I love your videos; you use plain english, don’t play music over you’re explanations (many people do and it makes hearing the words difficult), you seem like someone who honestly just wants to share their knowledge, you’re easy to follow no matter what skill level someone has who is watching, and you are a kind and sincere happy person.

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

Thank you so much, that's wonderful feedback.

[@bringthemesstv]

I love that she doesn't play music. That is so distracting and weird when you are trying to teach.

[@belindaear1082]

I really like how you show us the whole process and include your thoughts and reasonings when you deviate from the usual protocol. I especially like that you show us the gelling, cutting, and lather! Thanks so much! The scientist in me is satiated by your soap making. :)

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

Thank you so much! I appreciate that a lot.

[@angelinagarcia112]

I would like your recipe to measure by oz not % I likes how u are so patience

[@MariaMendes-oj9kg]

Põe o nome dos ingredientes,com tradição para o português,quero fazer a receita,sou de Porto Velho Rondônia Brasil🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱

[@rhondamartens110]

Can I use olive oil and extra virgin olive interchangeable

[@OleanderStarr]

@@angelinagarcia112 The % is actually really very helpful. If Elly were to use exact weight measurements then you might end up with more or less soap than you were hoping for. With using %, you can tailor the weight measurements for the amount of soap that you want. For example if a recipe called for 50% Olive oil, Elly might need 100 ounces for her mold, you may need 32 ounces for your mold and I may need 5 ounces for my mold. We are all using the same exact recipe but the amounts of each ingredient that we need are all different.

[@sarabytheseaSD]

I took a break from soapmaking for a couple years. It's so addicting!! I made enough soap for 3 years, and we're a family of 5! I miss it though. I'm planning on returning, but your videos were my "go to" videos for soapmaking. I've tried cold and hot process, and I loved them both. Something about using natural, fresh ingredients and also the satisfaction of making it yourself keeps me coming back. Thank you for sharing your videos with us. 🙏

[@rossydv]

Did you return? Love to see your soaps. I’m new. Two batches in.

[@loriebrewer496]

You are so welcome!

[@connieperkins3686]

I have been binge watching your videos! I have ordered so much supplies so I can make soap! I had made some soap or tried several years ago. It did not turn out so here we go again! My husband has cancer so Im trying to make a little income to help out. I’m also a newborn photographer but I’m getting older and my body hurts! Not to mention so many people around me have started a photography business and because I was high end its hurt my business due to cheep photographers coming in. The coffee soap is going to be my first to make as I love coffee. Thank you for the videos I know If I lived close I would want to visit you! Thank you again!

[@jacquibuckley6015]

You are one of my favourite soapers and I love how you present your videos. Your instructions are simple and easy to follow, and your creations are always 😊exciting and fun to make. Thank you for not playing music over the top of your videos. My autistic brain can't understand what's happening when there is speech and music playing together. Xx

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

Hi Jacqui, thank you so much for that feedback. I don't have any diagnosis but I suspect I might be on the spectrum too (super high masking!!). I can't watch videos with music and talking together either. One thing at a time is enough :)

[@angiecardwell262]

I just recenty talked to my husband about me making soap. I love how you are very informative. I also loved you showing how well the soap lathered. That was one thing my husband and I where wondering is how well it'll lathered. Thanks again and please continue making soap for us all.

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

Thanks Angie, that's nice to hear. Glad you're enjoying the channel :)

[@laimenchiu222]

[@emmahook9058]

Hi Elly! I made this soap a few days ago and I'm in love. It's a lovely color (so far..lol) and the grounds are beautifully suspended throughout. The scent is heavenly.. seems to smell like a chocolate cake baking with coffee brewing at the same time! Thankyou for a gorgeous easy recipe! Cheers! :)

[@utibeumo7400]

That's great! Please kindly share your recipe

[@donnastormer9652]

I am going to experiment with your recipe by making one with coffee and one with water and then adding some white pigment to the batter then I’m going to swirl it in the mold and call it coffee and cream! Thank you for the recipe. I will work on those for Christmas gifts this year. 2023.

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

Wonderful!

[@lisathompson7966]

I use a very fine ground coffee and put it directly in my lye water solution. The heat "brews" the coffee. Then I add to my oils when the temp is right. I am happy with this method.

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

That's clever!

[@lnytita6763]

Aloha! I'm just starting my journey of homemade soap making... AND I love coffee... I think this will be my first recipe!! Mahalo/Thanks for sharing!

Thank you, Elly . I made this a long time ago. It was so beautiful i must make another batch up. I gave to friends they all loved it. . I do not make as much soap these days. But sure will make this again, but keep it for myself this time. Well give some away for special friends. ❤

[@aliceswonders104]

Thanks Elly. That was great! I especially liked the way you didn't panic when the soap cracked and just went with the flow.

that soap is Beautiful Elly

[@NikkiPretorius]

I use my grounds for personal use as a substitute (instead of sugar) in a sugar scrub. I absolutely LOVE it for my summer feet! I work in a dusty, hot environment, and I live in flip-flops. My feet get very dry and rough in summer, but my coffee scrub sorts it right out. Plus, it smells phenomenal.

I had been looking all over youtube for a coffee soap and yours is the best!!

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

Oh thank you! I ADORE this recipe.

[@ontarioweddingofficiant9691]

for the coffee recipie, it calls for 150 g shea butter and 75 g cocoa butter, can I use 225 coffee butter? I only have coffee butter right now and I thought it would be perfect but I do not want to mess up the recipie, I will buy shea if I have to but wanted to ask about combining the weight of 2 butters into 1 butter?

One for the men in the family, I love the smell of coffee but hate the taste. Thanks Elly, it’s a great looking coffee soap on my list to do. I’ve been using most of the ingredients in this recipe, with addition of castor & sweet almond and minus rice bran and coffee ,sure makes great soaps mind your pink and white soap has cured beautifully and wonderful to use too.

[@soulkalastudio]

I watched alot of coffee soap making tutorials and I think this is the best one so far, not only is the measurement in grams which I can easily understand but it also demonstrates the trace ability based on the oils. I formulated my own recipe with the similar ratios and oils except I don't have rice brand and it's interesting to see how it might possibly turn out. Simple but good recipe

First lemme express how much i love ur channel. Straight to the point with lots of tips, detailed explanation and above all you are so tidy and neat which makes watching ur videos seamless and comforting like watching ASMR for relaxation ❤ Second, please help i have a dilemma I am new to soap making i have a problem with temperatures My recipe is: Olive oil 350g Coconut oil 150 g 5% superfat 71 g sodium 190 g water All according to soap calculator First time i prepared it, the lye was cold ( i prepare it night before) when i mixed it it traced in 10 sec gave me false trace i poured and wasn’t able to cut before 48h cuz it was crumbling, the next day the bars started to crack on the surface. I tried repatching didn’t work i ended up throwing it away. Second time i tried, i brought oils to about 45 degree (testing by hand) and raised the lye temp by placing it in hot water container. The second the lye touched the oils it crumbled i kept stirring and started seeing translucent batches then liquid separated i assume it was lye it was lighter than oil. I ended up HP it and still waiting to cut. What am i doing wrong? Do i heat or not around coconut oil. Thank you very much in advance. ❤

​@@EllysEverydaySoapMaking Hi Elly... thank you for your willingness to share with thoes of us who's learning your craft. I made this soap, and it was really nice, but it was soft and airy.

[@lnytita6763]

Aloha Elly! I didn't have enough Shea Butter for a full batch, so I scaled the recipe down to half-batch. I used the INSTANT COFFEE method, with ice cubes of water for the lye. I got a little bit creative in my (6 cavity) muffin/cupcake mold and a (6 cavity) pet paw mold. I saved a little bit of the batter before I added the instant coffee to use in a squeeze bottle to decorate the tops. I did add a little brown coloring to each batter (the coffee base & much less for the topping). I'm not the best at decorating, but I'm tickled pink at what turned out. 😁 I'll check back with the results after curing.☕ PS. A half-batch filled both the (6 cavity) muffin mold and a (6 cavity) pet paw mold to the brim.

[@trishapomeroy9251]

What a glorious soap!

[@koogle612]

Made this very recipe this morning. Sped up my lye mix by placing stainless steel bowl in a chilled water bath while Sodium hydroxide was mixed into ice cubes. Worked like a charm about 2-3 minutes total. End temp was 95'F. Whisked only the emulsion & had an end of mix temp of 80'F. Added choc fragrance (10 g) & coffee fragrance (5 g) & a bit of cedar atlas (5 g) thought I'd try a mocha scent. It was cool & slow setting up so I did the warm oven trick for 5 hrs & just wrapped it in wool still only at 120'F. Trying not to peek for a good gel. 11 am tmrw moment of truth. It smells a bit strong now but Im guessing that will mellow over 4 weeks. Cant wait to cut it & see how it feels. I did add kaolin white, french green & red clay (3% combined of total oils- premixing by eye in a little oil) to deepen that nice rich brown color & it looks exactly like melted milk chocolate. Cant wait to see the extra fine grounds that came through my little french press strainer (a very fine silt - same as at the bottom of your cup). I put 3% sugar & 2% citric & 1.2% kosher salt & sodium lactate, & .7% vitamin E as the preservative. All of these I learned from Georges videos & I now structure all my recipes in that same format. This makes for a more uniform approach to the whole thing. My soaps are a hit with friends so far we'll sed how they like this 1. Thank you. Each batch becomes more gratifying. Next lemon myrtle w pink clay.

[@EllysEverydaySoapMaking]

You're gaining some fantastic mastery there James, wonderful! Your soap sounds absolutely superb.

Could you place soap mold on seed mat to encourage gel phase? Also, I wonder if you could rinse coffee grounds a whole lot to drain color so grounds won't leach? Beautiful soap. I plan to make this.
