Instructions

    • 1

      Cut out a square piece of cheesecloth, about 5-by-5 inches. Lay the cheesecloth flat.

    • 2

      Ground up fresh coffee beans to about a medium grind. If you grind the coffee too finely, it may seep through the cheesecloth.

    • 3

      Take approximately 2 tbsp. of the coffee and put it inside the cheesecloth.

    • 4

      Create a satchel with the coffee. Wrap the cheesecloth around the coffee and tie off the top of the cheesecloth with kitchen twine.

    • 5

      Place the coffee air freshener in a decorative bowl. Or, create a loop with the kitchen twine to hang the air freshener.
