Coffee fans urged to ‘avoid’ doing one thing after finishing their drink

By staff2 August 2025No Comments3 Mins Read

Experts have warned against doing one specific thing after finishing your morning coffee, as it could lead to bad smells

For many people, the morning simply isn’t complete – or even possible – without a cup of coffee or two. Whether that’s a flat white grabbed on the move or an iced latte you’ve prepared at home, it’s difficult to imagine facing the working day without it.

Nevertheless, coffee fans have been warned to never do one particular thing after finishing their beverage, as it could trigger numerous problems long-term.

The consumer specialists at Which? have revealed the reasons why your kitchen drain might be producing bad smells. And coffee grounds are a major offender, though it might not seem like it, since it’s very handy in other ways.

The specialists recently offered some useful advice on how to tackle a smelly kitchen. One of the most frequent causes of unpleasant odours in this space is the drain or sink, despite it sometimes being tricky to identify, reports the Express.

Disposing of the wrong items down there can add to the issue, and coffee grounds are amongst the worst culprits. Given their natural odour-eliminating properties, this might appear strange, but the specialists have warned to ‘avoid’ doing this whenever possible.

They explained: “Not only can they can cause blockages, wet coffee grounds will soon go mouldy and smell bad. These should ideally go in your food waste, compost or bin.”

How to clear a blocked drain

If your sink is blocked or seems to be draining slowly, there are several natural remedies that are worth attempting. The specialists at Which? suggest starting with boiling water, vinegar or lemon juice, and baking soda before resorting to stronger drain cleaners, which should always be used with caution.

This will help dissolve whatever is causing the odour, leaving your sink – and your kitchen – smelling fresh once more.

What to do with old coffee grounds

If you’re unsure what to do with your leftover coffee grounds, they can be incredibly beneficial for gardening. These common kitchen scraps contain essential nutrients like potassium, nitrogen, and zinc, which can aid in the growth of healthier plants.

They can be composted and used as a fertiliser, applied directly to the soil to give your plants an extra nutritional boost.

Coffee is also an effective tool for deterring pests in the garden. According to the experts at The Spruce, coffee grounds can keep away nuisances such as wasps, fleas, and mosquitoes, as well as slugs and snails, helping your plants maintain their best appearance.
