Coffee Bean Candles

This Coffee Bean Candles post is sponsored by Lavazza. Opinions are my own. Coffee Bean Candles are super simple and yet sophisticated. It will make you think you’ve brewed a fresh pot, even when you haven’t.glass jar with Coffee Beans and a white candle sitting on coffee stained cloth napkin.

Because clearly just drinking COFFEE isn’t enough for me, I need to use it when decorating too. While I’m no Martha Stewart, I do like to jazz up my tablescapes or special dinners and especially during the holidays. Btw when did that become a word and a thing?

I like to go the natural route with my table decorations. Incorporating things, like ingredients for instance, that I’m using in the meal and because I like to keep it budget friendly I try to use things I already have on hand. I ALWAYS have COFFEE. Just not decaf, ever, because honestly I just don’t see the purpose. Sorry y’all.

Glass jar with coffee Beans and votive candle. Jar is sitting on cloth napkin.

As you know, I’m a brand ambassador for Lavazza. This month’s featured Lavazza product is CAFFE’ ESPRESSO. It’s a medium roast and Lavazza describes it as The best fragrance for those who love the pure pleasure of espresso.

Taste: fragrant, aromatic. Use: ideal for espresso and “long coffee”. It’s available in tin 250g ground and in (8pc) Box 250g ground.

SUPPLIES YOU’LL NEED TO MAKE THESE CANDLES:

(The following contains affiliate links. I earn from qualifying purchases). 

  • JARS – I’m a big fan of these CANNING JARS and use them regularly. 
  • COFFEE BEANS
  • CANDLES – size of candle will depend on the size of the jar you choose. 

HOW TO ASSEMBLE CANDLES: 

(the following contains affiliate links. I earn from qualifying purchases.) 

  1. Place candle in the middle of  JAR , because vanilla and coffee are my jam, I choose vanilla. Use whatever scent you prefer.
  2. Fill around the edges of the jar with COFFEE beans.   

NOTES: Please burn candles responsibly. Never leave burning candles unattended. I don’t recommend re-using the coffee beans, discard them after you’re finished. Common sense and all.

Those table linens have also been stained using leftover brewed COFFEE. Coffee y’all. It’s good for all kinds of things!

    This is the coolest idea!! I know I’m crazy, but I’m not a lover of coffee. However, I LOVE the smell – so this is perfect for me!

    I think everyone loves the smell of coffee beans. Even if they’re not coffee drinkers, there’s something about the bean that is intoxicating. Love this idea for candles!

    Such a cute decor idea for the coffee lover. My grandma was a big fan, HUGE, of dying linens and yarn with coffee before sewing or knitting something original. She said that it gave whatever she was making a “one of a kind” look.
