Developing black and white film with coffee is much easier than I thought. To do this I followed some instructions that @Bacinacho gave me and I am very grateful for. The coffee to be used must be instant and with caffeine. The more caffeine the coffee has, the more developing power it will have. If we get a classic instant coffee, it will be fine. Remember that you can use the hashtag on Instagram #Reveladocaffenol so that I can see your photos developed with coffee and share knowledge about this technique. Next I will leave in writing the steps to be able to successfully develop with Caffenol CH (the H is for Highspeed, so we can develop film of 400 ISO or higher) 1. Prepare the film in the tank 2. Write down the grams of each component 3. Prepare the water (if it is distilled better) for the mixture 4. Introduce the desired amount of Sodium Carbonate (IMPORTANT: Follow the correct order of ingredients) 5. Introduce the desired amount of Vitamin C powder (flavorless) 6. Introduce the desired amount of Iodized Salt 7. Introduce the desired amount of Instant Coffee with caffeine 8. The mixture should be at approximately 20ºC 9. Stir the entire mixture well so that it dilutes correctly 10. Introduce the Caffenol CH into the developing tank 11. Stir continuously for the first 30 seconds 12. Then stir 5 times every 30 seconds, until complete 15 minutes of 13. We wash with tap water before introducing the fixer 14. We pour the fixer and repeat the process as for development but for 3-4 minutes (same agitation) 15. Wash with tap water for 5 minutes 16. REELS READY! Now we must let them dry completely The development process is very similar to when we develop black and white film. In fact, the fixer is the same as for black and white. Below I leave you the components necessary to develop with coffee. #CoffeeDevelopment #Caffenol I hope you found it interesting! // I'M ALSO HERE Instagram: / cralisare // COMPONENTS FOR DEVELOPING Developing tank: https://amzn.to/2BABlM0 Light-sealed bag: https://amzn.to/2UXIygj Sodium carbonate: https://amzn.to/2UQseOC Vitamin C powder: https://amzn.to/2StsTJ4 Iodized salt: https://amzn.to/2Syixrt Fixer: https://amzn.to/2GnFbw8 // MATERIAL USED Youtube camera: https://amzn.to/2NeXFOb Objective: https://amzn.to/2Ripds8 Lights: https://amzn.to/2RfKSi0 Tripod: https://amzn.to/2DLBcsE // MUSIC Simon Jefferis: / simonjefferis Knowmadic: / knowmadicbeats
