Question

How many times do you reuse coffee grounds in a coffee maker?

Answer 1

only use coffee grounds once

or else you will end up with either a really weak or strong coffee and it will not taste verry great......

yuck!......

:D

Answer 2

Never!  I brew a fresh pot of coffee each time with fresh coffee grounds.

Answer 3

why would you re-use....?

thats pointless

Answer 4

None.

Answer 5

NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER EVER!

Answer 6

None.  It won't hurt you, but it will be extremely weak and blah tasting and will have very little caffeine left.

Answer 7

I don't because all the essential oils would be removed, the best part of the coffee as far as I'm concerned.

But the grounds and paper filter go into my garden and get composted.

I've reused a tea bag before, but the grounds would be too weak too reuse in my estimate.

Answer 8

None -- I brew coffee with new grounds every time.

Answer 9

I've never tried it. I wouldn't think the coffee would taste very good with already used grounds, but then again, I've never tried it. I would think it would be very watery...

Answer 10

I've not heard of anyone reusing coffee grounds.  Doesn't seem like that'd make good coffee...

Of course, camp coffee is entirely different.  You just keep adding grounds and water to the pot and keep it on the fire all the time anyway.  ;)

Answer 11

Gross, NEVER!!!!

(although i have to admit, i worked in a nursing home in high school, and when we had a breakfast rush, i would use the Decaf grounds twice, it was decaf anyway) - i feel bad about that now that i am grown up.
