I usually drink some of every batch of caffenol-coffee that I make. its just coffee..Why would someone want to drink film developer? What next, d-76 on the rocks?
As do I. I am a great fan of strong coffee and the brew I make for the caffenol is imminently drinkable. Some of it becomes part of the developing "soup" and part of it ends up in my cup. It has become a bit of a tradition for me though my wife refuses to participate.I usually drink some of every batch of caffenol-coffee that I make. its just coffee..
I agree Drew. I would definitely keep the Kona to myself and prevent it from ending up in the developing tray. I would share some brew with friends but that would be the end of it.Well .... Any given trip to Hawaii, and I come back with maybe four large format shots (more rolls film are shots OK per my wife cause they don't take as long), but generally an entire suitcase full of Kona coffee beans. No - it's not for developing film!
Coffee is for drinking, Pyro is for developing, and never the twain shall meet.

Hey GLS. the cost thing and caffic acid thing were exaggerated by the guy in the video, he's a coffee guru I guess, and he's just repeating internet gossip. It really as expensive as anything else you might use 1shot... and people ( here on this very site! ) have tried just caffic acid ( sans café ) and it didn't work.. ... it's only inexpensive if you make a gallon of strong caffenol, spike it with something and use it for more than 1shot ( like I do ). it ends up lasting about 6months, and able to process ( film and prints ) costing about 1cent or less / roll or sheet of film, print. The point ?I've never tried developing film with it though, as beyond the novelty/cost factor I don't see the point.

The point ?. There is no point, of any of it! . You know. like using pyro or dk50 or edwal10 or ID11 or D76 or HC110 orX-tol or ... other than its a developer and it works great. People kid themselves thinking their developer does something magic or its made by woodland fae .. in the end its just developer ...
maybe ¯\_(ツ)_/¯Yeah but John don’t you throw other stuff like Ansco 130 into your caffenol concoctions? Cheater!
Can confirm, I live in Sweden.
Scotch, but don't need a hot drink around a fire.What's your hot drink of choice around the fire in the redwoods etc?
