my university environmental science classes, they taught us about common foods and their different nutrient compositions, but I only just now realized that coffee's is almost identical to natural peat. The only thing it would be missing is some extra carbon and it's a bit too acidic, both of which are fixed by adding hardwood sawdust. You've essentially created an accelerated process of making peat! Mind if I email this vid to my old prof at UNM? He'd love it!
Jenna. You are welcome to share the video. I've a playlist Briquettes, make & burn 🔥🔥🔥🔥 🔥: th-cam.com/play/PLomQ4jxG80doKGlqFJ__qCpKJMK08K8TA.html I've been saying for Months that this process is like artificially creating Peat. I've never used peat for burning. However I did have a visitor in my workshop who told me it was almost exactly the same smell as peat. He was gobsmacked at what I was creating in the corner of my workshop. I should add he was from Ireland, had burnt peat and knew a thing or two about Briquette Making but not leaving it for a few weeks. Please share the info and I welcome any chat about it.
I just love this so useful, why not!!! They must smell amazing, thinking about camping, would they smell like coffee and peat, sounds kinda scrumptious actually!
This is the 1st video of yours that I've run across, & I'm quite happy about it! Once I find a woodworking shop that will happily donate sawdust to my endeavor, I will be doing this straightaway! My daughter has a coffee shop, & I already use the grounds in my soap, but she definitely has more that is sadly going to waste! I'd share, but I'm in the States! Do you ever have any issues with mold developing? I've tried to dry out the loose grounds for use in my soaps, & every batch that I've dried to air dry has molded! I've had to go to putting it in the oven, but I'd really prefer not to waste the electricity! I know that burning the briquettes that I'll be making would offset that cost, but I'd rather come out ahead! 😁 Thank you for what you've shared, and hopefully a tip about why my grounds mold!
I saw this man’s beard and I immediately trusted all of the information that came out of this man’s mouth about this subject. I don’t know why but it just screams “I’m an environmentalist woodworker who loves coffee.”
Ahh my daughter told me it was the beard that people trust. And that's why this video is flying. I do like a bit of coffee, not sure I'd be able to fill those bags though. Welcome to my channel 🙏 Jamie
And getting longer and I have to say, a little easier to control some days 😂 Other days.. It's a weird beard. Thanks for watching Have you subscribed? Jamie
That's fantastic, thanks man! Where I'm from (Poland) cities also use used coffee to de-ice pavements in winter. It works a treat and doesn't destroy the soil with salt 😁
I had no idea. I'm still in shock that this video has gone crazy. I appreciate everyone that has helped and supported me. I set a goal for a 6 year plan and you guys are helping and lifting me up. Grateful 🙏 Thanks for the comment too. It helps so much more than people really know. Thank you Jamie
Hi. My latest video is out. Using moulds rather than the press, but also keeping the liquid in the mix th-cam.com/video/nnMHSy7FY7Y/w-d-xo.html Enjoy, let me know in the comments what you think. Jamie
Well, thank you for watching. Glad you enjoyed it. I only expected this video to have 3-400 views. Certainly not 300k plus. I appreciate the comment, it really helps my channel grow. If you consider subscribing too, that would be lovely. Jamie
Interesting. I've got about 3000lbs of coffee on hand but I use it for bedding in chicken coops where it collects droppings. Then it's harvested, hydrated and fed to fly larva that are harvested for chicken feed. What's left over is ready to feed my fruit trees and plant beds. Still, your little coffee brick trick is useful to know. Never know what the future holds....
This may sound crazy, but I'm fascinated by this technique because what you're making here looks like a great mushroom substrate. Coffee grounds alone are nutritious but because of that they mold so fast they usually go to waste. Seeing these as bricks you can save for later or even wet in a bucket not moldy is giving me all sorts of ideas.
there's a lot of green mold in there. but you can easily pasteurized the bricks. however they may fall apart when fully hydrated. something to think about though. maybe a modified tech...
I've never seen any of your videos until right now but I believe a man who knows how to deal with the grain of his own beard, like you clearly do, must be a great wood worker as well. Great video on reducing waste for sustainable causes. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos.
That's a really nice thing to say. Thank you. Taming of the beard is a daily struggle. It's like a badly trained puppy 🙈 Do I need to ask if you've subscribed? Jamie
You're doing great with the beard friend, and that struggle is what adds a character and a uniqueness that only you alone can claim. I am a new subscriber, also dealing with an unruly beard grain myself which I'm growing to appreciate and manage. However, I'm not as good at wood working but very interested, so I'm looking forward to seeing more of your content!

Amazing idea! We have a carpentry workshop and produce briquettes out of the wood-waste but would never think of adding coffee waste to the mix. Love it and looking forward to trying it out ourselves!

To your last point, if you are into gardening and making your own mulch - the ash you get from burning those brickettes are an excellent POTASH additive that will enhance your soil greatly...
Thank you. Well, I'd heard Coffee was good for the soil. And once I'd tried it, it was instant success. Especially that it burns hotter than Wood. Coffee shop guys drop it at my door now. So it's pretty effortless. Where in the World are you? Jamie
As mushroom grower i use allot of wood chips/shavings/dust and coffee grounds. It's the cheapest substrate i can acquire, it mix with other more nutrient dense stuff. But i love the fact that i can get 1m3 of a shavings for less then 10£😊
I wrote my undergrad honors thesis on the COST avoidance offered by keeping waste out of landfills-brilliant use of coffee byproducts: universalize behaviour and imagine the savings offered to UK communities by Bricketts! Bravo!

In Germany, we put used coffee grounds into the compost bin. The council picks it up and makes compost that is resold to the public at a profit. That lowers our Waste Management bills. I think making fuel from them is a good idea, but it's not the only option. Coffee grounds are a valuable resource, don't waste it on a landfill.

Brilliant. We use a wood burner for our main heat supply. We can get a supply of coffee grounds but not the wood chips. Would really like to make these. Very clever!
Another solid video pal. A self sufficient heat source combined with practical waste management and more importantly, that has got to be cost effective for you. With the ever increasing costs of all our fuel sources whether it’s domestic heating or fuel for transport, it ain’t going to get much cheaper. I like how you have recorded the entire process too making production simple and easy to follow. Great job.
Yes. 👍 And they burn brilliantly these days. I'm not up and down 'feeding' the log burner as often. Thank you for your support. Have you subscribed? Jamie
Living in a Tropical Country i just made it so I can collect Air-Cond water for Laundry and Flushing. Sure it's just a small thing but it's more of a Satisfying Hobby than a savings scheme . Bravo for taking it further !

I've been saving the ''plugs'' [spent grounds] from my espresso maker for years. I refill the paper bags bulk coffee is sold in, age them, and throw them on the fire. Coffee oil seems to be flammable. I don't have access to wood shavings or sawdust, but that mix looks even better.

Hi. Latest video is out with more details and 3 methods of creating Coffee briquettes. You can see it here th-cam.com/video/1qBiP2sDOd0/w-d-xo.html Thank you. Jamie
WEAR A REBREATHER BUD... you'd be shocked at the damage you can do breathing that crap in... especially the mold on the coffee. your lungs cannot expel most fine particulate, so it stays there forever... 3M has some excellent options for $20 I also think your mixing would be far more efficient with a "propeller" shaped mixing bit for your drill... not sure the official name for it, but I have one and it's like magic... also, I cant remember what it's called, I believe it's "AERATION" but there are videos of men mixing concrete... they drop a wand/mixer into the wet cement, and IN SECONDS, the concrete is mixed perfectly and ALL AIR BROUGHT TO THE SURFACE... amazing to see... it's dont with HIGH VIBRATION... you said these bricks work best when packed as evenly and tightly as possible, so in my opinion, this method of aerating, vibrating the mix (perhaps after your initial drill bit mix) would be the best possible way to evenly distribute all ingredients, and therefore achieve the tightest pack. hope this helps!!!! LOVE THE VIDEO -- EPIC BEARD!!!!!! EDIT: JUST GOOGLED IT FOR YOU.... it's called "IMMERSION " or "INTERNAL" VIBRATING... if you google "WHY USE A CONCRETE VIBRATOR" and scroll until you find a result from a website called DYCONCRETEPUMPS , you'll find their info page on it.. This method improves STRENGTH AND DENSITY, REMOVES AIR, and provides a more uniform mixture, making the finished product that much more durable.. if applied to your bricks, i'd imagine this would only make them DRY FASTER AND BURN LONGER there seems to be a specific technique to it for ideal results, but this info is detailed on the website.. and there seems to be plenty of DIY ways to achieve this internal immersion vibration without spending big bucks on a concrete vibrator OK - NOW IM DONE! hope you try it out and it yields greater results
Wow.. Thank you. And the video was done without a mask for speed. I do wear one nowadays as the process is probably more suited to the great outdoors (free ventilation) have you subscribed? I think you should Thanks again Jamie
@@twcmaker yes I subbed earlier!! And no need to thank me!! Consider it an exchange of knowledge, yours for mine!! Isnt that the way its supposed to be?? I recommend watching a video or 2 on this immersion vibration method (with cement) .... what occurs in such a short timeframe is so amazing IT LOOKS FAKE... Again, it must be done in a specific way for best results (which I believe is simply starting low and steadily lifting your "BIT" up and out... in other words, too much is no good.. I hope you find a cost effective method (consider using air compressor tools for max vibration maybe?) and see an improvement in your bricks. Ill be watching!
I've thought about this. I think the briquettes would have to be deeper than the 45mm. And it would add more effort. Initial thoughts. I'll think about how/if it could work. There's always the design principle (had to Google it) Keep it simple, stupid (KISS) is a design principle which states that designs and/or systems should be as simple as possible. Wherever possible, complexity should be avoided in a system-as simplicity guarantees the greatest levels of user acceptance and interaction. Time will tell. Someone years ago mentioned in a comment to use less water. And it was only after I left it too long in the bucket I stumbled on the composted method. Thanks again Jamie
@@twcmaker well, im not totally sure which parts you're thinking are NOT simplfied, but I will remind you of this one thing... All the evidence we have of ancient civilizations shows us that they had a MASTERFUL understanding of frequency/vibration/energy... Its believed that many of the unexplained structures we marvel at today and cannot replicate were in fact created WiTH EASE thanks to their deep knowledge of this... We also know that allegedly the "Romans" had a cement SO STRONG & LONG LASTING that WE CANNOT MAKE TODAY because we cant figure out how they did it... I say they used the simpelst methods possible... I think the harnessing of energy with frequency and utilizing the tools of nature (such as water) was SO COMMONLY USED that they thought nothing of it. Just some food for thought.. That said, I just remembered another DIY vibration method you can try to see if things pan out a little better for you.. Instead of "INTERNAL" vibration, try EXTERNAL.. The simplest way to do this on a tight budget would be a plug-in palm sander (without the sandpaper)... Strap it tight to your mixing bucket and FLIP THE SWITCH... everything in that bucket will have the ride of its life.
I love it!! I'm a big coffee drinker, 12 cups a day. I would use some of the coffee grounds in our compost for the garden. We also use a wood stove to heat our house. All the chips from cutting logs could get mixed with the coffee grounds and either burned in our stove or even for summer campfires. What a fabulous idea. I think I'll have to try it. No waste! I love it!!
I feel compelled to tell you: 12 cups of caffeinated coffee per day is well over 2 Grams of caffeine which is toxic! Over 10 grams per day can be fatal. ❤ Hopefully, you're drinking decaf!
@@geobus3307 I know a few people who drink that much. You build up a tolerance to it. A few of them end up with heart palpitations if they *don't* get their coffee at this point.
I started something similar with my kids old school books. A4 papers..endless, but I never knew about coffee before thanks. They all thought I was cuckoo. But we're impressed when we lit the fire again.

I just collect the woodscraps, sawdust and bark in paper bags, cornflakes packages and similiar, or just in an open ibc container, that sits in our shed. When the winter comes i just scoop up a few kg sawdust/bark/woodchips during each startup of the boiler, and mix with regular wood. I burn about 300kg of this type of free fuel each year. I dont have any more. I dont know if i have a good boiler (28kW/with fan), but it burns well and require very little effort, as long as i dont add too much. So depending on your boiler, it may not even require making a briquette. Good to recycle the coffe grounds as well as sawdust. Every kWh counts.
That's a huge boiler 28kw mine is in my home and only a 5kw (4.5kw with 3ft exposed flue) Your system works. We all have to do our bit to save giving more ££s to the corporations. Thanks for watching Jamie Ps Subscribe, share & like. Thanks again

As someone who makes these myself, that white stuff on your coffee grounds is mold. DO NOT USE MOLDY COFFEE GROUNDS! that mold is super toxic when burned and it will cause long term health problems if you breathe the smoke. If you're going to use grounds, they need to be left out in a thin layer to dry completely when they're still fresh. You can still use grounds from your local coffee shop, but make sure they're from that day only, and make sure you lay them out in a thin layer to dry as soon as you get them home and DO NOT LET THEM SIT IN THE BAG WHILE THEY'RE WET. other than that, these look great. Stay safe!
I burn these on my Log burner. And that mold gets MIXED in the bucket and goes. It does sometimes show on the outside of the briquette and dries within a day or so. My workshop is very dry so the mold doesn't accelerate and dies back. The fumes are in the chimney when burning with the log burner door closed.
@@TheZombieSaints I assume you're saying it won't cause long-term health effects. If you're burning them the way this creator is, you're probably fine. If you have any sort of open fire where you're exposed to the smoke, it absolutely will. Now, you're welcome to provide evidence to the contrary, though I doubt you're going to be able to find anything saying the fumes from burnt mold are not bad for you. Or you can just use moldy logs if that's your perogative. I sell a lot of my logs, and I'd never take that risk with customers since there is no way of knowing how they are using the logs, and i care about their health.
Transfer your dry ingredients back and forth between two buckets... your ingredients will be pre-mixed, then add your water and stir with your wand till the water has penetrated the mash. LOT LESS labor. The gardener in me wants to try your mix as a soil additive! Great video!
@@twcmaker LOL! Nope. We have one but just because we do remodeling work and need to mix cement on a regular basis. A little extra work never killed anybody & it builds character... according to my grandpa anyway.
I'm helping my mate with his new coffee business and we produce so much ground waste! I think with your research and shared findings we can make a side hustle possible!

After college, while career shopping, I worked as a substitute teacher. I made friends with the shop teacher and he let me take boxes of scrap home to the wood stove. It wasn’t enough to heat my cabin by itself, since it burned too fast, but it also burned so hot I could use greener wood from the surrounding forest. My job took me back to civilization, but I was planning to make bricks like these using litter from the forest floor mixed in with ‘cement’ from my composting toilet.
That is so cool! I was thinking that you should get one of those tiny cement mixers. you could just dump everything, turn the mixer on and bingo! I love seeing stuff like this! Now I gotta go pester your play list...😁

I just bought some coffee press logs for camping last week. I use coffee beans as a car freshener and home fragrance, so I was excited to try these logs. I didnt notice at the time that the label says burns about 75% cleaner than wood, which is a bonus. And yeah I was disappointed that they didnt fill the campsite with the aroma. But they did burn clean and even. And they burned for several hours each. Love this! And I bet it would keep spiders and other critters out of the firewood piles. Win, win!
Just found your channel. Great stuff. Thank you. I like learning how to make the most out of things that would otherwise be seen as useless. Used coffee grounds. I don’t know if I’d have ever thought of using them. Thank you.
Thank you. These lovely words really help. I made this next video th-cam.com/video/KM2BE46i-EU/w-d-xo.html To help anyone who thought that you need a press. And this video has gone to help others make/create briquettes all around the World. It's not what my woodworking channel was going to be about. But this actually helps people. It helps heat homes and helps people cook their meals. It's pretty cool being able to share this through TH-cam. Have you subscribed? Jamie
Ingenious, and I bet they smell good burning. I live in Florida so I don’t worry about fuel for heat. But bein a native from Minnesota, always good to know this kind of stuff.
Hi Sandra. Florida what a place. (that was a long time ago) I think you're fine for heat over there. This is great for the garden then. Share with your gardening friends 👍 That helps me out, and could help them out too. Have you subscribed? It really helps my channel out if you can. Have a beautiful day Jamie Ps. The smell goes during the 2 months in the bucket unfortunately.

I do something similar but also use junk mail that's been shredded and left soaking so it's closer to a pulp. Evolved my squisher from one of those DIY store paper log makers after finding the holes were far too big for letting only water pass through.

I'm American, so you all know how we are with our coffee. We can't live without it, but it's mostly trash. Because of the secret depression we are in, well, most of the world is in, I've started reusing my grounds. I use an electric percolator and we are drinking it all day so when I make another pot in the afternoon I add just a bit of new coffee to the morning grounds so it's just a tad lighter than the first pot which is great for the evening. Then the grounds either go in the compost or straight to my gardens. We are also restoring my old farmhouse, so lots of shavings and sawdust. The shavings get saved for the chicken coop nesting, and the saw dust goes in our cat's pan. But we also have a wood stove, so I'm definitely going to try this as well. I bet it makes just the most wonderful kindling. Thank you for this wonderful idea.
Thank you for this. This all sounds perfect. If I break the briquettes into 4 pieces and just a couple of bits of wood it starts the fire off brilliantly. In this video th-cam.com/video/KM2BE46i-EU/w-d-xo.html there's an easier way to make them, without the press. Thank you for watching Have you subscribed? Jamie
I could listen to you speak about just about anything! You have a beautiful voice and a captivating way of explaining things. I don’t even plan to make this but I watched all the way through!
Thank you Christina, that's very kind of you to say. I'm a little surprised. Some say the Midlands accent is the worst in the UK. So, it doesn't quite feel so bad now. Anyhow, next video out tonight.

I use all my grounds for home in the compost pile. I have know people who are wood workers, and a friend who just opened a coffee shop (and frenz who work at the starbucks down the way). I love the Permaculture aspect to this (every output is the next input thing). Gotta watch the rest of your vidjays and get yet anoher side-project going. Thanks for posting.
You said that better than I did. One more thing I can add. The Ash from the burning of the briquettes (is sometimes) can be used as a natural pottery glaze. I've not been asked for any in a while. Especially since using the Coffee grounds. But apparently the wood only briquettes make wonderful Ash.
@@twcmaker, I save my hardwood ash to make lye soap. Making pottery glazes is a whole other world of fire, chemistry, alchemy, and witchcraft. I want to make some tiles later this summer/fall. The wood ash makes sense as there are various minerals and sals in ash depending on species, environment, etc. Yet another rabbit hole to explore.

I can burn a 44 gallon drum of sawdust with no smoke created after the 1st 10 minutes. 1. 44 gallon drum with let's say a 50mm hole in the bottom of the drum in the centre. 2. You have a pole or tube that reaches from the hole in the bottom whilst covering the hole to the very top of the drum. 3. Add your sawdust then cover the top with sand, preventing the sawdust on the top from burning. 4. Have the drum on top of some bricks or install legs on the drum so as it's raised off the ground 200mm or so, allowing it to breathe from underneath. 5. Roll up some newspaper, remove the pole or pipe former very carefully to not make the sawdust collapse down the hole left from the pole. 6. Insert the paper to the bottom of the hole in the sawdust carefully and ignite. This will smoke badly for about 10 minutes then it'll burn pretty much with no smoke for about 10 hours. 🇦🇺
@@twcmaker outside in my yard. I'm not sure how you might go with insurance if one has a non approved wood heater installed in one's workshop. Btw, you don't touch the sawdust burner once it's let. If you do it'll probably collapse in on itself. It's like a candle, it just feeds on its self till it goes out. Try it on a smaller scale, like say a large coffee tin or 20L metal paint bucket.
Instead of using the drill with the mixer blade, use a cement mixer! Bigger batches can be mixed with a better coffee grounds to wood chips and residue ratio. You can tip out the mixture straight into the brick molds, thus saving moving heavy buckets around.
Are you serious? I've got a Woodworking workshop where I mix with a drill for 10-15 minutes per month. Do you think I should bring in a Cement mixer, spend time filling it up, using it for a few minutes, to then spend time cleaning it out...🙈 Then store it in my space for a month without use, only to.. 🙈 There is no logic to what you are suggesting. Others out there are welcome to try it. I have talked with someone at the City of Chicago. They might be doing it on a much larger scale than me. But they will be using excavators. Thank you for your comment. Jamie
@@tonysimons7218 Yeah, coffee grounds are very alive and mold up in my compost bucket very quickly. Once it's in he compost bin with the veg. scraps, it does really well.
You'll find mixing is a lot easier with a garden auger. They're sold for bulb planting but work great for mixing soil etc. Find one that's 3 inches in diameter. You'll love it.
Have you considered grinding the coffee grounds into a fine power then using stretch as a binder and sitting the Briquettes in the sun to help them dry much faster I think that might help extend the burn time for them But an excellent use of “waste” and can be profitable if you have people who might like to cook over open grills etc
Hang on. The Coffee has already been ground into fine powder. It's only the moisture that's holding it together. Once it's been in my bucket a few weeks there no sign of Coffee at all.
Yes it does! I've been making these for a long while, so I'm getting better at them. Have you subscribed? It helps me grow my channel if you can. Thank you Jamie

Woodshavings and coffee grounds can be used for compost loos which make excellent perfect mulch and compost. Very easy to do. 18 months later, petfect non smelling compost.
Thanks for the info. I hope others read through the comments and take something from them. This doesn't really surprise me. As we get older we learn that nature does find a way. It does take back and reclaim. I love abandoned old cars where the Brambles and grass, even trees are growing through them. The rusty layers slowly returning the metal back to its basic form, back to the earth.
I don't think it will make a good business, it's too slow. I'd rather it help people who can make their own variant. Their own supply to do their own thing.
Use to work for a charcuterie that regularly smoked fish and cheese, and we use to buy bagfulls of oak sawdust and offcuts to use in the smokers. One mans junk!
I first saw large amounts of sawdust at 17. I had family running a couple different bandsaw blade style sawmills. It was crazy just how fast it piled up! And it was just waste. No one wanted it and you couldn’t even give it away! Even the waste slabs people would dig for a hour just to get a truck load they thought where worthy of there fireplaces. We had to start charging them because of the giant messes they made that had to be cleaned up after. You would think the saw dust could be good at absorbing water to keep the ground solid instead of the giant pit of mud that it was. If I was a smart kid, I would have taken every spec of that sawdust and the waste of sawdust from mills in the few miles of each other and found a way to either make a press then and sell or at least store it in an area for sell to another company in bulk. The circular saw blade style mills in the area sold it by the tractor trailer truckload. I knew a log yard that collected all the sawdust from a chainsaw cutting area they setup to cut logs to the desired length, the Ned’s waxed over and placed in train shipping containers. That was the first time I saw that and the extra wax dripping worked great at binding the sawdust together. Like making fire starters with dryer lint and candle wax as boy scouts. Heck, I bet I could have used the empty 55gal drums we got fuel in to store it all in and let it dry out some before using it. Everyone wanted the big chips not the fine dust it seemed though.
I've been searching for a viable way of making coffee logs that would last a long time on the shelf. Very good. Now I need to get in touch with wood workers

Mix it in wheelbarrow with a shovel, BEFORE adding water, this will make it really easy. Then add water, mix a bit more, then make the bricks. Much easier.

I don't drink coffee, but it's usually something one can get at many shops. Some wood shops reuse their shavings, but I'd bet I could run a bunch of dried leaves through an old blender to make them more consistent for mixing and use old bread pans. Just subbed, too. Thanks.
That's a really cool idea! Don't forget used coffee grounds (can mix with water) are great fertilizer for the garden, degraded woodchips are great mulch (and also fresh[?] for compost toilets), and both in compost.
Apparently the coffee grounds as fertilizer thing is a myth. It's actually hydrophobic and causes water to avoid it and ultimately the plants. The grounds are also processed enough, right down to pulling the bean dust out, that there's nothing to leave behind. The decay way too long to be effective for gardening. One of those things that seems like it certainly should be good for gardening as a highly available source. That said, I like this video about using it for burning (though the prep time is quite long) and I've also seen great uses in construction as an alternative to many ingredients in concrete.
@@shawnmayo8210 Not so sure, because if you take those coffee grounds and mix in water you will still get a coffee like dark brew... something seems to be available. And if it were hydrophylic, it could help with soil drainage. Also, earthworms and bacteria will likely be doing their thing with it which will then probably be available for plants. Remember, you're not just directly feeding plants, you're feeding the biosphere, which in turn feeds the plant, to my understanding.
@@elijahsanders3547I use my coffee grounds in my garden soil, I mix them in so they are distributed throughout the soil, earthworms seem to like the mixture.
I Never understood why so many companies throw away so much waste, that they even pay for whilest you could easily find someone that would take it for free because it always have use
Brilliant idea to recycle coffee grounds and wood chips and dust, if you have a wood burning stove - thanks for sharing. As we don't have a wood burning stove, we use the coffee grounds as a fertiliser for our garden, works very well too.

If you want a good press like that, find your local blacksmith or metal fabricator! I'm certain that I could make a press like that easily, probably with scraps that I have on hand already. I wonder if those briquettes would get hot enough to run a forge? People have been forging with charcoal for thousands of years, so I bet that those would be useable in a forge that's set up for it.

The Used Coffee Grounds ( UCG ) go mouldy because they are exposed to air and have a large surface area for decomposing fungi to colonise. The easiest way to stop this is to submerse the UCGs in water while you're waiting for time to process them. You only need enough to cover them and that water will easily be absorbed by the sawdust and shavings. I supply my local coffee shop with a clean white 20L 5gal bucket and lid with my mobile number on the top and when they have it full they just txt me and I swap it out for another one or not, depending on my demand at the time. They are very understanding and it saves them money in waste disposal fees. ALSO. Your videos are informative, and your explanations, comprehensive and easy to follow. BUT Please work on your camera technique. Lots of "how too" videos on TH-cam AND it will help increase your patronage. Enjoy the journey Stephen from Kopu New Zealand

Nice. My only worry would be the mold on that first batch of spent coffee pucks you put into the batch. The other coffee set didn’t look to have mold. I have a beautiful garden from composted coffee, no wood trimmings. Thank-you!

I admire the process, as a nurse I am concerned about the mold spores you are breathing. An air cleaner with mold filter is needed for your lungs. Bless you.
Okay I get the mold thing I really bothering a lot of people. But it's mixed in with the shavings and covered with a plastic bag for a few weeks. I can wear a mask, mix it up and then recover again for a few weeks 👍 I think it'll be okay. I can't waste (my time and heating the oven) taking the coffee grounds home to sterilise them in the oven and them bring them back to the workshop, to only wet them again to get them to Compost. It doesn't make sense in my head.

I have found that my 3-inch Planting Auger is a superior mixer in that it brings materials from bottom to top consistently and doesn’t strike my sides. Now using a small electric mortar mixer. Great looking wood work.
Sadly many don't know or care but all that waist is useful to small and large growing farms . Both the coffee grounds and the ash from the briquettes Will help nutrients into the ground that gets depleted from continuous growing . The wood shavings is a good idea to use as burn bricks .

I've used loads on mine too. But the way it works so well with my wood shavings, to make fuel serves me better these days. Who knows what I'll be doing with it in a year or two 😉
Same here with my coffee grounds. Every morning. I take our French press from the day before which has four scoops of coffee pressed in the bottom of it. Put some water in it, swirl it and toss it on my lawn.

This is a great idea! In my university environmental science classes, they taught us about common foods and their different nutrient compositions, but I only just now realized that coffee's is almost identical to natural peat. The only thing it would be missing is some extra carbon and it's a bit too acidic, both of which are fixed by adding hardwood sawdust. You've essentially created an accelerated process of making peat! Mind if I email this vid to my old prof at UNM? He'd love it!
Jenna. You are welcome to share the video. I've a playlist Briquettes, make & burn 🔥🔥🔥🔥 🔥: th-cam.com/play/PLomQ4jxG80doKGlqFJ__qCpKJMK08K8TA.html I've been saying for Months that this process is like artificially creating Peat. I've never used peat for burning. However I did have a visitor in my workshop who told me it was almost exactly the same smell as peat. He was gobsmacked at what I was creating in the corner of my workshop. I should add he was from Ireland, had burnt peat and knew a thing or two about Briquette Making but not leaving it for a few weeks.
Please share the info and I welcome any chat about it.
I live in Albuquerque NM! Awesome...😂
I just love this so useful, why not!!! They must smell amazing, thinking about camping, would they smell like coffee and peat, sounds kinda scrumptious actually!
Peat is an ingredient in making Scotch. Hmmmm...
This is the 1st video of yours that I've run across, & I'm quite happy about it! Once I find a woodworking shop that will happily donate sawdust to my endeavor, I will be doing this straightaway! My daughter has a coffee shop, & I already use the grounds in my soap, but she definitely has more that is sadly going to waste! I'd share, but I'm in the States!
Do you ever have any issues with mold developing? I've tried to dry out the loose grounds for use in my soaps, & every batch that I've dried to air dry has molded! I've had to go to putting it in the oven, but I'd really prefer not to waste the electricity! I know that burning the briquettes that I'll be making would offset that cost, but I'd rather come out ahead! 😁
Thank you for what you've shared, and hopefully a tip about why my grounds mold!

That's fantastic, thanks man! Where I'm from (Poland) cities also use used coffee to de-ice pavements in winter. It works a treat and doesn't destroy the soil with salt 😁
Wow. That sounds brilliant. I'd not heard of that.
Does it just cover the ice to make a non slippery surface? Or does it actually melt the ice somehow?
It's always nice to see waste products be used to make something useful like that. This is really smart.

This may sound crazy, but I'm fascinated by this technique because what you're making here looks like a great mushroom substrate. Coffee grounds alone are nutritious but because of that they mold so fast they usually go to waste. Seeing these as bricks you can save for later or even wet in a bucket not moldy is giving me all sorts of ideas.
Brilliant. Let me know what you get up too. If you share on here others will be open to it too. Sharing is key. Thanks for watching. Jamie
there's a lot of green mold in there.
but you can easily pasteurized the bricks. however they may fall apart when fully hydrated. something to think about though. maybe a modified tech...

As mushroom grower i use allot of wood chips/shavings/dust and coffee grounds. It's the cheapest substrate i can acquire, it mix with other more nutrient dense stuff. But i love the fact that i can get 1m3 of a shavings for less then 10£😊

In Germany, we put used coffee grounds into the compost bin. The council picks it up and makes compost that is resold to the public at a profit. That lowers our Waste Management bills. I think making fuel from them is a good idea, but it's not the only option. Coffee grounds are a valuable resource, don't waste it on a landfill.

WEAR A REBREATHER BUD... you'd be shocked at the damage you can do breathing that crap in... especially the mold on the coffee. your lungs cannot expel most fine particulate, so it stays there forever... 3M has some excellent options for $20
I also think your mixing would be far more efficient with a "propeller" shaped mixing bit for your drill... not sure the official name for it, but I have one and it's like magic...
also, I cant remember what it's called, I believe it's "AERATION" but there are videos of men mixing concrete... they drop a wand/mixer into the wet cement, and IN SECONDS, the concrete is mixed perfectly and ALL AIR BROUGHT TO THE SURFACE... amazing to see... it's dont with HIGH VIBRATION...
you said these bricks work best when packed as evenly and tightly as possible, so in my opinion, this method of aerating, vibrating the mix (perhaps after your initial drill bit mix) would be the best possible way to evenly distribute all ingredients, and therefore achieve the tightest pack.
hope this helps!!!! LOVE THE VIDEO -- EPIC BEARD!!!!!!
EDIT: JUST GOOGLED IT FOR YOU....
it's called "IMMERSION " or "INTERNAL" VIBRATING...
if you google "WHY USE A CONCRETE VIBRATOR" and scroll until you find a result from a website called DYCONCRETEPUMPS , you'll find their info page on it..
This method improves STRENGTH AND DENSITY, REMOVES AIR, and provides a more uniform mixture, making the finished product that much more durable.. if applied to your bricks, i'd imagine this would only make them DRY FASTER AND BURN LONGER
there seems to be a specific technique to it for ideal results, but this info is detailed on the website.. and there seems to be plenty of DIY ways to achieve this internal immersion vibration without spending big bucks on a concrete vibrator
OK - NOW IM DONE! hope you try it out and it yields greater results
Wow.. Thank you. And the video was done without a mask for speed. I do wear one nowadays as the process is probably more suited to the great outdoors (free ventilation) have you subscribed?
I think you should
Thanks again
Jamie
@@twcmaker yes I subbed earlier!! And no need to thank me!! Consider it an exchange of knowledge, yours for mine!! Isnt that the way its supposed to be?? I recommend watching a video or 2 on this immersion vibration method (with cement) .... what occurs in such a short timeframe is so amazing IT LOOKS FAKE...
Again, it must be done in a specific way for best results (which I believe is simply starting low and steadily lifting your "BIT" up and out... in other words, too much is no good..
I hope you find a cost effective method (consider using air compressor tools for max vibration maybe?) and see an improvement in your bricks.
Ill be watching!
I've thought about this. I think the briquettes would have to be deeper than the 45mm. And it would add more effort.
Initial thoughts. I'll think about how/if it could work.
There's always the design principle (had to Google it)
Keep it simple, stupid (KISS) is a design principle which states that designs and/or systems should be as simple as possible. Wherever possible, complexity should be avoided in a system-as simplicity guarantees the greatest levels of user acceptance and interaction.
Time will tell.
Someone years ago mentioned in a comment to use less water. And it was only after I left it too long in the bucket I stumbled on the composted method.
Thanks again
Jamie
@@twcmaker well, im not totally sure which parts you're thinking are NOT simplfied, but I will remind you of this one thing... All the evidence we have of ancient civilizations shows us that they had a MASTERFUL understanding of frequency/vibration/energy... Its believed that many of the unexplained structures we marvel at today and cannot replicate were in fact created WiTH EASE thanks to their deep knowledge of this... We also know that allegedly the "Romans" had a cement SO STRONG & LONG LASTING that WE CANNOT MAKE TODAY because we cant figure out how they did it...
I say they used the simpelst methods possible... I think the harnessing of energy with frequency and utilizing the tools of nature (such as water) was SO COMMONLY USED that they thought nothing of it.
Just some food for thought..
That said, I just remembered another DIY vibration method you can try to see if things pan out a little better for you..
Instead of "INTERNAL" vibration, try EXTERNAL..
The simplest way to do this on a tight budget would be a plug-in palm sander (without the sandpaper)... Strap it tight to your mixing bucket and FLIP THE SWITCH... everything in that bucket will have the ride of its life.
The concrete tool is a vibrator. Search concrete vibrator or you'll get the adult one.
I love it!! I'm a big coffee drinker, 12 cups a day. I would use some of the coffee grounds in our compost for the garden. We also use a wood stove to heat our house. All the chips from cutting logs could get mixed with the coffee grounds and either burned in our stove or even for summer campfires. What a fabulous idea. I think I'll have to try it. No waste! I love it!!
I love this Kim. Thank you
I feel compelled to tell you: 12 cups of caffeinated coffee per day is well over 2 Grams of caffeine which is toxic! Over 10 grams per day can be fatal. ❤ Hopefully, you're drinking decaf!
12 cups!
I can only do 2 max.
@@geobus3307 I know a few people who drink that much. You build up a tolerance to it. A few of them end up with heart palpitations if they *don't* get their coffee at this point.
I started something similar with my kids old school books. A4 papers..endless, but I never knew about coffee before thanks. They all thought I was cuckoo. But we're impressed when we lit the fire again.

I just collect the woodscraps, sawdust and bark in paper bags, cornflakes packages and similiar, or just in an open ibc container, that sits in our shed.
When the winter comes i just scoop up a few kg sawdust/bark/woodchips during each startup of the boiler, and mix with regular wood.
I burn about 300kg of this type of free fuel each year. I dont have any more. I dont know if i have a good boiler (28kW/with fan), but it burns well and require very little effort, as long as i dont add too much.
So depending on your boiler, it may not even require making a briquette.
Good to recycle the coffe grounds as well as sawdust. Every kWh counts.
That's a huge boiler 28kw mine is in my home and only a 5kw (4.5kw with 3ft exposed flue) Your system works. We all have to do our bit to save giving more ££s to the corporations.

As someone who makes these myself, that white stuff on your coffee grounds is mold. DO NOT USE MOLDY COFFEE GROUNDS! that mold is super toxic when burned and it will cause long term health problems if you breathe the smoke. If you're going to use grounds, they need to be left out in a thin layer to dry completely when they're still fresh. You can still use grounds from your local coffee shop, but make sure they're from that day only, and make sure you lay them out in a thin layer to dry as soon as you get them home and DO NOT LET THEM SIT IN THE BAG WHILE THEY'RE WET. other than that, these look great. Stay safe!
I burn these on my Log burner. And that mold gets MIXED in the bucket and goes. It does sometimes show on the outside of the briquette and dries within a day or so. My workshop is very dry so the mold doesn't accelerate and dies back.
The fumes are in the chimney when burning with the log burner door closed.
th-cam.com/video/KM2BE46i-EU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=m_haE9QARoNPAJT1
No it won't
It won't what?
@@TheZombieSaints I assume you're saying it won't cause long-term health effects. If you're burning them the way this creator is, you're probably fine. If you have any sort of open fire where you're exposed to the smoke, it absolutely will. Now, you're welcome to provide evidence to the contrary, though I doubt you're going to be able to find anything saying the fumes from burnt mold are not bad for you. Or you can just use moldy logs if that's your perogative. I sell a lot of my logs, and I'd never take that risk with customers since there is no way of knowing how they are using the logs, and i care about their health.
Transfer your dry ingredients back and forth between two buckets... your ingredients will be pre-mixed, then add your water and stir with your wand till the water has penetrated the mash. LOT LESS labor.
The gardener in me wants to try your mix as a soil additive!
Great video!
Great tip! Thank you. I need another bucket 🙈 And it's great on the garden 👌
@@twcmaker If you had a small cement mixer that would work even better than the two buckets.
It would. Do you think I should get one to use for about 5 minutes, once or twice a month?
@@twcmaker LOL! Nope. We have one but just because we do remodeling work and need to mix cement on a regular basis.
A little extra work never killed anybody & it builds character... according to my grandpa anyway.
I get your Grandpa. Sometimes these things are just what you have to do.

After college, while career shopping, I worked as a substitute teacher. I made friends with the shop teacher and he let me take boxes of scrap home to the wood stove. It wasn’t enough to heat my cabin by itself, since it burned too fast, but it also burned so hot I could use greener wood from the surrounding forest.
My job took me back to civilization, but I was planning to make bricks like these using litter from the forest floor mixed in with ‘cement’ from my composting toilet.
Ahh that's very cool. Well done
You could round off the corners of the scrap to make it burn slower, even sand it smooth, just a thought

So nice of you. Thank you. I was just trying to make my life easier. That's turned into helping others all over the World. Not too bad eh.
I just bought some coffee press logs for camping last week. I use coffee beans as a car freshener and home fragrance, so I was excited to try these logs. I didnt notice at the time that the label says burns about 75% cleaner than wood, which is a bonus. And yeah I was disappointed that they didnt fill the campsite with the aroma. But they did burn clean and even. And they burned for several hours each. Love this! And I bet it would keep spiders and other critters out of the firewood piles. Win, win!
Definitely a Win, Win.

I'm American, so you all know how we are with our coffee. We can't live without it, but it's mostly trash. Because of the secret depression we are in, well, most of the world is in, I've started reusing my grounds. I use an electric percolator and we are drinking it all day so when I make another pot in the afternoon I add just a bit of new coffee to the morning grounds so it's just a tad lighter than the first pot which is great for the evening. Then the grounds either go in the compost or straight to my gardens. We are also restoring my old farmhouse, so lots of shavings and sawdust. The shavings get saved for the chicken coop nesting, and the saw dust goes in our cat's pan. But we also have a wood stove, so I'm definitely going to try this as well. I bet it makes just the most wonderful kindling. Thank you for this wonderful idea.
Thank you for this. This all sounds perfect.
If I break the briquettes into 4 pieces and just a couple of bits of wood it starts the fire off brilliantly.

I use all my grounds for home in the compost pile. I have know people who are wood workers, and a friend who just opened a coffee shop (and frenz who work at the starbucks down the way). I love the Permaculture aspect to this (every output is the next input thing).
Gotta watch the rest of your vidjays and get yet anoher side-project going. Thanks for posting.
You said that better than I did. One more thing I can add. The Ash from the burning of the briquettes (is sometimes) can be used as a natural pottery glaze. I've not been asked for any in a while. Especially since using the Coffee grounds. But apparently the wood only briquettes make wonderful Ash.
@@twcmaker, I save my hardwood ash to make lye soap. Making pottery glazes is a whole other world of fire, chemistry, alchemy, and witchcraft. I want to make some tiles later this summer/fall. The wood ash makes sense as there are various minerals and sals in ash depending on species, environment, etc. Yet another rabbit hole to explore.
Huge rabbit hole 🕳 but so worthy.
I put coffee grounds in my compost for awhile, so I’m excited to find a new way for reuse

I can burn a 44 gallon drum of sawdust with no smoke created after the 1st 10 minutes. 1. 44 gallon drum with let's say a 50mm hole in the bottom of the drum in the centre. 2. You have a pole or tube that reaches from the hole in the bottom whilst covering the hole to the very top of the drum. 3. Add your sawdust then cover the top with sand, preventing the sawdust on the top from burning.
4. Have the drum on top of some bricks or install legs on the drum so as it's raised off the ground 200mm or so, allowing it to breathe from underneath. 5. Roll up some newspaper, remove the pole or pipe former very carefully to not make the sawdust collapse down the hole left from the pole. 6. Insert the paper to the bottom of the hole in the sawdust carefully and ignite. This will smoke badly for about 10 minutes then it'll burn pretty much with no smoke for about 10 hours. 🇦🇺
That's brilliant. And you use this in your home?
@@twcmaker outside in my yard. I'm not sure how you might go with insurance if one has a non approved wood heater installed in one's workshop. Btw, you don't touch the sawdust burner once it's let. If you do it'll probably collapse in on itself. It's like a candle, it just feeds on its self till it goes out. Try it on a smaller scale, like say a large coffee tin or 20L metal paint bucket.
Instead of using the drill with the mixer blade, use a cement mixer! Bigger batches can be mixed with a better coffee grounds to wood chips and residue ratio. You can tip out the mixture straight into the brick molds, thus saving moving heavy buckets around.
Are you serious? I've got a Woodworking workshop where I mix with a drill for 10-15 minutes per month. Do you think I should bring in a Cement mixer, spend time filling it up, using it for a few minutes, to then spend time cleaning it out...🙈 Then store it in my space for a month without use, only to.. 🙈
There is no logic to what you are suggesting.
Others out there are welcome to try it. I have talked with someone at the City of Chicago. They might be doing it on a much larger scale than me. But they will be using excavators.
Thank you for your comment.
Jamie
@@twcmakerThen disregard my suggestion. Keep doing what you’re doing and have a good day.
Make sure that the wood shavings are not from treated wood as it gives off toxic fumes when burning..
I don't have treated wood. But you're right. Timber treated for outdoors can be nasty stuff.
Will go great will the moldy coffee grounds he was sniffing 😂
Definitely avoid treated/engineered wood products.
@@tonysimons7218 Yeah, coffee grounds are very alive and mold up in my compost bucket very quickly.
Once it's in he compost bin with the veg. scraps, it does really well.
You'll find mixing is a lot easier with a garden auger. They're sold for bulb planting but work great for mixing soil etc. Find one that's 3 inches in diameter. You'll love it.
Thanks for the tip. I'll see what I can find. If you see one, could you send a link please. Thanks again. Jamie
Have you considered grinding the coffee grounds into a fine power then using stretch as a binder and sitting the Briquettes in the sun to help them dry much faster
I think that might help extend the burn time for them
But an excellent use of “waste” and can be profitable if you have people who might like to cook over open grills etc
Hang on. The Coffee has already been ground into fine powder. It's only the moisture that's holding it together.
Once it's been in my bucket a few weeks there no sign of Coffee at all.

Woodshavings and coffee grounds can be used for compost loos which make excellent perfect mulch and compost. Very easy to do. 18 months later, petfect non smelling compost.
Thanks for the info.
I hope others read through the comments and take something from them. This doesn't really surprise me. As we get older we learn that nature does find a way. It does take back and reclaim. I love abandoned old cars where the Brambles and grass, even trees are growing through them. The rusty layers slowly returning the metal back to its basic form, back to the earth.
I use my coffee grounds around my trees and garden twice a year. Then put the rest in the compost pile. @twcmaker
GREAT stuff!! I’m impressed. I’m pretty sure people will fly with this as a business idea..
I don't think it will make a good business, it's too slow.
I'd rather it help people who can make their own variant. Their own supply to do their own thing.
@@twcmaker yeah for sure.

Use to work for a charcuterie that regularly smoked fish and cheese, and we use to buy bagfulls of oak sawdust and offcuts to use in the smokers. One mans junk!
Love it 👌 👌 👌
Spot on!
I first saw large amounts of sawdust at 17. I had family running a couple different bandsaw blade style sawmills. It was crazy just how fast it piled up! And it was just waste. No one wanted it and you couldn’t even give it away! Even the waste slabs people would dig for a hour just to get a truck load they thought where worthy of there fireplaces. We had to start charging them because of the giant messes they made that had to be cleaned up after. You would think the saw dust could be good at absorbing water to keep the ground solid instead of the giant pit of mud that it was. If I was a smart kid, I would have taken every spec of that sawdust and the waste of sawdust from mills in the few miles of each other and found a way to either make a press then and sell or at least store it in an area for sell to another company in bulk. The circular saw blade style mills in the area sold it by the tractor trailer truckload. I knew a log yard that collected all the sawdust from a chainsaw cutting area they setup to cut logs to the desired length, the Ned’s waxed over and placed in train shipping containers. That was the first time I saw that and the extra wax dripping worked great at binding the sawdust together. Like making fire starters with dryer lint and candle wax as boy scouts. Heck, I bet I could have used the empty 55gal drums we got fuel in to store it all in and let it dry out some before using it. Everyone wanted the big chips not the fine dust it seemed though.

Mix it in wheelbarrow with a shovel, BEFORE adding water, this will make it really easy. Then add water, mix a bit more, then make the bricks. Much easier.
@@Machria23 I really should have thought of that.

a old cement mixer would be an asset for mixing

I don't drink coffee, but it's usually something one can get at many shops. Some wood shops reuse their shavings, but I'd bet I could run a bunch of dried leaves through an old blender to make them more consistent for mixing and use old bread pans. Just subbed, too. Thanks.
That sounds just perfect 👌
Let me know how you get on.
And thanks for the sub.

I was just thinking leaves also, as I have several oak trees and about to have lots of leaves.
Autumn leaves and Coffee grounds 👌👌👌

That's a really cool idea! Don't forget used coffee grounds (can mix with water) are great fertilizer for the garden, degraded woodchips are great mulch (and also fresh[?] for compost toilets), and both in compost.
You got it 👍👍👍
Apparently the coffee grounds as fertilizer thing is a myth. It's actually hydrophobic and causes water to avoid it and ultimately the plants. The grounds are also processed enough, right down to pulling the bean dust out, that there's nothing to leave behind. The decay way too long to be effective for gardening. One of those things that seems like it certainly should be good for gardening as a highly available source. That said, I like this video about using it for burning (though the prep time is quite long) and I've also seen great uses in construction as an alternative to many ingredients in concrete.
@@shawnmayo8210 Not so sure, because if you take those coffee grounds and mix in water you will still get a coffee like dark brew... something seems to be available. And if it were hydrophylic, it could help with soil drainage. Also, earthworms and bacteria will likely be doing their thing with it which will then probably be available for plants. Remember, you're not just directly feeding plants, you're feeding the biosphere, which in turn feeds the plant, to my understanding.
@@elijahsanders3547I use my coffee grounds in my garden soil, I mix them in so they are distributed throughout the soil, earthworms seem to like the mixture.

I Never understood why so many companies throw away so much waste, that they even pay for whilest you could easily find someone that would take it for free because it always have use
It's crazy that these big companies haven't solved their own waste problems
Brilliant idea to recycle coffee grounds and wood chips and dust, if you have a wood burning stove - thanks for sharing.
As we don't have a wood burning stove, we use the coffee grounds as a fertiliser for our garden, works very well too.
That's perfect too!!

If you want a good press like that, find your local blacksmith or metal fabricator! I'm certain that I could make a press like that easily, probably with scraps that I have on hand already. I wonder if those briquettes would get hot enough to run a forge? People have been forging with charcoal for thousands of years, so I bet that those would be useable in a forge that's set up for it.

The Used Coffee Grounds ( UCG ) go mouldy because they are exposed to air and have a large surface area for decomposing fungi to colonise.
The easiest way to stop this is to submerse the UCGs in water while you're waiting for time to process them.
You only need enough to cover them and that water will easily be absorbed by the sawdust and shavings.
I supply my local coffee shop with a clean white 20L 5gal bucket and lid with my mobile number on the top and when they have it full they just txt me and I swap it out for another one or not, depending on my demand at the time. They are very understanding and it saves them money in waste disposal fees.
ALSO.
Your videos are informative, and your explanations, comprehensive and easy to follow.
BUT
Please work on your camera technique. Lots of "how too" videos on TH-cam AND it will help increase your patronage.

Nice. My only worry would be the mold on that first batch of spent coffee pucks you put into the batch. The other coffee set didn’t look to have mold.
I have a beautiful garden from composted coffee, no wood trimmings.
Thank-you!
The mold is a great way to start the decomposing process.
So you've used composted Coffee grounds before? Did they go moldy?

I admire the process, as a nurse I am concerned about the mold spores you are breathing. An air cleaner with mold filter is needed for your lungs. Bless you.
I wear a mask more often these says. But I also don't touch it for a good while and wear the mask.
Thank you for watching
Jamie
Maybe baking the grounds at a high temperature to kill any spores?
Okay I get the mold thing I really bothering a lot of people. But it's mixed in with the shavings and covered with a plastic bag for a few weeks. I can wear a mask, mix it up and then recover again for a few weeks 👍 I think it'll be okay.
I can't waste (my time and heating the oven) taking the coffee grounds home to sterilise them in the oven and them bring them back to the workshop, to only wet them again to get them to Compost. It doesn't make sense in my head.
Great way to not waste anything. Love it.

Sadly many don't know or care but all that waist is useful to small and large growing farms . Both the coffee grounds and the ash from the briquettes Will help nutrients into the ground that gets depleted from continuous growing . The wood shavings is a good idea to use as burn bricks .

I used to roast coffee and sell it online. Pretty much all of my coffee waste went into my garden
I've used loads on mine too. But the way it works so well with my wood shavings, to make fuel serves me better these days. Who knows what I'll be doing with it in a year or two 😉
Same here with my coffee grounds. Every morning. I take our French press from the day before which has four scoops of coffee pressed in the bottom of it. Put some water in it, swirl it and toss it on my lawn.
That's cool 👍
