Developing Film with Coffee

I decided to try developing film with the Caffenol-C process (otherwise known as coffee + vitamin C).

Here are a few pictures of getting the chemicals ready and me agitating the tank:

This is the developer all mixed up. Everyone says it smells unbelievably horrible but it really smells like cheap instant coffee.



And the results? It has that 1940s grainy look to it. See for yourself:

Very cool that you tried this. The vintage and being somewhat a green process is another plus. Thanks for sharing.
