Breaking news - reduce your electricity bills by 20-50%

That's right folks you heard right

Reduce your 'lecy bill by 20-50%

Want to know how???????

You sure????

Buy bags of "Micswell café 8 in 1" coffee mix and tape the sachets round the electrical cable for 6-36inches depensing on the saving you want to make.

Its as simple as that!!

Sorry I went info-mercial there. The woman who does the wifes nails came today brandishing a few sheets of paper containing photocopies of a local businesses 'lecy bills for the last 4 months and a information on the above coffee product. Now I've done a little bit of looking on google and there is a few vids on utube showing how you do this but for the life of me I honestly cant see how taping small bags of coffee round the cable of your appliances can in anyway reduce the consumption of that appliance. Unless of course I'm being thick again?!

Prehaps the more intelligent amoung us can shed some light on this?

That's one for your drillship sparky! But I would say not. Or if so then its negligible.

It seems to be quite thing here though that's what I don't understand either. The bills 've seen are from the local internet café whos use is going to be up and down each month anyay

Although I have worked with electricity and electronics for many years, until a few years ago I have never fully understood it / them and am not formally trained, I just don't think it would be so. But then I always think never say never too.


Yep, one for the coffee shop at smoko!

LOL here it is. I will watch it later...

Watched that one, doesn't really show anything to me

The save lecky campaign im involved with involves rounds of the house and turning off the lights/ aplliances left on I wish we had a "cash consumed" meter where the missus could see it where it says "annual cost at current consumption" so you could see the big picture and the dramatic difference.

On a parallel note Ive tried to explain how water /sewage bills work allso without much sucsess lol

Yep same here. The number of rooms I walk into that have lights blazing away and no-one in them. Winds me up

Tired of constantly turning lights off after them!!
We have changed all our lighting to LED` bulbs (3 and 5 watts) so they can have the lights on when they like for as long as they like now..

is there any scientific basis on this claim?

with how much our electricity bill as of now, i am scared when Meralco starts increasing prices by php3.4/kwh.

Not really.. The guy that posted that video just claims to sell coffee that reduces Kwh usage.. It either works or he`s a damned good coffee salesman!!

Personally I think this is generated by the coffee firm I honestly cant see how taping silver sachets of coffee to cable has an affect in the slightest. Unless this is indeed the answer to the worlds energy problems.

I just thought it was one of those funny urban legends (assuming it is an urban legend of course)

I'm a complete novice when it comes to electrics but that is a wind-up. Coffee sachets reducing electric bills, naaaah. A device consumes the electricity at the voltage and amperage it needs, else we'd have "dimmer switches" on everything.

Just spoke to a chap that used to work for Schlumberger, running thousands of feet of electronic cable in a wellbore. Am not sure what the power supply is that they use but it is low voltage. Anyway, distilling down what he said was that energy is indeed lost along an electrical cable to run say, an electric kettle, for example, however, coffee will not help solve that.

Gold wire will help though. - thats gold wire, not Goldblend.

When I first met my wife I distinctly recall her explaining to me that coffee was a healthy beverage....



"I stopped taking coffee for the past 20 years because I experienced strong palpitation and it causes pain in my left temple. I started to drink it every morning in July 2012. I noticed that the palpitation was gone and there was no more pain in my left temple. I felt more alert and vigorous.

Little did I know that aside from the health benefits, this coffee mix can also reduce electricity and fuel consumption!

This is not the first time that I heard about this but I just ignored it, thinking that it was just one of those things. A relative based in Bicol brought to us a similar coffee-mix with “Barako” brand name. My wife wife tried by attaching it to appliances but I did not notice any significant result on our electric bills. I researched on the web and found out that there are similar products as well but not as hygienically, professionally-produced and marketed like “Micswell Cafe 8-in-1”."

Not a bad idea, I regularly go outside to cool down!!! I don't know if it makes a difference but the exterior of the house we're renting is covered in ceramic tiles! Must have cost a fortune.

Anyway so we're saying that there is no proof the taping coffee to cables reduces the bill. Saying that I've heard using teabags is really effective........

Yeh, but only Tetleys...
