Product Information

By recycling the nation’s cappuccinos into Coffee Logs heating briquettes, we reduce emissions by 80% compared to those grounds sitting in landfill, making these efficient logs a sustainable alternative for fuelling your fire without heating the planet.

If the used coffee grounds weren’t collected from a variety of coffee-making places, it’s likely that a large amount end up in landfill. In landfill, the coffee grounds would eventually degrade and release methane into the atmosphere, a potent greenhouse gas. Coffee logs are made from recycled coffee grounds and offer a sustainable alternative to traditional wood logs. Plus, they’re easy to make at home! Here’s how: It is this last aspect that Bio-Bean's Coffee Logs helped combat. Instead of being thrown into the bin, coffee grounds could now be sent to Bio-Bean and recycled into a briquette fuel. These briquettes were designed specifically for use in regular log burners and multi-fuel stoves. The manufacturer even claimed that they burned 20% hotter and longer than traditional wood logs, which made them almost as good as sawdust-based briquettes . Environmental Benefits of Coffee Logs They emit less greenhouse gas than burning wood, use a waste product to make and are made from entirely natural materials, when formed using natural wax. So, yes, they are environmentally friendly.Coffee scented fire logs are a cool concept, especially if you experiment when making your own bespoke coffee logs. Think of them as the Yankee candles of the log world… You’ll be able to control the scent. If you’re not a fan of strong coffee smells, you can simply use fewer coffee beans when making your logs. Conversely, if you love the smell of fresh coffee, you can use more beans to make your logs more fragrant.

The vibrant campaign graced the UK's largest indoor advertising screen, Waterloo Motion, while also making its presence felt on social media platforms. How Successful Was Coffee Logs at Its Peak?

We welcome the government’s move as a significant step in the right direction for reducing reliance on carbon-heavy fossil fuels and cutting emissions contributing to climate change. Our briquettes are all additive-free. Coffee Logs are made from untreated used coffee grounds mixed with pure wood sawdust and are held together by compression alone. Cut another section of foil or greaseproof paper and place it on top of the grounds and press firmly down to compact them. Coffee Logs are an unique product, made in England from waste coffee grounds mixed with sawdust from local sawmills. The coffee grounds are collected from cafes, offices, factories, universities etc throughout the UK, repurposing a waste product. Tom Bage, the company's head of marketing, teamed up with Studio of Art & Commerce to birth a comprehensive brand strategy. The campaign revolved around the idea that Coffee Logs are a 'wonderfuel' that helps reduce waste. While this is true for all types of biomass briquettes, this advertising angle proved popular for coffee logs.You might choose to make a log at a time and pop them in the oven when you’re using it to cook something else. This would save on having to turn the oven on just to make a single log. If you have more than one old loaf tin, then you can make several at a time instead. This certification scheme sits alongside the already existing scheme for dried wood, which is also known as ‘Ready to Burn’.

To make additional briquettes simply repeat the process. Once you have enough briquettes place them in your wood burner and light your fire as normal and add briquettes as required. On 1 st May, new government regulations on the sale and burning of domestic solid fuels came into force, putting in place a ban in England on the sales of traditional house coal and wet wood. The regulations also bring in a new certification scheme (known as ‘Ready to Burn’) for manufactured solid fuels that are deemed ‘smokeless’. It’s estimated that it takes the used grounds from around 20 cups of coffee to create one coffee log.By transforming these grounds into Coffee Logs, Bio-Bean claimed to reduce overall emissions by 80% compared to the grounds being landfilled. This is comparable with the emission reductions we see when recycling hardwood sawdust to create Sawdust Briquettes or Hardwood Heat Logs and when recycling softwood sawdust when creating Night Briquettes and Fire Logs . Where Did Bio-Bean Source Grounds For Their Coffee Logs? We have both a wood stove and a multi fuel stove ( see the main differences between them here) and find that they burn even better in our stoves than our open fireplace. Coffee Logs burn long and slow under normal airflow conditions – more air will give a gentle flame and good heat. They perform very well mixed with other fuels.
