FRESHEN YOUR BREATH • What to do when you’re all out of peppermints or breath fresheners? Just suck on a coffee bean for a while and your mouth will smell clean and fresh again.
REMOVE FOUL ODORS FROM HANDS • If your hands smell of garlic, fish, or other strong foods you’ve been handling, a few coffee beans may be all you need to get rid of the odor. Put the beans in your hands and rub them together. The oil released from the coffee beans will absorb the foul smell. When the odor is gone, wash your hands thoroughly in warm, soapy water.
FILL A BEANBAG • They don’t call them beanbags for nothing. Coffee beans are ideal for using as beanbag filler, but with the price of coffee these days it’s a good idea to wait for a sale and then buy the cheapest beans available.
