Idiotic thread?
You guys don't seem to have a clue about what's really inside those beans, do you?
Why in hell start producing something that can be bought easily on nearly ever corner, something that is way better than anyone can hope to make, and something that promises REPEATABILTY, which cannot be said about this!
Coffe beans contains a lot of stuff you know little about. For a budding film developer, its important to know a few basic things: yes we have coffeine. yes we have caffeic acid, varying with the brand of beans.
But whats not generally considered is the fats and wax content. This can be easily spotted inside a coffee pot, its the brown gooish stuff that covers the insides. In a coffe machine, the good old brands that used coffee filters (disposable, mind you) the wax and fats are to a large degree held back in the paper, therefore the risc of heart failure connected with heavy coffee drinking is less with this, than woith a black coffe pot on the stove....
But fats and wax inside a developer? Put there deliberatley? Come oooon, there is absolutely no need for this excercise, other maybe roasting coffee for drinking maybe, its way better to buy what the doctered ordered here, good cheap BLACK instant coffee and use lots of it (10 times the normal drinking concentration at least have you considered that 40 gram of black instant coffee per litre is an awful lot of coffee.....)
BTW the production process of instant coffee, especially the more modern flash freezing process, seem to limit the wax content inside the dried stuff, so go buy a cheap box today and be better off!
What will be the next? Harvesting your own organges, in order to extract vitamine C from them?
Some people seem to have too much time on their hands...... or know to little of nothing.
