Nadia: I drink a lot of coffee and my coffee grinder is always really nasty. I've been searching for a good way to clean it up and recently came across a tip I wanted to test. What you do is take some rice and fill up the grinder to about the level of the blade, and then just power away. Not only should clean out all that nasty gunk inside. It is supposed to do double duty and sharpen up the blades too. Let's see if it works. Wow it actually worked. It only took a matter of seconds and the rice to the really good job of getting all the nasty gunk out of the inside of the grinder. All I would have to do is just wipe it with a damp cloth and then I would be good to go. Definitely got to try this again.

And then use my other hand as a control, then I'm going to watch both hands and see if Nadia can smell a difference. Hey want to smell my hands? Tali: Sure. Nadia: OK what does the smell like? Tali: It smells clean it smells like soap. Nadia: Okay now this one. Tali: It smells like coffee beans. Nadia: I guess it kind of worked, while the smell of coffee stuck to one hand, the soap I used on the other seems to work just as well. I don't think I'm going to waste my coffee beans on this one again. Is it is it just me or did I go by awfully fast. Tali: I don't know think it is just you, I think it is the caffeine. Nadia: I wish we would have tested to see if you could use coffee grounds to keep cats out of your garden. Tali: Yeah I don't know hopefully someone will try the home and let us know.
