My kcups go in the garbage can...

The city can compost them after the plastic cup the grounds are in biodegrades after 10,000 years...

I think in Russia they use them in concrete.

I fling my used espresso pucks into some convenient bushes.

I feed it to my worms and compost the rest.

We take ours and put them in a large plastic bag, along with other elements of civilization, and place them at the curb each week.

From there they are carried to a large sealed repository for future generations to study.

Aluminum cans are often included as a reward.

I stuff them in my ears whenever Obama or Hillary is speaking. Dark roast is densest & works best.

Coffee grounds (and filters) get tossed into the compost piles.
We have two 4 X 4 X 4 chicken-wire enclosures in the way-back.
Coffee grinds, kitchen waste (no meats, dairy, or oils), ground-up leaves, wood stove ash, etc. - shovel-full of lime and stir bi-monthly with a pitch fork.

Use some of them in Brisket smoking marinade and BarBQ sauce.

When I used to supply a bait shop with night crawlers and red worms, I dumped the grounds into a base of regular soil. They grew so good I actually had bait shops contracting with me for weekly orders.

You might need to add granulated limestone if the soil gets sour. Powdered limestone or processed lime can cause problems with soil aeration and composition.

Save them in a coffee can. by the time Obama gets through with us, it'll be your only source. You can smuggle them into the camp and use them as cash./s <=======maybe?

I am transplanting my beefsteak tomatoes today. I grow them in plastic 5 gallon buckets. Here is a pic of some of them from last year:

When I fill the buckets the top 1/4 gets mixed into the soil 1 cup of used coffee grounds 1/4 cup crushed egg shells and 1/4 cup Epsom salts.

The rest of my coffee grounds go in my composting worm bin.
