Gourmet mushrooms from coffee grounds

Peets’s Coffee and Tea and BTTR have teamed up in a unique venture. Peet’s provides coffee grounds (that otherwise would be dumped in landfills) and BTTR uses them to grow different varieties of mushrooms.

They use about a ton of coffee grounds every two weeks, which is composted by local farmers when they’re done with it.
