For this particular brick and mold, I use a mixture of 7 tbsp of tapioca starch, 10 tbsp of coffee ground waste, 1 tbsp of vinegar, and 180 ml of water. However, different blends can create different brick characteristics, so try various ratios for different results. The tapioca starch acts as a binding agent while the coffee ground is the “filler” and the dye. Mix all the ingredients well until there are no lumps in the mixture.
