[Konvas] Develop with coffee....my post of the year!

[Dan Cordle]

I once toyed with the idea of using coffee as a developer. It's nice to know about in a pinch, and it's certainly a very environmentaly friendly way to develop film. The only downside might be the cost. I haven't done a comparison but suspect that using coffee would be more expensive than standard developing chemicals  - even is using the cheapest worst tasting, coffee grounds you could find. I'm also sure there are folks who argue to no end what the tonal differences are between Maxwell House and Starbucks coffees:)
