All I need for my "R+D". The lttle scale is the most important tool, it did coast me about 12 Eur and has a resolution of 0.01 gramms. All mugs have ml-calibration.

- Hi, my name is Reinhold and photography is my hobby. I learned the darkroom techniques in school and after a very long break I installed a small darkroom at home. When I first heard about developing film with coffee I thought something like: oooh, the world is full of crazy people doing crazy things, but to be honest I regarded it as not more than a funny game. The pictures I saw in the web first confirmed that estimation, but some folks got pretty nice results. So I read more about Caffenol and about the happy union of coffee with vitamin-C. The first film I ever developed in Caffenol-C turned out very good, I was infected. With my humble skills of chemistry I instantly brewed a usable soup, a bit "thicker" than a known "standard" recipe. It turned out to be so good that there was no real need for further experiments. At least for the medium fast 100 ASA films. That's not a game, I am not modest this time, that's state of the art! Competing or even beating every available commercial developer. I do neither use expired films nor secret esoteric ingredients, I like honest BW-pictures and I don't like dusty scans ;-) Best regards - Reinhold

hi!
what's the orange thingy in the right foregound?
btw a nice place to find these finescales are head-shops :P
Frage - was ist das für eine Waage und wo bekommt man sie ? Meine wiegt einzelne Gramm - da sind 1,5 gr immer Schätzsache... Die Info wäre klasse !
Danke und Gruss

Hi Alex and Christian,
I got the scale from Ebay, in german search for "Feinwaage". Headshops are another good source.
The orange "stick" is a pH-meter from Ebay and also available at zoo shops. You don't need a pH-meter if you don't want to create your own recipe.

I've been meaning to ask, Why Instant Coffee? can't I use chilled day old brewed coffee?
You are (hopefully) a free woman and can do what you like. Using instant coffee makes things much more reliable, and I doubt that rotten day old brewed coffee will work at all. You should drink it before it dies.
Best - Reinhold
