- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- Hello coffee lovers and soap makers! This cold process coffee soap recipe is one of the most luxurious and lathery soaps I've ever made! Not to mention the gorgeous colour, the fragrance, and the fantastic combination of oils and butters in the soap.
In this video I give a full, detailed tutorial of the entire process I use to make my cold process coffee soap using freshly brewed coffee. I also give an alternative method using instant coffee. Make sure you watch to the end to see the lather test!

New to soap making? This is important!
Sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide (lyes) used in soap making, in granular or flake form or in solution with water/other liquids, as well as raw soap batter, are highly corrosive and require careful and attentive handling and the proper use of personal protective equipment.

I love your videos; you use plain english, don’t play music over you’re explanations (many people do and it makes hearing the words difficult), you seem like someone who honestly just wants to share their knowledge, you’re easy to follow no matter what skill level someone has who is watching, and you are a kind and sincere happy person.
Thank you so much, that's wonderful feedback.
I love that she doesn't play music. That is so distracting and weird when you are trying to teach.
I really like how you show us the whole process and include your thoughts and reasonings when you deviate from the usual protocol. I especially like that you show us the gelling, cutting, and lather! Thanks so much! The scientist in me is satiated by your soap making. :)
Thank you so much! I appreciate that a lot.
I would like your recipe to measure by oz not % I likes how u are so patience
Põe o nome dos ingredientes,com tradição para o português,quero fazer a receita,sou de Porto Velho Rondônia Brasil🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱
Can I use olive oil and extra virgin olive interchangeable
@@angelinagarcia112 The % is actually really very helpful. If Elly were to use exact weight measurements then you might end up with more or less soap than you were hoping for. With using %, you can tailor the weight measurements for the amount of soap that you want. For example if a recipe called for 50% Olive oil, Elly might need 100 ounces for her mold, you may need 32 ounces for your mold and I may need 5 ounces for my mold. We are all using the same exact recipe but the amounts of each ingredient that we need are all different.
I took a break from soapmaking for a couple years. It's so addicting!! I made enough soap for 3 years, and we're a family of 5! I miss it though. I'm planning on returning, but your videos were my "go to" videos for soapmaking. I've tried cold and hot process, and I loved them both. Something about using natural, fresh ingredients and also the satisfaction of making it yourself keeps me coming back. Thank you for sharing your videos with us. 🙏
Did you return? Love to see your soaps. I’m new. Two batches in.
I use a very fine ground coffee and put it directly in my lye water solution. The heat "brews" the coffee. Then I add to my oils when the temp is right. I am happy with this method.
That's clever!
One time a friend's wife gave me a soap they had made and I thought it was fudge, I really like fudge. This coffee soap looks like amazing fudge even though I know it isn't.
I use my grounds for personal use as a substitute (instead of sugar) in a sugar scrub. I absolutely LOVE it for my summer feet! I work in a dusty, hot environment, and I live in flip-flops. My feet get very dry and rough in summer, but my coffee scrub sorts it right out. Plus, it smells phenomenal.
I made this soap - it has to be the best recipe I have ever used! Luxurious is the word. Thank you for your generosity in sharing your knowledge and recipes.
You are so welcome!
that soap is Beautiful Elly
Gorgeous soap just like you. My love from greece
Oh gee, thanks Dimitra! Hope you're ok after the fires.
I agree...you are beautiful, free of ego and you make fantastic tutorials and gorgeous down to earth wonderful soaps 🧼
I watched alot of coffee soap making tutorials and I think this is the best one so far, not only is the measurement in grams which I can easily understand but it also demonstrates the trace ability based on the oils. I formulated my own recipe with the similar ratios and oils except I don't have rice brand and it's interesting to see how it might possibly turn out. Simple but good recipe
Glad it was helpful!
Hi Elly! I made this soap a few days ago and I'm in love. It's a lovely color (so far..lol) and the grounds are beautifully suspended throughout.
The scent is heavenly.. seems to smell like a chocolate cake baking with coffee brewing at the same time! Thankyou for a gorgeous easy recipe! Cheers! :)
That's great! Please kindly share your recipe
I have made this soap in the past and yes it is a spectacular bar of soap. Thank you again Elly, you are amazing.
I am going to experiment with your recipe by making one with coffee and one with water and then adding some white pigment to the batter then I’m going to swirl it in the mold and call it coffee and cream! Thank you for the recipe. I will work on those for Christmas gifts this year. 2023.
Wonderful!
WOW - I'm a newbie soap maker so I've only tried about a dozen different recipes, but this is SO far above all of them! I'm in love with it. I'm going to make this again and again, I can't believe how soft and luxurious the lather is. And my soaps are only 2 weeks old - can't wait to see how they age! Thank you so much for sharing
I just recenty talked to my husband about me making soap. I love how you are very informative. I also loved you showing how well the soap lathered. That was one thing my husband and I where wondering is how well it'll lathered. Thanks again and please continue making soap for us all.
Thanks Angie, that's nice to hear. Glad you're enjoying the channel :)
And thanks for being kind enough to reply and like so many comments 😃
Thanks Elly. That was great! I especially liked the way you didn't panic when the soap cracked and just went with the flow.
Thanks Alice, yeah, I was a bit unsure what to do but was curious about it so just went with it :)
PS: love your videos. You make soap making look easy and you explain everything well. Thank you!
I just made it yesterday! OMG !!! Thank you for this awesome recipe!
My lye solution with coffee cooled down and it was hardening fast on me. I wrapped it and this morning Ph is 8, tried it right away and it is just beautiful on skin. I will use this recipe for other creations for sure, thank you so much for sharing it.
I have watched 100's of soap viedos. You are a wonderful teacher. I am NOT afraid to try now. Thank you, from Washington(for now, Florida here i come.)
Yay, a new Elly video! So informative and inspiring, as always.
Thanks so much Kerry, yes it felt like ages since I'd done a recipe!
@@EllysEverydaySoapMaking do you get your soap making supplies from Amazon
Love coffee and love soap so this will be my next batch. Currently traveling and won’t be able to make it until later in September..thanks, Elly❣️
Thank you Dale, glad you liked it :) Enjoy your travels!
Hi ,Thank you for the beautiful tutorial video of making a coffee soap. I would love to make it for my husband he loves coffee smells .Thank you again.God Bless!
I can smell it thru the phone!. Thank you for being so detailed and explaining everything.
You're welcome!
You are so kind and generous, im definitely going to try this recipe. Thank you❤
After watching many of your videos and getting excited to start..this was the first soap i made...and i love it..ive given so many of them away and people love it!! Thankyou.
My pleasure 😊
One of my favorite soaping UA-cam channels! Thank you for all the knowledge you share!
Thank you, you're welcome.
I made this last year for Christmas for all the guys in my life. To clarify, one husband of 51yrs, one son, and 2 grandsons (daughters boys) They all loved it!!
Aloha! I'm just starting my journey of homemade soap making... AND I love coffee... I think this will be my first recipe!! Mahalo/Thanks for sharing!
One for the men in the family, I love the smell of coffee but hate the taste. Thanks Elly, it’s a great looking coffee soap on my list to do. I’ve been using most of the ingredients in this recipe, with addition of castor & sweet almond and minus rice bran and coffee ,sure makes great soaps mind your pink and white soap has cured beautifully and wonderful to use too. My girlfriend loves it.
Oh that's lovely! Thanks so much Tassie Girl :)
I love your videos! They’re so relaxing. I recently made coffee soap, I’m definitely using your tips. God bless! Thank you 🙏🏽
I will definitely replace my coffee soap recipe for this one lol!! Thank you love
I have been making a similar soap for a few years. It is the favorite of two of my children. It has helped them with skin problems they had.
Kiaora Elly ...that just looks great i love the rustic color .Thank you so much
Thanks so much Adeline. Kiaora!
I could smell the coffee!!!!!
Mmmm...
What a wonderfully soothing video, as restful as a bedtime story. I really want to give this a go. Thank you!
Thanks so much once again for the awesome tips! Think I'm going to have to incorporate something similar to my product line now :)
Love your videos. Your voice is so easy to listen to, and your explanations of why you’re doing each thing is very much appreciated. Thank you for sharing your talents.
You are so welcome!
I can imagine the aroma! The lather effect is amazing. I will definitely tweak this into a conditioner bar. Thanks for sharing
I have never made soap before but I'm slowly transitioning into becoming more self-sufficient. You've inspired me to make my own soap! You make it seem so simple and fun and I love a good DIY! Thank you Ellie!
Thanks Callie!
Coffee soap sounds delicious 😊. As i don't drink coffee, the smell i absolutely love. Thank you Elly.💜
You're welcome Yamina, thank you!
Best first time soap making experience using this recipe and your fabulous instructions and guidance, thank you!
Wonderful!
Thank u got the recipie in grams in the link given
Can’t wait to try this rich soap...thank you so much for sharing...we will all love this! Stay blessed
First lemme express how much i love ur channel. Straight to the point with lots of tips, detailed explanation and above all you are so tidy and neat which makes watching ur videos seamless and comforting like watching ASMR for relaxation ❤
Second, please help i have a dilemma
I am new to soap making i have a problem with temperatures
My recipe is:
Olive oil 350g
Coconut oil 150 g
5% superfat
71 g sodium
190 g water
All according to soap calculator
First time i prepared it, the lye was cold ( i prepare it night before) when i mixed it it traced in 10 sec gave me false trace i poured and wasn’t able to cut before 48h cuz it was crumbling, the next day the bars started to crack on the surface. I tried repatching didn’t work i ended up throwing it away.
Second time i tried, i brought oils to about 45 degree (testing by hand) and raised the lye temp by placing it in hot water container.
The second the lye touched the oils it crumbled i kept stirring and started seeing translucent batches then liquid separated i assume it was lye it was lighter than oil. I ended up HP it and still waiting to cut.
What am i doing wrong? Do i heat or not around coconut oil.
Thank you very much in advance. ❤
I had been looking all over youtube for a coffee soap and yours is the best!!
Oh thank you! I ADORE this recipe.
for the coffee recipie, it calls for 150 g shea butter and 75 g cocoa butter, can I use 225 coffee butter? I only have coffee butter right now and I thought it would be perfect but I do not want to mess up the recipie, I will buy shea if I have to but wanted to ask about combining the weight of 2 butters into 1 butter?
thank you for sharing teacher elly...i really learned a lot from your videos😊
Your tutorials are really educational. The way you explain and reason why you prefer doing things differently so down to earth. You got me interested in soap making.
That's so great to hear, thanks Greg.
I'm so glad I came across your channel! Your are a beautiful and wonderful person and quite a good teacher! So talented! You make all of this so easy and detailed! I enjoy your videos♡
All the way from the West Indies ♡♡
Thank you so much!
I've just made my first ever soap, used this recipe... it's wrapped up now... roll on 12ish hours!! Just want to cut it! Thank u!
Time for watching ...!👍👍👍😀
I was just thinking earlier today about making Coffee Soap. But I didn’t think I’d need to freeze the coffee to prevent a scorching smell. Thank you for that information! You saved me a lot of headache and failure. I love your demonstrations and information, a great deal! I’ll be checking back here for more great videos, you can be sure!
Thank you!
Thank you for the recipe
I can smell the ☕️ from my place.
Adoro fare il sapone, anche il recupero dell'olio usato facendolo per la biancheria, bello questo con il caffè! Grazie per la ricetta👏
That's great! glad it helps. :)
I enjoy watching you make a coffee soap. Very well done!
Lovely soap! Very nice Elly, thank you for sharing.
Thanks Claudia, you're welcome!
Good Day Elly
I just made this recipe for coffee soap I had to make a few changes I use mango butter in replacement to Shea butter.
I also tried to instant Nescafe Gold ( Espresso) it worked well I added it at the end like you suggested I should have taking a picture but it's all wrap up so have to wait. Also the smell changed after the instant coffee was added the other fragrance add was hazelnut cappuccino. I hope it smells good in the end
will wait for tomorrow
Charlene (Canada)
That's so wonderful Charlene, thanks for commenting here and on my blog :)
Hi Elly as always you are awesome. I always feel real positive vibes as see you .So satisfying surely will try this.Fond of coffee as much as yours.
Thank you very much Sarita, that's so lovely of you to say. I'm very pleased you enjoyed the video :)
Coffee soaps are my favorites. I will certainly lybtry this one, it looks superb and asyou said, very luxurious! Love it!
You gave great information in this. So I used this recipe with minor modifications (while the coffee freezes). I added in castor oil and removed some of the hard oils and scented with sweet orange and chili pepper from Midwest Fragrance Company. The recipe was dreamy. Fragrance behaved beautifully. Now as the coffee is ready to go, so will I be! Spot on with your information. Thank you. Is it horrible to make a coffee soap in the evening? LOL...will be so excited to wake up to it. THANK YOU!
Thanks Molly - it's always a good time to make coffee soap! :) Yours sounds wonderful, well done.
Thank you.
You're welcome! I hope it helps. :)
I really like it. My first soap I made after watching your video and to your recipe. Very nice. Thanks
I love the way you explain. So far the best I found! Thank you very much!! Success
Oooh Elly!! I used your recipe sans coffee. It really is so creamy. I can’t wait to use it. I’m gonna make another batch tonight! Many many thanks for sharing!!
Awesome! I love it, I think it's my favourite!
Thanks for showing and sharing this coffee soap recipe, I am sure to make it (soon), as the bars would make wonderful and fragrant Christmas gifts.
Thanks Marjan, yes it's a great recipe this one :)
Got to shower with this soap ,LOVE IT SO much made another.thank you for sharing.
Made this very recipe this morning. Sped up my lye mix by placing stainless steel bowl in a chilled water bath while Sodium hydroxide was mixed into ice cubes. Worked like a charm about 2-3 minutes total. End temp was 95'F. Whisked only the emulsion & had an end of mix temp of 80'F. Added choc fragrance (10 g) & coffee fragrance (5 g) & a bit of cedar atlas (5 g) thought I'd try a mocha scent. It was cool & slow setting up so I did the warm oven trick for 5 hrs & just wrapped it in wool still only at 120'F. Trying not to peek for a good gel. 11 am tmrw moment of truth. It smells a bit strong now but Im guessing that will mellow over 4 weeks. Cant wait to cut it & see how it feels. I did add kaolin white, french green & red clay (3% combined of total oils- premixing by eye in a little oil) to deepen that nice rich brown color & it looks exactly like melted milk chocolate. Cant wait to see the extra fine grounds that came through my little french press strainer (a very fine silt - same as at the bottom of your cup). I put 3% sugar & 2% citric & 1.2% kosher salt & sodium lactate, & .7% vitamin E as the preservative. All of these I learned from Georges videos & I now structure all my recipes in that same format. This makes for a more uniform approach to the whole thing. My soaps are a hit with friends so far we'll sed how they like this 1. Thank you. Each batch becomes more gratifying. Next lemon myrtle w pink clay.
You're gaining some fantastic mastery there James, wonderful! Your soap sounds absolutely superb.
I REALLY LIKE YOUR SOAP RECIPES
Thank you sooooo much for all your videos! You're great! You are a star...
Thank you!
I love your videos and watch each of them. You explain everything so well. Can you please show some recipes for Shampoo and conditioner. Thank you so much Elly!!
Beautiful explanation, inspiring, very soothing to watch and giving confidence. Such a beautiful soap and Lather. Yum. Thanks I really enjoy your videos,.you keep things so basic and simple and DOABLE. Even without the stick blender. I only just got one but I was making without and in a kenwood stand mixer. Turned out fine with and without electric.
Wow!! Lovely soap, great lather!! Thank you for sharing
Thank you I was just about to search about coffee soaps and luckily I got yours...
That's great Saloni, thank you. Have fun! It's a beautiful soap recipe, one of my faves.
@@EllysEverydaySoapMaking hi Elly...I made similar coffee soap with brewed coffee...but couldn't get this dark colour. It is very very light like milk coffee. My lye is at 37%. Apart from this it has normal oils coconut castor olive Shea butter... kindly suggest how can I bring same dark coffee coloured sops...thanks Elly
Love the way every soap you make is one of yr favourites...
Thanks for the recipe, it is a luxurious and gorgeous soap. Definitely worth a try.
This is my first try at making soap. I just knew that I had to make soap with coffee, lol. After buying all the ingredients and supplies, I'm very surprised that this stuff still works out to so be super affordable.
Boy did I ever make some nice body butter with the left over shea butter and rice bran oil.
This is interesting. The basic recipe without the coffee sounds like a great combination and the rich lather at the end is a lovely result. Definitely giving this a go! Cheers Elly! 👍
Thanks Trisha, yes I was so pleased with it as it was my first go with that combination of oils/butters. I'll be making it again for sure. I'll stick with my castile soap in our dry winters, but this will be a great summer soap for me when the weather is hot and humid.
@@EllysEverydaySoapMaking
Hi Elly...
thank you for your willingness to share with thoes of us who's learning your craft.
I made this soap, and it was really nice, but it was soft and airy.
I used sea moss water for my water portion, I also used 2 ounces of sea moss gel.
I wonder where I went wrong?
Be blessed and stay prayed up.
You are one of my favourite soapers and I love how you present your videos. Your instructions are simple and easy to follow, and your creations are always 😊exciting and fun to make.
Thank you for not playing music over the top of your videos. My autistic brain can't understand what's happening when there is speech and music playing together. Xx
Hi Jacqui, thank you so much for that feedback. I don't have any diagnosis but I suspect I might be on the spectrum too (super high masking!!). I can't watch videos with music and talking together either. One thing at a time is enough :)
Thank you for sharing, Elly. This looks wonderful - I want to try. I love your voice and accent! This video was so relaxing, as well as informative. 💗 God bless you! ~ And thanks, again.
Thank you I will make this for my small business
Hello, I just wanted to say I love your videos so much!! I am new to soaping and I’ve become obsessed. Your videos are so wonderful and easy to follow. I made this soap tonight and can’t wait to see how it turns out. Thank you again. Xx
Ooh that's exciting! Thank you. I just tried it out last night in the shower and it's the best soap! So creamy. I love it.
@@EllysEverydaySoapMaking the cut looks gorgeous, I am so happy with the soap. I wish I could post a photo here. I’m so excited to use it, it’s such a long wait but I know it will be worth it! Thank you so much for sharing. Xxx
You're welcome! Glad it worked out well for you. It's a great soap, I'm loving it. Lasts really well too.
Your breads and soaps inspire me elly!!!!! I made a version of this soap today! Im so happy with it!
I just want to be friends with someone SSOOO lovely and soothing!
This is a very lovely soap thank you so much for all your effort 💛💛💛💛
Thanks so much 😊
Thank you for this awesome recipe!!!
I really like how you make soap. It' great!!!
Thank you so much!
I can't wait to try your recipe! Thank you you for sharing it with us! Excellent video!
Thanks Kimberly!
Percentages really blow my mind. I get all anxious then run a mile.
I used to as well. Have you seen my calculating videos? They break it down simply.
Dear Elly,
Thank you very much for your another wonderful soap recipe. My sons love coffee flavor and they wanted to do the same. I'll try it with your super informations.
Lovely soap, and such a great lather for fresh soap!
Thanks Kristy, yes I can't wait to see it in a month or two! I'll have to do a lather test video and review of it then :)
What a glorious soap!
I just made this soap, can't wait to use it,
I love your videos. This is exactly what I was looking for. Great explanations. Ty
so detailed and informative, enjoyed and I wish I could smell it .
Thanks Marta, it's a lovely soap indeed.
@@EllysEverydaySoapMaking I will definitely try your recipe, is on my list ❤
Thanks for this wonderful video Elly. I have been very quiet of late because my shoulder surgery from 8 weeks ago developed major complications and I had to unfortunately undergo further surgery again 4 days ago. As an incentive to get better and continue making more soap I have just placed an order for products under your Amazon banner. Warm wishes 🐾
Oh dear Marion I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope the second surgery went well and you can be on the mend soon! Thank you so much for your support :)
Thank you for this informative video
Easy on the eye, easy on ear, lots of info to the brain. Big fan of your videos. Coffee soap in my agenda for a long time but postponed it because I don't use fragrance oil and coffee soap without the smell is bland.
Thank you
Thank you Pushkar. Yes coffee soap is a bit bland without fragrance. Have you considered adding benzoin resin? It has a nice vanilla-y fragrance that is the only natural one I'd use with coffee soap. If you can get it, might be worth a try :)
@@EllysEverydaySoapMaking Thank you. Will certainly try benzoin resin. I read somewhere that benzoin holds the EO too from being too volatile.
Thanks again
One more reason to try.
Best of luck, benzoin is a really nice ingredient to experiment with. I've made lovely soaps with it.
I'm going to give this recipe a try, it looks beautiful, what size mold did you use Elle? It is so nice of you to give us recipes.
Thank you Lorraine, the details are all in the video description box and recipe blog post (all linked below) :)
This is one luxurious soap!I shall surely trythis recipe! Thanku Elly! :)
You're welcome, hope you enjoy it :)
