This is completely unorthodox, but I just haven't found a good solution as to what to do with all the little remnants of beans from finished bags of espresso. I'll have 5g of x blend, 6g of y blend, etc.. So, I just throw them all together, and make a Po' Boy blend. Sometimes it's surprisingly delicious. Other times it's horrid.

What do other people do with their remnants?

I do that with the left overs from the beans I grind, I put into a air tight container and use them in my drip coffee maker and it comes out pretty good. But it's mostly what I've been grinding over the past week or so.

I do what you do but I use it to make cold brew coffee I use with milk.  Cute name for it.

I once used some left over Tuscano ground really fine then mixed into some vanilla ice cream. Tasted pretty good
