Hey this is Michael 'Medium Rare' O'Donnell with Cave Tools and in this video we're going to talk about how to clean your grill using coffee grinds.

Most people begin their day with a cup of coffee, but rarely do you hear of people actually cleaning their grill with their cup of coffee. It may sound a bit ridiculous but it's actually a very good strategy for getting a nice deep clean on your grill grates.

The way it works is that coffee is very acidic and it's great at cleaning away grease and it's actually a very easy process to use when you want to clean your grill grates.

All you need to do is just prepare your coffee like you normally would and then you put your grill grates into a basin with that coffee and let it sit for about 45 minutes to an hour. Go over and scrub the grill grates with a little warm water and you're done.

You get an incredibly deep clean of the grill grates with coffee. It's a little more intense and a little more time consuming than a normal clean when you would use a stainless steel grill brush, but that's the technique.

If you're interested in the quick and easy way then definitely use a stainless steel grill brush. We've actually put a coupon together for you over at BuyCaveTools.com, so you can check that out if you're interested in a grill brush, but I definitely urge you to try using the coffee technique at least once or twice per year for a nice deep clean.
