About Me

My photo
I have a wonderful family who supports my many hobbies including singing, soapmaking, wine tasting and rabbits. I recently retired from teaching English as a Second Language and love to travel. I started making soap in 1999 when we were showing goats in milk as a 4-H project. All of my soaps are made with pure oils and no animal fats. All fragrances are from essential oils. Store-bought "soap" is really a detergent. My soap will leave your skin clean and moisturized. Try some!

Coffee Beer Soap

This is a great soap for the kitchen or workshop.  A few folks have tried my first batch of Coffee Soap made with Tröegs JavaHead Stout and told me that the ground coffee bits were a little too rough.  This time I ground the whole coffee beans in the coffee grinder and then put them in my little food processor for a second grind.  I've decided to mold the beer soaps in PVC pipes and cut them with my new wavy cutter.

32 oz. Olive Oil
21 oz. Coconut Oil
12 oz. Palm Oil


9.8 oz Sodium Hydroxide

24 oz. JavaHead Stout


1/2 cup ground coffee beans

Essential Oils:  Rosemary, Lemongrass, Patchouli
