Hi from New Zealand

Hi everyone,
I am a coffee roaster from NZ and I have started selling beans at a few markets and decided I wanted to make something else made with coffee and thought soap could be great. ( I realise it could be sometime before my experiments are good enough to sell, but you have to start somewhere!) I used to cook for a living and miss it, and one day at the library I saw a book called the soap chef and thought why not ! At least I wont put on any kg's trying out my creations. I have started getting all my supplies together and I want to basically focus on a coffee based soap. There are so many recipes out there it is hard to know where to start.

Hello and welcome!

Coffee themed soap is a good idea. You could have a lot of fun basing your recipes on coffee variations like Espresso, Latte, Cappuccino, Mocha (Salted Caramel Mocha - yum - this could be a salt bar. Of course, Starbuck's might fuss if you used this name.) Also, you just want to make sure if you do a scrub soap that the grounds are super fine. Coffee can be very scratchy in soap.

Thanks for the advice about how fine to grind the coffee. I hadn't thought of that.
