coffee for crafts

[Square Mile Coffee]

Hello!
Hope I'm posting in the right place!

I run a little coffee roastery in Bethnal Green, London, and I was just wondering if any of you ever needed coffee beans to make candles or other crafts with? I tend to accumulate good quantities of waste/ test roasts that I cannot sell, they're not very drinkable, and I'm looking for a way of disposing of them without them going in the bin!

I'm afraid I can't deliver, but if anyone ever needs any beans, they are free on collection in 12-13 kg bags from the roastery. Just drop me a line first so I can make sure someone is in to help!

Thank you and kind regards,

Anette Moldvaer

Wow, no use to me personally, but that's really nice of you.

[PeggyCrafts]

aw, how kind!

apparently, used coffee beans also make really good fertiliser for plants growing in the soil, too!

What a nice person you are!

(welcome)Nice to see you here. I am sure you will get some takers for your kind offer. Will you be staying with us or is this just a one-off, I am sure you will be made most welcome.

Hi

(welcome) to the forum, what a very kind and generous offer.

I could certainly use a few kilos, just a shame you are so far away.

Do you offer your grounds for people's gardens? Starbuck's does that - it might be a nice marketing thing for you to do...

This thread was almost exactly 12 months ago and sadly it was the only post made bny the coffee person. I wonder if they got rid of all their beans?

[sherrielinda]

well spotted about the thread being so old, must check posts in future, this one caught me out.

Looks like they are still around and doing very well for themselves :)

I guess if anyone was really keen to get there hands on some you could always ask and offer to pay a nominal fee?
