The wife thinks I am just crazy. I am the type of person that when I have a problem I look for a solution.
So here was my problem.
I have a Keurig that I use with reusable K-cups. They save a ton of money by allowing you to use your own ground coffee instead of buying the K-cups. But they can be difficult to clean due to the wet grounds after use...
Even the next day they will not be completely dried out. I have a swamp cooler and the higher humidity does not help with the drying time. When the grounds are completely dry they dump out with very little effort but they can take several days to dry out.
So my solution. A K-cup drying box. Start with a cheap food container and drill air exit holes along the bottom...
Then mount a computer fan on top powered by a USB plug. A phone charger plug works for this...
This design should easily dry my spent K-cups over a few hours. Then I can dump them out and use again with very little effort.
I can also dry out small batches of spices or even dry out caked rubs etc. A little mini dehydrator for no cost to me.
So when I showed my wife she thought I was crazy. She would not even take a picture and post it to her Instagram account! I am proud of my invention and if Billy Mays was still alive this thing would be on every infomercial at 4am
A bigger fan and box or even a smaller fan and box. The possibilities are unlimited!!!
This is right up there with the pet rock and snuggie!!
So am I a crazy genius or just crazy?
