This looks innovative in terms of shape and design but a bit papery – as though it may collapse any second!

You don’t really need the vitamin C powder. All you need is water,instant coffee & sodium carbonate which can be found either as Arm & Hammer washing soda or Soda Ash/PH plus used for swimming pools/spas (you can also cook regular baking soda in the oven[spread thin on a cookie sheet] for an hour at 450 F & ‘convert’ it to Sodium Carbonate). Instructions can be found on the internet and it actually works rather well though the negatives have a bit of base fog (no big deal with printing just increase the contrast) and scan well. They are sharp with fine grain but low contrast with excellent shadow detail.

I’ve only been to the Frisco location and it is superb…the coffee is very smooth and honestly the best cup I’ve ever had(except my own).
I’ve been there several times and the staff have always been friendly. The once or twice that I’ve gone there and they were not on their game ~ I’ve just thought it was a bad day…or an off day..we all have them.
Excellent coffee & snacks.

BTW, robusta works best according to Marquardt.

I first heard about this a couple of months ago on Chris Marquardt’s photo podcast. They were planning on using caffenol + vitamin C to develop their film at 16,000 feet on an Everest Trek (not to the summit). They were looking for a more environmentally friendly way to develop their film in the field because on past trips the sherpas would take the used chemicals and just pour them into the ground. They found out later though that the chemical change that the caffenol goes through in this process actually makes it more hostile to the environment than the standard developing chemicals. I don’t know any science behind it but I found it interesting.
