Easy Coffee Soap
Here at Ruffles and Rain Boots, I love making our own beauty and skin products. My daughter and I make our own soaps and bath bombs so we can control the ingredients while getting creative.
Although my daughter sat this one out, I put together this easy DIY soap recipe in an afternoon. It’s a fun way to use up some coffee beans that have been open a while and leftover melt and pour soap base.

Melt and Pour Coffee Soap Tips
- You’re going to need both coffee grounds and coffee beans for this easy DIY bar soap so plan ahead and get both. The grounds will actually be less visible but the beans look really cool on top.
- Although I created a pretty thick layer of coffee beans, if you’re making this soap DIY for others as a gift, go a bit lighter. Three or four coffee beans on top will make it easy for them to dispose of the accent easily. It’s just as impressive without them.
- Pay attention to the steps and work quickly. Quick soaps like this one are fun but we need to keep moving so nothing solidifies before our pour.
- Use whatever soap molds you have on hand or can find, but silicone is best for easy removal.
- This is a unique homemade gift idea and is perfectly paired with the coffee sugar scrub recipe here for a fun, themed gift basket. Add a coffee shop gift card and you’ll be seen as a gift-giving diva!

- Let the soap set for about three minutes, stirring it often. Add the coffee grounds and stir until the soap cools done but not set. You're basically trying to keep the grounds within the soap rather than rising to the top.
- Pour into the mold and let it set for up to 60 seconds. Add the coffee beans on top.
- Heat the last two soap squares for 20 seconds, remove, and stir. pour over the top of the coffee means. Then add a few more coffee beans on top.

Notes
If gifting these coffee soap bars, you might opt for less coffee beans as they will have to be removed from the soap during use.
It is optional, but you can add an additional coffee scent available on Amazon or Brambleberry.
