How do you make Coffee handmade soap?
You can easily make coffee soap at home using all natural ingredients.
We will use lye and sodium hydroxide, which can be very dangerous. Always use goggles and gloves while dealing with lye and making homemade soap. Once the lye mixes with oils, saponification occurs, which forms soap and glycerine as a by-product. No lye will remain in it.

Instructions to make coffee handmade soap
- Mix all the required quantities of oils in a beaker. If you’re making soap in the winter, warm the oils slightly and set them aside.
- Brew 1 gm of coffee and cool it.
- Take a glass beaker and add lye slowly and carefully to the water. Stir the solution until the lye is dissolved, then slowly pour it into the brewed coffee. Set aside the solution for cooling.
- Add coffee-lye water at the same temperature to the oils (90–100 degrees) and blend with a blender until a thin trace forms.
- Add the fragrance to the soap and continue mixing. If you are using essential oils, it is better to mix them with your hands only.
- Add another 1 tsp of coffee to the soap. Stir it with your hand.
- Pour the mixture into the cavities of the soap mould.
- If it was a little thinner, there was no need to tap; otherwise, tap gently to get rid of bubbles that were incorporated into it while mixing and pouring.
- Cover the soap mould and leave it. The next day, unmould the soaps and stay for a minimum of 2 weeks to cure.
Your coffee soap is ready to use.
