    How long do I need to wait until I can eat the grounds?
    Community Answer
    You can't eat coffee grounds, they would not be pleasant and are not edible. If you want to actually eat coffee, you might try making a dessert like tiramisu, coffee-flavored cake or coffee-flavored wafers. Or, you can buy chocolate-covered coffee beans.

    The refrigerator is not such a good place for coffee, so do not store coffee in fridge.The fridge is not the place to store coffee in any form, ground or whole bean even if in an airtight container. It isn't cold enough to keep your coffee fresh, and because coffee works as a deodoriser, it will absorb all the aromas in your fridge.

    Find somewhere that is dry and cool. The heat can make the coffee go bland and lose flavor.
