Combine molasses and candle wax in your bread pan. The amount of molasses used varies by reference recipe, with the consensus being to make sure you have a generous portion coating the bottom of your pan.

Are you oftentimes reluctant to start the wood burner because of the sheer overhead and mess of wood logs? Coffee Logs are the answer. Each bag weighs around 8kg, and comes with a convenient handle. So mobility and handling are a breeze.

Mix in enough grounds to obtain a sludge-like consistency (see picture below). Depending on the type of wax, how much wax, and the amount of molasses you used the quantity of grounds needed will vary. I used 2 cups of molasses and 7.5 ounces of soy wax. Using a traditional tablespoon as my measuring device, I needed 20 heaping tablespoons of grounds. It is of the utmost importance that your grounds are completely dry and that your mixture is thoroughly and well blended with a glossy, sludge-like consistency before setting the log. Adjust the amount of grounds used to obtain this mold-able form. Coffee logs are an innovative biofuel solution produced from used coffee grounds from large and small coffee shops.

Naturally, coffee logs create a coffee aroma, but it’s really quite subtle and more like the faint waft you may get when walking past a coffee shop. Coffee logs can usually be bought from a range of local stores or supermarkets, or you can buy them online here. Can I Make My Own Coffee

Most modern stoves are more efficient than most older stoves, meaning a modern quality stove will burn fuel more economically and generate more heat over a longer period. Be prepared to break briquettes into smaller sections to fit into your stove comfortably. Many briquettes do expand whilst burning and you don't want them to expand onto the glass. From our experience of burning through a number of bags of coffee logs they can produce more smoke than burning either properly seasoned or kiln dried logs, but won’t produce as much smoke as burning wood that is too wet (over 20% moisture content). Cover the pan with aluminum foil and press firmly on the top of your log. Remove the foil and freeze your log for at least one hour. Our briquettes are all additive-free. Coffee Logs are made from untreated used coffee grounds mixed with pure wood sawdust and are held together by compression alone.

Welcome to Firemizer

We have both a wood stove and a multi fuel stove ( see the main differences between them here) and find that they burn even better in our stoves than our open fireplace. Upon opening the bag, you are presented with the lovely aroma of coffee. But you don’t have to worry about your house smelling like the local coffee hangout, as Coffee Logs don’t smell of coffee when they’re burning. To add to all this, we have the feel-good factor of knowing that you’re using a product produced from 100% waste, and which saves on greenhouse gas emissions. All these coffee grounds would otherwise be wastefully discarded. Turning the grounds into Coffee Logs instead saves 130% on CO2e emissions! Wasting coffee grounds makes no sense - it’s bad for the environment and expensive for coffee shops.
