Nothing beats away the winter chill than a warm crackling fire in the fireplace. You casually grab a log of coffee and throw it on the fire. Its warm … wait, log of coffee?

Seems odd to consider, but java-log.com has been selling condensed logs of used coffee grounds since 1998. According to Rod Sprules, the inventor of the Java-Log, the condensed Java-Logs:

Better/Brighter Flames – more natural flame from coffee than other manufactured firelogs; Coffee has about 25% more energy than wood and triple the flame per unit of energy

Better Scent – a faint sweet aroma, but most importantly it has “NO CHEMICAL SMELL” associated with other manufactured logs

Clean burning – Java-logs produce significantly fewer emissions than firewood:

  • 96% less residue after combustion
  • 85% less carbon monoxide
  • 86% less creosote deposits
  • 31% less particulate matter

Easy to light – With just one match you can light both sides of the product paper, then sit back and watch your fire grow.

Better for the environment – less landfill waste, saves trees

Better for your chimney – Naturally made with substantially less wax than wood-based fire-logs, Java-Logs produce significantly less soot build-up than wood.

Burns 2-3 Hours – the same amount of time as other firelogs of the same size.

Coffee it would seem can keep us warm in more ways than one. I plan on buying some of these logs for an upcoming camping trip. A more detailed review will follow. Thank you gradin.com for bringing java-log.com to my attention!
