We explore surprising uses for coffee grounds, debunk common coffee myths, and share expert brewing techniques to elevate your daily cup. Our conversation reveals how coffee science impacts everything from construction to kitchen hacks, with special attention to flavor enhancement methods you've likely never tried.
• Coffee grounds are being used to strengthen concrete in construction applications
• Used coffee grounds can help clear sink drains naturally, but shouldn't be used with garbage disposals
• Café Bustelo isn't as strong as its reputation suggests—it's actually a medium roast with fine, "muddy" grounds
• The ideal coffee-to-water ratio is three teaspoons per two ounces of water for optimal strength
• Adding just 4-6 salt crystals to coffee enhances flavor without tasting salty—works for spirits too
• Decaffeinated coffee offers flavor enjoyment without the health impacts of caffeine
