If you randomly asked ten individuals what their choice of morning drink is, what do you think they would say; water, orange juice, milk? While all of the above are popular breakfast drinks, it’s likely that the majority of surveyors would say that they can’t start their day without a cup of coffee – have you ever tried to get into a Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts before 10 AM? But although some coffee drinkers prefer store bought brands, many others have jumped onto the DIY trend to avoid long lines and the hassle of needing to make a stop before school or work – which of these groups do you fit in?

If your Keurig is one of the most valuable appliances in your home, here are a few ways that you can reuse your K-Cups, courtesy of Good Housekeeping:

Plant Pot: Although it’s winter, your K-Cup can be the perfect house for indoor plants. Whether you grow them yourself or replant something you buy, K-Cups are the perfect size for windowsill décor.

Organizers: Do you have a desk at home with paper clips, staples and similar office supplies scattered throughout your drawers? Use your K-Cups to de-clutter and reorganize some of your greatest messes.

Ingredients: If you spend most of your time in the kitchen, K-Cups can be the perfect accessory to have by your side to differentiate between ingredients. From salt and pepper to cinnamon, garlic and more, your K-Cup can serve as a measuring tool to help ensure that your recipe is followed as described.

Though they are small, K-Cups can have a big impact on our environment. The next time you brew your own cup of coffee, be sure to keep in mind just how simple (and beneficial) it can be to reuse them as opposed to sending them to the trash.
