Pre-soaked film. During the pre-soak, mixed 1L Caffenol CL in ~800mL water. 16g waterfree washing soda, 12g Vitamin C, 12g iodized salt, and 40g Essential Everyday instant coffee, distilled water. Waited for microbubbling to stop after each addition. Poured into tank, then topped off with distilled water. Agitated 40x over first minute, then 5x over 15 seconds at 20:00 and 40:00. These are half-agitations, gently (i.e., gently twisting to a 90-degree inversion, then gently back).

After 62 minutes, disposed of developer, rinsed in tap water. Fixed in Ilford Rapid Fixer 1+4 for 6 minutes (that’s now 41 rolls from this batch of fixer), inverting 10x over 15 seconds at the top of every minute. Recaptured fixer and rinsed for ten minutes, then emptied tank, added a few drops of Photo-Flo, filled tank again and agitated 20x, and hung negatives vertically to dry.
