Can I just use plain old brown sugar? And if it’s supposed to be a body scrub, why are the coffee grounds so fine in texture. Would it not make more sense to use instant coffee?
Instant coffee will just disintegrate or "melt". Coffee grounds retain their texture - do not "melt". You could use just plain old sugar or salt. Another good scrub: put a handful of oatmeal in a blender until very fine. Makes a great soothing face mask, especially for sunburned skin. Also, be careful your scrub is not too abrasive…you just want to remove dead skin, not irritate the live skin!

Why do you still use instant coffee?
Posted by: | CommentsI’m student who are doing study research about this product. I just wonder. Nowadays that many coffee shop is out there. The coffee machine is cheaper. Why some people still use instant coffee? Do you think the instant coffee is still the symbol of the product of future?
YOU’RE doing a report on coffee? Wow, okay. How about it’s much faster and cheaper than stopping at a coffee shop and buying one medium sized cup for what you can buy a whole jar for?
It has nothing to do with the future, if anything, it’s a thing of the past. I think you need to check your sources, because you’re really off-base on this one.
i just did buy me stevia as an sweetener for my coffee , is that a healthy choice ?
Posted by: | Comments is stevia a smart replacement for sugar ? i read that the Japanese use stevia for many years now without an apparent bad unhealthy aftereffect ,.
wow - wow - wow - miss coy = so much information .
Stevia is a genus of about 150 species of herbs and shrubs in the sunflower family (Asteraceae), native to subtropical and tropical South America and Central America. The species Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni, commonly known as sweetleaf, sweet leaf, sugarleaf, or simply stevia, is widely grown for its sweet leaves. As a sugar substitute, stevia’s taste has a slower onset and longer duration than that of sugar, although some of its extracts may have a bitter or licorice-like aftertaste at high concentrations.
With its extracts having up to 300 times the sweetness of sugar, stevia has garnered attention with the rise in demand for low-carbohydrate, low-sugar food alternatives.
Stevia also has shown promise in medical research for treating such conditions as obesity and high blood pressure.Stevia has a negligible effect on blood glucose, even enhancing glucose tolerance; therefore, it is attractive as a natural sweetener to diabetics and others on carbohydrate-controlled diets
