Few scents feel as grounding as freshly brewed coffee. It evokes quiet mornings, focused workdays, and cozy afternoons by the window. If you’ve ever wondered how to make coffee scented candles, you’re likely chasing that same sense of comfort, ritual, and richness.
At Aurié Luxe Co., we understand scent not just as fragrance but as memory. While we’ll walk you through a simple method to craft coffee candles at home, we also invite you to explore our spiced and gourmand candle collection for a no-fuss way to bring that café ambiance into your space with sophistication and soul.
How to Make Coffee Scented Candles at Home
If you're a DIY enthusiast or candle lover exploring new rituals, here’s a straightforward method to create a cozy, coffee-inspired candle.
Materials You’ll Need
-
Coconut-soy wax or soy wax flakes
-
A cotton or wooden wick
-
A heat-safe glass or ceramic jar
-
Ground coffee or whole beans for decoration
-
Coffee fragrance oil with a flash point over 170°F
-
A double boiler or wax melting pitcher
-
A thermometer
-
Wick sticker or hot glue
Instructions
-
Melt the Wax
Using a double boiler, melt the wax until it reaches 180°F. -
Secure the Wick
Attach your wick to the center of the jar using a wick sticker or glue. Let it set before pouring. -
Add the Coffee Fragrance
Once the wax cools slightly to around 160°F, add 15 to 20 drops of high-quality coffee fragrance oil and stir gently. -
Optional: Add Coffee Grounds
Add a pinch of ground coffee for texture, but don’t overdo it. Excess can clog the wick or create smoke. -
Pour the Wax
Slowly pour the mixture into your prepared jar. Use a wick holder to keep the wick centered as it cools. -
Cure and Trim
Let your candle sit undisturbed for 24 hours. Once set, trim the wick to ¼ inch before lighting.
Why Buy Instead: The Aurié Luxe Co. Alternative
DIY candles offer creativity but often fall short in performance. Homemade blends may lack proper scent throw, burn unevenly, or present safety issues if incorrect materials are used.
At Aurié Luxe Co., our candles are hand-poured using perfumer-grade fragrance oils, clean-burning coconut-soy wax, and artisan care. For those who love the richness of coffee, spice, and cozy café-inspired blends, we offer curated options that deliver elegance with every light.
