candlemakingkid Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 I am trying to find a hardness rating for coffee butter. Oils by Nature has ratings of different butters, i.e. cocoa butter softness rating--10Kokum butter softness rating--9Mango butter softness rating--8Shea Butter softness rating--has a range of 7-9 depending on type you use.I have never bought butters from them and only have used this as a reference. These are butters I have used in the past.I recently got coffee butter and was wondering if anyone has an idea on a softness rating for this one. Does it compare more to aloe butter softness 2 or should I consider it a harder one. I'd like to substitue it in butter recipes. But since this to me at least is a pricey butter I am trying not to waste any of it Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CareBear Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 How odd. Somewhere is a listing of melting point temps. I'll look for it - that might give you a good indication.\\\Drat - can't find it. I'm sure someone else can tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maryann Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Can't help ya on the rating but I bet its low, definately a SOFT, but luxurious butter. I'm w/ you .. it is expensive so I don't use much. I've made the coffee soap with it and a body scrub... it's such a nice butter. I ordered a coffee lip flavoring yesterday so I plan to try tweaking my balm recipe and adding coffee butter w/ the flavoring. I have so many coffee items its going to need it our category soon. I don't drink the stuff but LUV the smell, its sooooo intoxicating . BTW did you get your butter from FS&S?? I've been thinking of trying Ginny's.

April_A Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 I have some coffee butter and the stuff I have is very soft. Softer than the shea I have. If you want to try something awesome, get some coffee eo and make a lip balm with the coffee butter and the eo...... :drool: Even more yummy, add some cocoa absolute Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
