In keeping sorta with the theme of tonight's Canteen thred:

Enjoy the Perks of Coffee!

FROM BEANS TO GROUNDS AND FROM FILTERS TO CANS, THE MANY ASPECTS OF COFFEE ARE NO LONGER RESERVED FOR MORNINGS ALONE.

>>FRESHEN YOUR BREATH.
Completely out of breath mints? Simply suck on a coffee bean for a while and you mouth will feel clean and fresh again.

>>FILL A BEANBAG.
They don't call them beanbags for nothing. Coffee Beans are ideal as a beanbag filler. To ensure you're getting the most bang for your buck, purchase the least expensive bans — they will work just as well,

>>DON'T RAIE ANY DUST.
Before you clean the ashes out of your fireplace, sprinkle them with wet coffee grounds. They'll be easier to remove, and the ash and dust won't pollute the room's atmosphere.

>>MAKE A DEHUMIIFIER.
If your basement is to damp, try this effortless solution. Fill an empty coffee can with salt and leave it in the corner where it will be undisturbed, creating an instant dehumidifier. Replace the salt at monthly intervals or as needed.

>>KEEP TOILET PAPER DRY WHENCAMPING.
Bring a few empty coffee cans with you on your next camping trip. Use them to keep toilet paper dry in rainy weather or when you're carrying supplies in a canoe or boat.

>>STORE BELTS.
If you have more belts than places to hang them, just roll them up and store them in a cleaned-out coffee can with a clear lid. Coffee cans are just the right size to keep belts from creasing, and the clear lids help you find each belt easily.

>>FILTER CORK CRUMBS FROM WINE.
Don't let cork fragments ruin your enjoyment of a good glass of wine. If your attempt at opening a bottle of wine results in floating cork crumbs, simply decant the wine through a coffee filter.
