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...
"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
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.
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. (Don't mean for this to come off rude, but I'm an English teacher so sometimes i can't help myself lol)

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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.)
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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 🥺
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
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 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.
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!
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 would agree that 5 Minute Crafts needs to be stopped except that "professional tries 5mc hacks" is one of my favorite genres of TH-cam video, so... thank you for taking one for the team!
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!
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.
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 TH-camr 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.
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?
Hey, lomi is a scam for what it's worth. Please do some research before buying one! Also your taste in books is perfect. Evelyn hugo, cemetary boys, scythe, orange tree, so many amazing books! (though iron widow and she who became the sun needs to be added hehe)
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
@@leaalbrecht3838 it isn't environnementally friendly as it claims, it doesn't produce compost just chops down and dessicates food waste, wasting tons of energy in the process, the end result if you're lucky is the start of compost. It also stinks despite the marketing claims. Thunderfoot has a video on it if you want more detail
Slightly longer form answer: "compost" is a complex biological decomposition process that takes time (weeks to months, not hours). Lomi and similar devices just chop up your food scraps and dry them out. When the device works as advertised it produces what the manufacturer claims is something that you can then use to create compost, but not compost itself. The reason this is bad is because it uses a huge amount of electricity in the process. So much, that even if it produced actual compost it would still be an environmental disaster from an energy use standpoint. Throwing food scraps in the trash is really low on the environmental impact scale compared to other things in your life (if you're in the target demographic for this product). You'll have more of an impact by reducing food waste in the first place, buying more local produce, and reducing food packaging waste - if you care to. And just buy some regular potting soil when you need it. Don't import a plastic machine from China.
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.
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.
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....
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)
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.
Mod Podge, you need Mod Podge or Elmer's School Glue for this wine bottle project. from the little they showed it looked like they were using a white PVA glue. so Mod Podge or Elmers
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.

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
@@pooolB Mealy bugs are the worst!
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
@@drthmik So don't place directly but mix in with the general compost? (Seeking tips for the future.) 🙂
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
This one was fun. Thank you for your hard work on this video ✌️☕🥂💜💙❤️
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.
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!
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 think “it’s time for an agitation break” is a brand new sentence
The coffee grounds hack is not only good for the soil in your garden beds. Coffee grounds will repeal mosquitoes and kill mosquito larvae.
Stoner here! I use coffee grinds to get rid of that dank weed smell, it works wonders.
I use coffee ground as an exfoliating treatment and it’s great.
Morgan: Maybe we can dunk it in coffee
The Coffee Sink: Am I a joke to you?
Because of the coffee pigments, you can also use them for hair color. That's why it also works on fabrics.😊😊
I would agree that 5 Minute Crafts needs to be stopped except that "professional tries 5mc hacks" is one of my favorite genres of TH-cam video, so... thank you for taking one for the team!
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!
It's a strong video, but the best bit is the jumping cat microwave reflection at 2:50
This is a terrifying notification to receive
Excellent
@@morgandrinkscoffee 😂😭
Makes sense, its 5-min crafts
I liked the part about the bread maker for dirt
Looking forward to seeing you at the WBC, you're going to do great!
Flabbergasted at the number of Jot bottles in your fridge 😂 great video as always.
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.
"There's literally ewh." This wisdom needs to be on a shirt. I would wear it on Mondays.
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.
You’re kitchen is so pretty! :)
Your vids are so soothing
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 TH-camr 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.
5MC is a cancer to the internet, but your videos make me almost happy they exist.
Landlord washingmachine deserves to be a childrensbook!
The cat hopping at 2:51!
I love how Morrigan ends up making the tutorial instead of 5-Minute Crafts 😂
I personally choose to believe that Morgan's landlord is a washing machine
“Now it’s time for an agitation break!”
Oh, I just read the news for that…
"Time for an agitation break." Ahh, me after writing for 3 hours straight.
You should dunk the filter bottle in the coffee sink!
I shall now and forever call any immersion brewing method: coffee sink
Appreciate the low key 'Take Me Out To The Ball Game' in the background ⚾🎶
We made coffee sink. Oh yes love this
for the wood scratches you can use a walnut instead of coffee grounds
Hot coffee grounds, or just hot water might fix small dents on wood. Just steam will do as well. Not scratches though.
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.
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?

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?"
Eucalyptus oil / Cajuput oil removes glue residues from labels like magic.
perfect timing, was just catching up on your vids
Hey, lomi is a scam for what it's worth. Please do some research before buying one!
Also your taste in books is perfect. Evelyn hugo, cemetary boys, scythe, orange tree, so many amazing books! (though iron widow and she who became the sun needs to be added hehe)
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
Please don't take lomi sponsorships it's a scam product
This is a serious question, I don't know anything about them, can you explain what's scammy about them?
@@leaalbrecht3838 it isn't environnementally friendly as it claims, it doesn't produce compost just chops down and dessicates food waste, wasting tons of energy in the process, the end result if you're lucky is the start of compost. It also stinks despite the marketing claims. Thunderfoot has a video on it if you want more detail
Slightly longer form answer: "compost" is a complex biological decomposition process that takes time (weeks to months, not hours). Lomi and similar devices just chop up your food scraps and dry them out. When the device works as advertised it produces what the manufacturer claims is something that you can then use to create compost, but not compost itself.
The reason this is bad is because it uses a huge amount of electricity in the process. So much, that even if it produced actual compost it would still be an environmental disaster from an energy use standpoint.
Throwing food scraps in the trash is really low on the environmental impact scale compared to other things in your life (if you're in the target demographic for this product). You'll have more of an impact by reducing food waste in the first place, buying more local produce, and reducing food packaging waste - if you care to.
And just buy some regular potting soil when you need it. Don't import a plastic machine from China.
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.
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.
Hair dryer to any glued label will soften the glue and will peel right off! 😊
Or WD-40 will dissolve it
I heard ya say fertilizer and instantly thought of lomi. they look so incredible
And are utterly useless ways of wasting energy.
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 😅
When you started using super glue I lost it 🤣🤣
Mod podge 🤣
For the scratched wood… an oily nut like walnut or macadamia nut rubbed into the wood scratch makes the scratch disappear.
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....
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.
Darker blacks AND coffee smelling clothes? Yes please.
TEEN SHELDON!!
If you know, you know 😉😆
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.
I like the slides
OMG you're the real life Sailor Uranus!!!
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...
at 7:28 it's a whole new "Morgan Spills Coffee - on purpose"
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
To neatly remove a label from a bottle use a blow drier or a heat gun.
Slather that bottle with some modgepodge glue and it’ll be supper nice.
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.
Mod Podge, you need Mod Podge or Elmer's School Glue for this wine bottle project. from the little they showed it looked like they were using a white PVA glue. so Mod Podge or Elmers
it would probably work also with grounded coffee, we did it at school all the time using glue and flour to create sort of winter glass decorations.
its the super glue for me
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.
