Coffee lovers who are fond of using K-Cups know that they pile up in just a snap. Sometimes, we run out of ideas for what to do with used K-Cups! Instead of throwing them out of the trash bin, why not create K Cup crafts out of them? Here are 12 fun ideas for recycling your used cups!
Make More Coffee
Can you reuse K cups to make more coffee? You sure can.
Make your own K cups by filling your old K-cup up. Slap on a K-cup cap, and then brew as you would an unused K-cup. You can buy caps here.
Freezing Herbs
Use K-Cups to preserve your herbs. Place your herbs in an old K-Cup. Pour some water or olive oil in with your herbs and freeze.
Pull out of the cup when you’re ready to use. They are great for tossing into soups and sauces.
Coffee Ice Cubes
Use your K-Cups to make coffee ice cubes. Just pour some coffee in and freeze it. They won’t water down your ice coffee.
