Woodturning Coffee BEANS Into a Coffee CUP!

Wonder what happens with bag of coffee beans on the lathe? Let’s find out!
For starters, no project has ever smelled so good!
When I began woodturning the coffee beans into a coffee mug I had no idea what to expect. I just wanted to do a little something different. Would it even hold together? Would I find air pockets all over given all the small cracks and crevices between and inside the coffee beans? Which would make the piece too weak to cut into anything of use. This was more of a long shot experiment than a potentially successful project. I did not have high hopes for this to turn out well.
You might have noticed I ran my PSI up to 80 instead of the usual 60 PSI in the pressure chamber given all of the small places for air to hide. I have a strong feeling this helped because in certain spots the walls of tumbler were sanded down thinner than the width of a coffee bean. Impossible to do without the cup collapsing in on itself! So I thought.
Another thing you may notice is after doing the initial shaping and drilling on the coffee mug, not a single blade touched the coffee bean/epoxy mixture for the rest of the project- only on the spalted oak base and lid were metal tools used again. All of the shaping was done with heavy grit sandpaper because it's a lot less aggressive on the already thin cup. That's how careful I wanted to be with the pice after an unexpectedly successful (but very slow) drilling process.
In case you were wondering, I did go back and coat the entire cup in a food grade epoxy. I didn't have any on hand at the time of the video. Here's the link to the stuff I used:
www.amazon.com...
Enjoy!
Disclaimer: After decades of wood working (wood turning, sculpting, building projects) I’ve developed unique techniques when putting certain tools to use. In some cases this is very dangerous and not recommended for you to try. If you decide to use tools like those presented in my videos, please follow their intended uses and directions.
Is there "food grade" epoxy you could treat the wood with, to seal it? It feels like untreated wood would be safe to use with anything but water. Imagine an untreated, "raw" wood coffee cup. It would absorb the coffee (and cream & sugar, if you like them), & become a breeding ground for bacteria & mold (nless there is some aspect of this project you didn't show, i.e. treating the wood off-screen).
Good question! I use oat milk so no spoilage of dairy milk to worry about. And the wood actually works as a natural anti microbial, keeping conditions more sanitary than you’d expect (probably why wood cutting boards are so commonly used). And for the coffee beans and resin, you nailed it! I went back and coated it with a food grade epoxy because I didn’t have any on hand at the time of the project.
@@PrestonsProjects Very cool! Thank you for answering, I love learning about these processes through videos like yours, things which I'd have no way learn about otherwise.
@@alden1132 I always appreciate the curiosity! I believe it’s pertinent for a fulfilled life. Stay curious!
@@PrestonsProjects What is the food grade epoxy you use, most of the stuff I find isnt food grade
Only reason i came here is to say the orange/beeswax you used in vid is not food safe. Didn’t want you poisoning yourself. Glad you knew 👍🏼
The smell of wood and coffee in the shop must have been epic.
Sure was!!
@@PrestonsProjects I’m going to shit my pants 😫😫
does epoxy have a smell too?
@@colincarter8694 usually just when you pour it. after its setup it doesn't smell much.
@@oggatog3698 what about when you’re turning it
For me, a transparent color of epoxy would have been better so that you will see all the coffeabeans layers. Also would have been nice if you have shown the final product longer in the end.
Agreed!
Would've been much better.
Agreed. Would love to see more versions and more lid designs.
Just pause the video
@@jaymorel8641 Just had to say hello to someone with a little common sense. A rare thing these days.
Looks supercool, but I think it would've looked better if the epoxy was see-through. Seeing the beans suspended "in air" would've been really cool
He didn't use epoxy cause it is harmful to human body
@@Rabipatel1 did u watch the video?... he used tabletop epoxy and another type with the beans...0:34 .. he also said in another comment he used food grade epoxy for last coating of cup that's not in this video
@@Rabipatel1
L
Not true. Peter brown did a clear epoxy and coffee bean project that looked awful when it was finished.
@@thebat7505 yeah it looks like rabbit poop. I made some gauges for a friend with this white epoxy technique, it looks way better with the contrast in my opinion
I bet that was the best smelling wood project ever. It's beautiful.
that's what I was thinking, I could imagine the smell of wood and coffee
and glue.......
@@jameskid81 цианакрилат
That's exactly what I thought!
You’re hot damn right it smelled good. Thank you!!
Legend has it, he's still cleaning coffee bits out of his workshop to this day.
bean bits
Nah, let it smell like coffee
That the exposed surface beans dissolved when water was poured into the cup.
Ur cool
But it smells great
Dead honest. My favorite part of this vid was him stopping the machine with his foot!
Yaaaaaaas!¡
Absolutely 🤣🤣🤣
So true
Same!
5:15
“The best part of waking up is epoxy in your cup!” Thank you thank you, I’ll be here all week. ::bows
What impresses me the most is the fact he was able to get the Peets bag back together after shredding it like that
Lol ffs 🤣
I’m not sure if this is a subtle troll or if I’m missing something
I bet that was the best smelling project you've ever done! Yum!
10/10 I highly recommend this project!
Through the whole video all I could think was how good the shop must have smelled!
My sentiments exactly...
Ha ha ha.... I was just thinking the same thing!!🤗
And doh I just commented bf I red this ! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I have mixed feelings on this project. I believe it would have looked better with a clear epoxy.
I've tried many variations with coffee beans and white remains the favorite.
@@PrestonsProjects
I can see why you’d want the top lip to be white. It gives a visual line where the edge is.
I also think if the mid-body of the cup can have clear epoxy, that would have being epic.
Can you pour two different mix of epoxy in one pouring? Or would the clear & white diffuse too much into each other during the curing and be all mixed up?
@@reallifeengineer7214 Just from my own dabbling in epoxy you would likely have to do two different pours to get the clear to stay clear. You'd have to pour the first 2/3 - 3/4 clear, let it cure, then pour the white on top.
The semen colored epoxy is not doing it for me either. clear amber color would look nice tho
@@BenjaxAraya quite descriptive 😂. And yeah, clear amber would look good.
Amazing work! As a former machinist, I love seeing wood lathes used to create art. However, as a former machinist, please let the lathe come to a stop on its own and don't touch the piece until it is finished spinning. I had to have a massive splinter removed from my hand because I didn't let the piece stop spinning, and it was expensive.
I was about to say the same thing Everytime he reached out to stop it my anxiety spiked lol. I've seen to many peoples hands and too many videos of peoples hands getting turned into mush by lathes (granted the majority are by metal lathes but....).

@@Praise___YaH okay cool but can we talk about lathes
@@Praise___YaH Nobody cares mate.
@@rogthepirate4593
No sir, many care, you don’t, that’s all on you
I dont think I would ever drink out of it, but as a piece of woodworking genius it would be in my collection. LOVE to watch the lathe at work, its so relaxing for me somehow. Thanks.
Once it is sealed with food grade epoxy it is perfectly safe to drink from.
@@dreyhawk but it wasn't, at the time at least, and people not delving into the comments later (now) have valid concerns
@@vegabondtenai9948 It wasn't sealed when he made the video because he did not have any food grade epoxy on hand. As soon as he acquired it he sealed the cup. In the meantime it just sat as decor. I'm not saying their concerns are not valid. I'm just stating that it is possible to make such a cup safe to use.
@@dreyhawk isn't all epoxy made from BPA? Can it ever really be consider perfectly safe given the concerns people have about BPA now?
@@namaan123 People are stupid, this should not be news to you. BPAs are only a problem under specific circumstances. Circumstances that the average person never encounters.
I feel like that would make a cool lamp shade for a coffee bar. For one of those pendent lights that hang down. Especially if you used a clear or even gold color epoxy with the ring at the end.
Too opaque for a lamp shade
@@BinCaAlors do you not have eyes he said clear or gold my guy
Not a bad idea. Everyone recommending clear epoxy doesn’t realize it would only look good if it was lit up from the inside like with your idea
15:15 Customer- ”I ordered a flat white coffee mug!”
Barrista Carpenter-”😐"
I live in Menlo Park, California, and I got this story from a guy who used to frequent Peet's coffee shop before I moved here. Mr. Peet used to run his coffee shop in Menlo Park. One of his customers was Sargent Dickason who, when he bought coffee beans, had Mr. Peet blend two or three types together. Mr. Peet liked the flavor of Dickason's blend, so he started selling it to other customers. When he named it, he boosted Dickason's rank to Major.
The moment you see the dude turning off the lathe with his foot, you know he’s good 🤣
Nope, he didn’t plan ahead.
Im looking for dis comment haha
@@robertlangley258 not sure about good, but flexible for sure!
@@robertlangley258 who’s to say that wasn’t the plan all along?!
Or just different
Very surprised you didn’t glaze the surfaces with resin and polish it after turning to seal the cut beans.
First thought I had. If you have an uninterrupted coffee bean that extends from the inside to the outside, I wouldn't expect it to last long.
He mentioned in another comment that he had gone back and sealed the mug with food-grade epoxy later as he did not have it then.
Exactly what I thought
All those beans at the bottom on the outside with holes in them and between the wood at the bottom were bothering me. I wanted to see him go and fill them in. I assume the food grade resin got used inside and out off camera 🤞🏼
It's extra coffee flavor!
He's just "grinding some beans" to make a "cup of coffee"...
😂
Epic pun fun
Epoxy + food(coffee) + heat doesn't sound like a good combination
The best paaart of waaaking up, is carving out your cuuup!
Love the build, although I gotta say seeing coffee beans on white resin has got be craving some cookies & cream ice cream XD
Honestly, I think that's why it's my favorite color combo when turning coffee beans. Makes me want to bite into the cup and start eating it. Thank you!!
@@PrestonsProjects 😋😄👍
Lol, it had me craving cookies and cream chocolate
You just gave me an idea for coffee cookies and cream ice cream. Once in a while, I make my own using heavy whipping cream and condensed milk
@@patrickschardt7724 That sounds like a great idea! That touch of bitterness from the coffee would match the sweetness of the cookies.
You chose a beautiful wood. The grain complements the beans perfectly!
This is actually the worst part of the log. It is the core of the stem, the more of this structure you have the closer to being rotten it is. Usually you would only use it for burning wood, but for optical purposes it seem to suffice. In general the whiter an cleaner the wood is overall, the better and more expensive.
I agree, the wood had great character.
Anyone know what type of wood that was?
@@GiGiAUT1987 It's a spalted wood but could be pecan or something else. I'm "voting" for it being pecan tho
This was so cool! I'm not a wood worker, but I do have some epoxy resin I've been wanting to try. I don't see myself ever personally woodturning, but I really enjoy watching your videos. You make it look easy.
Won’t know unless ya try!!
How do you grind your coffee?
Well, first I warm up the lathe.
Kind of expensive for a grinder grinder but it does a great job!
@@PrestonsProjects well, there are 4000$ coffee grinders. At least with a lathe you can lathe stuff too
I loved how he saved the left over coffee grinds back into the packet 😂
@@wizdude yes I'm still wondering what he's planning with those 😆 hopefully a project and not a cup of coffee 🤔
This project probably smelled heavenly all the way through 💯
That was my first thought!
Smelled like a gas fired roastery on a Christmas morning
Best coffee mug yet, just add hot water, instant coffee taken to a new level!😊
It’s the new thing!!
Yes, until the beans turns transparent then need to change.😄
Just kidding.😁
I could watch you do these things all day!
You are amazingly creative!
Your talent is very unique and amazing to watch!
Thank you❣️
Thanks Mary 😃
Excellent choice of beans. Captain Dickson sure created a smooth coffee blend, and how nice of Peet to promote him to Major.
Wasted of food
@@benmakenzie5481 I didn’t understand why he didn’t use a bad brand of coffee.
@@jfftck I don't get why people produce more junk
More beauty shots at the end please, that's the reward! Makes me want to get a lathe! Nice job.
That is really awesome. Note on the lid seal: you can superglue the seal together where you cut it, so you can cut it slightly undersized (maybe .020"-.050") and superglue it together off the lid, then seal the lid and just slip the seal on and off. The reason I bring this up is because mold can develop under the seal.
I was thinking this too
Or just use a properly sized o ring, so it could be replaceable.
Probably the best smelling lathe project of _all_ time I would think. Nope.. can't think of anything that would produce a smell more satisfying from a material being turned on a lathe.
Brilliant! ☕☕Cheers!
Fun to watch! I started picturing a beer stein made out of hops and wheat- that's a lot of work though
Hey, not a bad idea!!
Hops contain the female sex hormone Oestrogen / Estrogen which is responsible for female physical features and reproduction. It reduces testosterone/androgen levels in men. So guys, drink beer if you want man boobs, a gut and mood swings.
@@AndyJayLark so does soy, so you really can't eat any packaged or processed foods because all of them have soy as an ingredient.
@@rebeccacampbell585 Thanks for pointing that out. Really the best food is homegrown, am I right Rebecca?
@@AndyJayLark oh shut up with your stupid internet stories. Learn some real FACTS before you spew your garbage.
Resin builds like these are the sampling of woodworking
Nobody said it yet? Okay.
That project is really eye-opening!
Seriously, nicely done!
Thank you Andy!
I had my doubts about the whole concept, but I must admit - the result is a very cool, fun, unique mug!
5:20 incredible hand-foot coordination.
It's incredible like it doesn't matter where you look there is a whole life of knowledge and expertise, great work!
My husband's favorite coffee! He would love this! He's been drinking Major Dickenson's since the late 70's, early 80's. Mr Peet taught him to make coffee properly! So cool.
Oh man that looks YUMMY! Glad you used white, looks like cream, clear would have turned yellow eventually and looked gross. I'd like to see a mug type coffee cup made this exact way. This one is more of a tumbler shape, Brilliant! 👍
I agree! Totally makes it look like a "latte cup"
I'm going through all the comments an I am Happy to see that you actually took the time to thank people and point them into the right direction.. Kudos to You. Keep up the good work
Thanks Frank :) viewer feedback is what keeps me goin!!
That smells so good just watching him cut the coffee beans on the lathe!
My favorite part is when you stopped the lathe with your foot. 😂 You make some awesome stuff! God bless you
Years of funny walking have made me quite flexible. Thanks Ben!
@@PrestonsProjects 😂
@@PrestonsProjects my 12 year old daughter likes to watch them with me too. You've got a creative genius ability. Very cool stuff!
@@homemademusic7 glad you’re enjoying it! I got some fresh long-form videos coming. I’ve been MIA for too long!
A beautiful craft! 😍
I think I would have preferred a transparent epoxy- it gives more visual texture of the beans.
And I might have like a different shape lid a bit more- but I've never done wood turning so maybe that was the best shape to do!
Surprisingly clear epoxy looks terrible with this design. You would think it’s bright and you can see every bean but it actually goes very opaque and the beans/epoxy look one color.
Very cool. Bet the shop smelled heavenly while you were turning this piece. 😃😃
That’s an understatement!
When I was cutting and sanding the epoxy the material heated up quite a bit- enough to make it smell like the coffee was actually roasting.
Apple: "Sir, our warranty for your IWatch does not include coffee and resin shavings..."
It's Apple watch
That’s magical. Makes me want to return to woodworking.
Next: "Wood turning a wood turner into a tree."
🤣🤣🤣🤣 exactly what i was thinking 🤣🤣🤣
Beautiful job! Hopefully “food grade” epoxy as previously mentioned. Or perhaps sleeve it with the liner of a metal thermal cup. Very ingenious tho!
The metal liner is a great idea
Is there actual food grade epoxy? I highly doubt it and nearly puked when I saw what he will use to make a cup for hot baverage...
@trails Yeah, I would line it with a stainless steel sleeve. I’m not drinking hot liquids out of an epoxy cup
@@lunadecat1991 yes, he lined the cup with it afterwards
@@lunadecat1991 Not for coffee or tea temperatures there isn't. 99.9% of "food grade" epoxy you will find, especially for a cheap price, is using FDA wording loopholes and at best you can "safely" keep cold/room temperature food on it. Heat will melt epoxy and chemicals will slowly leech into what you're drinking.
I bet that was a great smelling session of turning! Beautiful results!
It was very pleasant. Thanks Wonderboy!
People keep saying a clear epoxy would have been better, but I like the way it looks. Reminds me of a bowl of Cocoa Puffs!
The lid is cool, has that old world map feeling to it. Absolutely highest standard craftsmanship.
The Spaulted Oak you used has beautiful grain. It gives it a very rich look.
I love how the natural patterns on top of the lid coincidentally look like a world map.
Is that because coffee is adored worldwide? Except Bangladesh
Hahaha, nature is full of wonders. And indeed coffee is a worldwide staple. Didn't know in Bangladesh it's unpopular.
@@mrmoneybagz yeah, strange…
I'm only here because the thumbnail showed a bag of Peet's Coffee, and I happened to buy one just like that yesterday.
Tip: If you need the beans to pack down before the resin, use an upside down orbital sander to vibrate and force the beans closer together.
Is it a safe product to drink out of? And would it hold up to very high temperatures with repeated use? Or is this mostly a show piece?
Also would the grains rot quicker than regular wood?
It looks really good. It would be cool if it was actually useful for everyday stuff
I love the idea! My only concern as a scientist is, the effects of heated epoxy when ingested? I would not feel safe drinking out of it but certainly, it's a beautiful art display piece!
As a student of science I say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger
As a self proclaimed TH-cam scientist, you'll be ight
@@gtxhunter1720 or sick....
As a trained epoxy technician i know that once epoxy is hardened it’s free of any unpleasant side effects.
Don’t we do that with all our kitchen stuff anyways?
What a hassle just to make a coffee mug that could possibly be hazardous to drink coffee out of it.
Hey megaman, it’s art.
10:57 long sleeves next to a lathe made my heart rate go up, glad it didn’t turn into a clip for “When woodworking goes wrong!”, cool idea and beautiful end result.
Many safety rules being broken. First time I've seen someone use a large while wearing a watch 🙄
I've seen some people get majorly screwed up by not following the rules around lathes. The worst was someone who thought wearing leather gloves was a good idea 😬
The number of problems with this project are astounding.
At least it looks better than expected.
Should have sealed the whole thing with clear resin to make it actually useable, for example?
@@android01978 which did do afterwards, he just didn't have any on hand at the time of the project
@@killsode4760 how do you know?
@@crow2967 peep the pinned comment
@@dylanc3744 didn’t see that, thanks bro. Is a likely possibility that he didn’t, and is just saying that to not seem gross. Nevertheless was a cool project
There's a "I love the smell of epoxy and coffee in the morning" joke here somewhere
6:45 🤣 I was like….why did u just stick watermelon on that 🤣🤣
Awesome job! Wouldn’t the inside of the coffee beans after turning still be porous? You would have to seal it off again before use or everything would taste like coffee and possibly mold. No?
Under another comment the creator added, that they sealed the cup later on, but they hadn't had the right materials on hand at the time of this video :)
I want to see someone invent a micro wood turning lathe and actually turn a single coffee bean into a microscopic coffee mug! Now that would be impressive!
Considering how fragile coffee beans are I don’t think it would be possible. But would be cool if it was!
I have a home made hobby lathe.
Maximum workable area of 18cm wide and 44cm long.
You'd be needing some mad skills to achieve that micro cup.
Why ?
NEVER use rags in that fashion. Great way to inflict unnecessary injuries. Use small pieces that will not get snagged or wrapped around your fingers.
Thanks for the heads up Ben!
I was thinking the same. Also, I would avoid wearing watches and loose fitting long sleeves while working the lathe. This can lead to dangerous injuries. Keep safe!
I think my morning coffee would taste sooo much better if I was drinking out of this cup ❤
I have some questions: A; was the toweling to get oils off of the beans? And 2: what made you pick white over clear resin?
the towel was to not contaminate the beans with dirt and oils he also sifted out the debris in the bag, I'd say the white mica powder choice was purely aesthetic
bout to ask the same. clear seems like the correct choice
@@kclark2833 I like the white personally. The color is just choice, there is no true 'correct' one for everybody.
@@kclark2833 white to go with the milk?
Go to any* coffee shop, diner, bar, ask for a coffee: the cups are white or brown. Coffee drinks are best viewed from topdown anyways... the beans are more active on a white background
"I can make a coffee mug out of coffee beans?"
"Just keep on your medication."
🤣👍
Definitely had to be the best the rooms ever smelled during\after a project. Awesome job yo!
You right! Thanks clamz!
After seeing the thumbnail, I had to watch, out of sheer curiosity.
Well????
@@PrestonsProjects excellent work sir but looks bloody expensive lol .
@@apm9475 why thank you sir. You’re looking at a high entry cost.. but maintaining the hobby is free because wood ya know… grows on trees. That’s unless you’re burning through $12/bag coffee.
When you smell the coffee grinding through the internet that’s when you know you’re in deep
I wonder how many people went off and made a cup of coffee after seeing this video 😂
@@PrestonsProjects Honestly I think that's the only thing missing: brewing that 'leftover' Peet's (10:21, I laughed out loud, nice touch!) and pouring into the new mug. Great video, your experience is evident both as a craftsman and videographer
@@PrestonsProjects not me! I cannot stand the bitterness, no matter what is mixed in the bitter slashes through it all for me. But it smells sooooo gooood! If I wanted to waste money I'd have a coffeepot to brew various blends just for the smells. If you have White Cloud Mountain coffee available where you live, their store displays of bins of roasted beans and their grinder must be like an aromatic slice of heaven. Such a shame it all tastes awful. Do NOT get me started on the horrible waste of chocolate ruined by coffee contamination.
This is so cool and creative I would of never thought to make a coffee mug out of coffee beans !
I love coffee and totally understand why you selected Pete's Coffee for this project. It's the absolute worst coffee on the market, and to choose anything else would have been coffee abuse. Lol
Beautiful materials, cool concept, amazing workmanship…very well done and thoroughly enjoyable to watch.
Thanks DMoney!
Now I wanna get into wood turning even more! This is awesome !
( *Yes a random 13 year old girl did, indeed get heavily interested in wood turning* )
Haha thank you! Working on a lathe is probably one of the most dynamic hobbies you can get into! I highly recommend
@@PrestonsProjects : D
I have an 89 year old friend who used to stand in the window of her father’s shop demonstrating the lathe. She was 12 at the time.
For me, it was drinking a cup of Peet's coffee while you turned Peet's coffee into a cup lol. Pretty cool.
Xzibit approves.
"Yo dawg, we made you a mug out of coffee, so now you can use your coffee to drink your coffee" 😆
My favorite episode was the one with the yellow rv when they played that weird sound one of the best laughs I had as a kid
Probably said he worked at a coffee shop
People don’t use the terms “yo” and “dawg” anymore. They tailed off in the 90’s, I’m told.
Too bad he has no coffee left. He used the whole bag.
@@NefariousEnough they did back when xzibit used to host the show pimp my ride
Nice work. I particularly liked how you made the lid with its seal. The white epoxy also made it look like the beans were floating in milk!👍🏻
yeah next time he should do one with coco pops
One the one hand I'm like, "Hey this is really neat" on the other hand I'm 'OH MY GOD! What a waste of good coffee beans!!"
Lol. this is by far the most scuffed woodturning video I have seen so far. And I have seen lots.
Cool idea, makes me curious about putting hot liquid in a mug lined with exposed coffee beans though.
THIS
I didn't have my food grade epoxy on me at the time of the project so I had to go back and coat the entire cup afterwards. It's 100% sealed now ;)
@@PrestonsProjects this was the info I was looking for thanks 🙏🏾
@@PrestonsProjects Food safety was exactly what I was wondering about👍🏻
@@PrestonsProjects why polish it then?
I can imagine that conversation.
Wife: what mug do you want for your coffee?
Husband: wood you gimme the coffee mug.
Hahahah
😄👍
So cool, I'd love to have one of these. I was kinda sad when you cut off the excess white epoxy.. I was thinking how it was looking like a latte, with all the coffee beans at the bottom and the white part on top would be the froth/foam. Anyway, it still looks awesome! ☕☕☕
A latte barely has any foam, what you mean is a cappuccino.
Not a bad idea! Thank you!!
Absolutely piece of art! ✨❤️🔥✨
Is it safe to drink coffee out of something made with this epoxy? Also, now that the coffee beans are "open" there is no epoxy in them so they are no longer sealed. Does it leak at all? Either way. Super cool idea and well done!
I wouldn't drink out of it
A metal cup insert liner would be ideal.
He does say in another community that he sealed the whole thing with food grade epoxy resin.
He just didn’t have any at the time of making it.
@@fernandapartridge5174 I work a lot with all kinds of epoxy. Of the two "Food grade" epoxies I have used, I still would not drink out of them
Hell no it isn't
This is one of the coolest projects I've seen in a while, and I'll bet it made your shop smell GREAT for a couple of days!
It absolutely did!
Thanks Chris!
Starbucks: "we'll take 10 million"
I’m waiting on the email……
That's a genius idea
Too much workmanship. Starbucks wouldn't be able to mark it up enough.
Dude I'd take one for sure. Are you taking orders?
Have you ever tried " Peet's" coffee? It is SO much better than Starbucks!!!!!
I like when he turns it off with his foot. That's my level of professionalism.
I’d love to have heard some voice over explanation of what you were doing, the process, the tools, the bits, finishes, etc.
There's enough self glorifying blowhards on YT already, my dude.
For a novice like myself it would be helpful to have commentary
So do the volatile resins and polymers enhance the flavor of the coffee, or should I continue drinking styrofoam with my coffee?
I didn’t have my food grade epoxy on me at the time of the video :( it’s got a good food grade coat on it now!
And there’s no VOC’s or BPA’s in any of the resins I use
That's what I was thinking. The job is amazing but i was wondering if the epoxy/wax/glue he used were actually poisonous when used with hot coffee.
Anyways it is a very cool adornment.
@@Cemhta It would be a cool plant pot idk.
The final product is not presented enough.
Stumbled across this channel. Truly amazing work!!!!
Thanks Steve!! I was dropped on my head as a kid. Maybe that has something to do with it
@@PrestonsProjects hahahah. Me too!!!!
I follow closely, watching each item and step …
First item : oh ! I see … gonna make a Peet’s Coffee mug
fade to last step : as usual, I was not even close lol
I see 10million+ views, yet only 32k subs … your work fascinates me ; subbed
Thank you Karen! 😊
I bet that smelled freaking awesome while you were turning it!
Make another one -- with "clear" resin ... Good job !
that'd be worth a try!
Thanks James!!
Someone I know had done this a few years back, but had used a transparent food grade epoxy with just a slight tint of brown. Your project turned out wonderful nonetheless. :)
So was it transparent or brown?
@@PrestonsProjects It was clear transparent, but with just a slight tint of brown.
@@BhaaskarDesai so like Hershey’s chocolate as opposed to Cadbury

Thank you very much!
Спущенные рукава, часы на руке, останавливает станок рукой, делает кружку из токсичной эпоксидки - одно слово - мастер 👍
I think if clear or black epoxy was used this would've been banging! Also a great idea for a coffee bean container .. you can then have green tea leaf in epoxy to build a green tea container and all sorts of containers..hmm 🤔
Lol black?????? No way
@@PrestonsProjects yes way!!
@@rudra7615 you cray. It’d all look one color. You’d have to shine a military-grade flashlight to differentiate between the epoxy and bean.
@@PrestonsProjects that's the beauty of it, it ain't all one colour . You got the brown beans and the black epoxy. Trust me man, I can visualise it. Just Photoshop it if you are in doubt

Beautiful. I was wondering about the resins in contact with the hot drink. I suppose they are safe?
this kind of videos , just like a lot of the quick food recipes are not something that would work in real life, their process is nice to watch but that's it

I bet it smelt lovely!
