[C]ollaborations between coffee companies, especially roasters, and other craft companies, usually booze related, are so<\/a>, so<\/a> common<\/a>. These coming-togethers stem as much from mutual respect for good work as a need for companionship from others who commit monkish devotion to perfecting an arcane process unknowable to all but a few.<\/p>\n

Early this year, Portland roaster Coava Coffee teamed up with Gigantic Brewing Company for a fantastic cold brew-infused imperial black saison. There was no surprise, then, when Coava sent us a press release that they\u2019d jumped into another collaboration. We just didn\u2019t expect it to be soap<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Anna Cools, the proprietor of Roots Soap Company<\/a>, blended a brewed El Salvadoran single origin along with its grounds into an all-natural soap scented with anise. \u201cAniseed oil is very popular amongst soap-makers because the fresh spicy scent eliminates\u201d odors, Anna writes. \u201cThe combination of the brewed coffee and fresh grounds is also an odor absorber.\u201d Coffee has long been used at perfumeries<\/a> as a sort of olfactory palate cleanser (though the science is dubious<\/a>), and plenty of soaps have used coffee. This may be the first single-origin soap, though.<\/p>\n

This year has been marked by stranger collaborations. In Denmark, Klaus Thomsen of the Coffee Collective is waiting for his coffee cheese<\/a> to age. Maybe this is a sign of how deeply coffee has settled into our culture\u2014a reflection that it\u2019s constantly in mind and at hand. For sure it shows that coffee collaborations can go beyond coffee stout.<\/p>\n
