As other Hypographers might know, I'm a coffee addict. I drink a couple espressos a day, and this leads to a lot of spent coffee grounds. Usually I get a bag or two of them per week. Most of them have been going into my house plants or outside to feed the fruit trees, but I notice they can take a while to decompose. I also use them in potting soil mixes. I was wondering if I could do something more constructive and helpful with them...like making them into charcoal. Coffee grounds are already halfway there--they just need more roasting. Without burning my house down or making my neighbors call the police or fire department on me, are there any safe and relatively easy ways I could convert my coffee grounds into a small amount of charcoal? I can also get additional coffee grounds from my local Starbucks. I've been doing that recently for my gardening outside.
If I don't reply to this for a while, I apologize. Will be on vacation for a few weeks. I'll read and answer as soon as I get back.
