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. ",

I tried this exact recipe with corn starch instead of tapioca starch and it’s been a little over two days of drying now. I made enough to have multiple samples to play with so I’ve been inspecting one and it is extremely crumbly right now unfortunately. The texture at the moment reminds me of a cookie. \nMy results could be different because my coffee grounds weren’t ground as finely as Mortier. I will send an update after it has dried for longer if that changes anything and good luck to you! I’d love to hear about any results you have!",

I'm fairly certain other starches work but you might need to do some trial and error, this is definitely a great place to get started.  worst case scenario, you fail and toss the failed results into your yard. :-)"
