Top 10 Uses for Used Coffee Grounds
This from Curbly via Lifehacker...
I don't have a clue how much North Star produces in coffee grounds over the course of a year - but thinking about it, we go through a good few kilos of coffee per week and all those grounds just get tipped into the bin. I've often thought that there must be some sort of use that all this waste can be put to (to be fair, I was aware that they made decent compost, but then again, I don't have a garden!) ... so here is a definitive list entitled "The Top Ten Uses for Used Coffee Grounds".
It's a shame they're all a bit lame! I was hoping for some alchemical method of turning them into gold dust!

How to make latte art…
This is gacked from Lifehacker (a hugely useful site!), who in turn gacked it from WikiHow (also very useful!).
Ever wondered how we make those pretty patterns on top of your coffees? Well follow the links for some insights. These articles presuppose that you have access to a professional coffee machine, so (unless you do, of course) you might not be able to get these effects at home. If you're managing to make these drinks without the use of a machine, come in and see me - there's a job for you at North Star any day!
