Bill Bowes Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 <p>Hello everyone. Having just seen an endless (and somewhat aged) number of hits on a "Coffee developer" seach, I just want to direct anyone doing the same search to use the following site to get up-to-date (2011) data on coffee based developers (caffenol). <a href="http://caffenol.blogspot.com">http://caffenol.blogspot.com</a> Enjoy, Bill </p>� Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Bowes Posted October 10, 2011 Author Share Posted October 10, 2011 <p>I have been on the forum off and on for years! I tried the coffee developing years ago and could not get consistant results, even after spending a fortune in time "standardizing" the teaspoons into g/l thing. I "stumbled" across the site about a month ago when using up some outdated tmx and having no pyro developers around . Of course I now have kits for 510, PMK and Procat. The instant coffee works great on the negs, but I prefer my coffee via a Bodium thank you. Bill</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fotohuis RoVo Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 <p>Yes, consistent results with coffee can be a problem. I think it's better to use a good staining developer instead. 510, PMK, Finol etc.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waite_watson Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 <p>You inspired me. I'm on my 4th roll of film developed in Caffenol (original..no Vitamin C). So far,I'm impressed using Fomapan 100 in 35mm. I couldn't find Washing Soda at several local supermarkets so ended using PH plus for swimming pools which the local supermarket does carry (also cooked regular baking soda in the oven @ 425*F for an hour & used with same results). The negatives scanned well (haven't printed yet in actual darkroom) I suspect they'll print well. Who would have thought you could do this with stuff just lying around the house?<br> However,I have to make one observation. People complain Caffenol smells,it doesn't.You mix it,no bad smell.You use it & pour it out,no bad smell. You 'stop' it (using water as a stop),no bad smell. Pour in the fixer.....and OH,My God! The stink! I don't know what the bad smell is,but it doesn't begin UNTIL you introduce fixer.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
