You know, I've always wanted to try caffenol and thanks to http://caffenol.blogspot.com/ by Reinhold, I had plenty of info to get started. So this is what I understood as the proper recipe and in the this order
Water - 1 litre
Laundry Soda - 100 gm.
Vitamin C - 16 gm.
Instant Coffee Crystals - 40 gm.
Salt (iodide) - 6 gm.
Starting with the water at 20C and mixing in each ingredients until fully dissolved. Laundry soda requires patients.
Due to the poorly stored roll of film shot six years ago with a Holga, I think I came out very well.
I did forget and used the wrong agitation method, doing a 5 inversion every 30 seconds. The recommended is 3 inversions every minute.
