Tip of the day - Coffee staining in a cup!

Hi everyone, while I've done this for some time, this was perfect opportunity to show you a quick stain method. Whether it is a piece of lace, fabric or even paper scraps.
After I've made my single cup of coffee, and the grounds are still in the pod, I grab a cup or measure cup and fill with whatever I want to stain. Then I reset the machine with the used grounds and press start! Presto and donno! I leave the items sit for about 15 minutes (while I drink my coffee) and then lay out to dry. No fuss and no mess. The coffee stain is lighter almost like a dark tea stain. Ive also made that 2nd cup and just brushed on projects.  You could acheive the dark effect by using fresh coffee grounds, its all what you prefer.
These fabric pieces are larger than the container so after about 10 minutes ill just flip it over or I can repeat the process with another coffee for me and my staining. You will see my finished results in my next project.
