Coffee oil is a versatile product used in skincare, haircare, and even culinary applications. This homemade method involves infusing coffee beans in oil to extract their beneficial compounds.
1. Coffee Beans: Start with fresh, roasted coffee beans. The top-left image shows a hand holding whole beans, indicating the raw material for the infusion.
2. Grinding: The beans are ground into a coarse powder to increase the surface area for extraction, as seen in the top-right image where coffee grounds are in a glass bowl.
3. Infusion: Oil is poured over the coffee grounds (top-right image). The mixture is left to steep, allowing the oil to absorb coffee’s oils and antioxidants.
4. Straining: After infusion, the mixture is filtered to separate the liquid coffee oil from the solid grounds. The bottom-left image shows a woman pointing at a jar where oil is being poured into coffee grounds, suggesting the preparation step before straining.
5. Final Product: The filtered oil is collected in a jar, as shown in the bottom-right image, where dark coffee oil is being transferred into a glass jar for storage and use.
