As a certified caffeine junky and cheapskate.............. i drink at least 3 pots a day most days 4 or 5.
I've tried the cheapest coffee i could find to drink it's still more expensive than the correct size corn cob from zorro ---- so unless someone has a smoking deal on coffee it wouldn't be cost effective. |

Bought 25 lbs of walnut media for $25 from Harbor freight. Not sure where you can find any coffee at $1/lb. |

Yes new coffee way too expensive. You could however save your used grinds for a week or so, let them dry out and try that. It would be free, instead of trash.

With a 20% off HFT coupon the price of walnut media drops to $0.80 a lb. not including tax.
This coupon is good for the next 10 days: https://go.harborfreight.com/coupons/2019/08/20-off-any-single-item-at-harbor-freight/ Over the past 20 years I have tried all sorts of 'alternative' cleaning polishing medias and additives ranging from rice to baking soda. Trust me...stick with walnut. |

Buy your ground walnut at Wally World sold as lizard litter.
Buy your corn cob 14/20 grit at Graingers or McMaster Carr etc. |

I think “used” coffee may be great idea. It also might make your rounds smell so nice too.
Things to consider.... You need a specific size ground. Maybe not fine espresso ground. ;) Try it out. See if it works and report back. Nothing wrong with re-using. Although, we use ours to keep snails out of pots in the back yard so don’t think I will be allowed to try it. |

I am going to try mixing some espresso powder into my Titegroup so I can combine two of my favorite smells.

Ground (and unground) coffee has oils in it so that would potentially cause multiple problems.

I know that some coffee shops give away their used coffee grounds to use a garden mulch. Most of the "goody" would be used up. I would think that the ground coffee would be pretty inert and probably safe for polishing.
