Hi All - new subscriber here *waves*
There's many ways to colour soap Pauline, none are really 'best' .. I like
clay,
mica, & oxides myself .. I've never used the liquid dyes but know many people
who do and are very happy with the results ..
Not sure if you were thinking to add the brewed coffee or ground beans, but the
scent of coffee won't come through in your soap unless you add the fragrance or
essential oil (referring to cold or hot process not m&p which I know nothing
about), and it will discolour .. That said I don't find the grounds bleed their
colour much, and It's a nice additive in kitchen bars as coffee absorbs scents,
plus the ground beans are a good exfoliant to remove dough, gardening dirt etc
..
Hope that helps, and I hope I posted it right - I just hit reply?
