Coffee-Ceremony-2

The weekly Ethiopian coffee-roasting ceremony at Sidamo Coffee & Tea on H Street NE. Since this was all about coffee, I thought it fitting to develop the film in coffee, too. Specifically, Caffenol C, which is nothing more than some Folger's instant coffee, Arm & Hammer Washing Soda and ground-up Vitamin C. Yes, folks, this concoction can develop film. Is there anything coffee can't do?

Seriously, you can develop film in coffee? That is possibly the coolest thing ever, and I will have to try it some day. And congrats on being a DCist winner. :-)
