I am in an extremely busy coffee shop and basically work 50+ hours per week these days, and ofc when you finish tamping the coffee into the basket, you have to wipe the excess grounds from the rim.

Basically this, along with the various other ways coffee grounds/stains get onto and into your skin, has caused my hands to look like the picture I took and have attached here.

This is with me constantly washing my hands every 10/15 mins. The pic was taken not long after I got out of the shower as well, so it does seem to just be permanent staining, which is annoying because it looks filthy – not just to customers which is awful but to coworkers!

Ofc coworkers have something similar, but I genuinely believe I get it the worst out of all of us. Granted I work the most hours but still!

If anyone has any tips/idea/recommendations for how to keep the coffee out of your skin, and how to clean it up, it would be greatly appreciated!

Also feel free to attach pics so I don't feel as bad 😛
