Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

If you're trying to learn how to make soap, melt and pour blocks are a great starting point. This is not considered “cold process” soap – we won't be using lye – but it's delicious smelling, wonderful, and handmade (with the help from the melt and pour base), and a lovely gift to give.

I made these espresso soaps for Rachel and my Mom for Valentine's Day. They both loved them, and of course I love them… which is probably why I made them in the first place. “Here's your gift. Can I use it now?” ;)

DIY Espresso Soap – Melt and Pour

If you're trying to learn how to make soap, melt and pour blocks are a great starting point. This is not considered “cold process” soap – we won't be using lye – but it's delicious smelling, wonderful, and handmade (with the help from the melt and pour base), and a lovely gift to give.

Materials

  • 1 pound melt and pour soap base I used the shea butter kind
  • 2 ounces espresso
  • 1/2 cup ground coffee beans I use Superstition's Veneto”s Blend
  • soap molds of your choice

Instructions

  • This espresso soap is so easy to make, and really you could make so many variations it's just insane! I love the “streaked” look of the espresso, so I used actual brewed espresso in this recipe, but it's not really necessary. As long as you've got the coffee grounds, it'll smell like coffee soap!
  • Melt 1 pound soap in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds, being careful not to burn the soap – or your hands! Pour in 2 ounces espresso, and stir.
  • Then, add in 1/2 cup ground coffee, and stir some more.
    DIY Espresso Soap
  • Pour soap/coffee mixture into molds and let harden. I am impatient so I put mine in the freezer for 30 minutes and they were ready. If you let them sit out at room temperature, it could take a few hours.

    What a great idea!! My daughter has very sensitive skin and can only use soap from one of the vendors at our local farmers market that makes their own. I never realized how easy it was to make your own though. We will have to give it a try. Thanks so much for linking up with Inspire Me Monday. Have a blessed weekend!!

    Do your coffee soap recipe need a preservative in this recipe? I’m wasn’t sure if the coffee grounds might get moldy. Thanks

      Joan, ours doesn’t last that long but I would make it in small batches to be sure!
