Eco-friendly Coffee Grounds Soap Making Workshop
Modern Hong Kong people’s demand for coffee is far greater than we imagine. For office workers, a cup of coffee every morning is necessary. But buying at least one cup of coffee every day is not as cost-effective in the long run as buying a coffee machine. However, the coffee machine produces a large amount of coffee grounds. What should we do? To put it to good use, you can bring in your leftover coffee grounds to make your own handmade soap!
